Reviews

Synopsis
Channel 4's critically-acclaimed drama follows the angst-ridden lives of its teenage characters, as they grapple with issues of race, religion, sexuality, drugs, and eating disorders. Skins' portrayal of these characters as poster children of the hedonistic lifestyle is unflinching in its candour. Expect plenty of bitching, backstabbing, and general bad behaviour in the show's debut series, presented here in its entirety.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Revolution In Teen Series'!, 1 Oct 2008

By	willow (The Universe) - See all my reviews

Skins was pretty much the first teen sitcom that was targeted at 14-20 year olds but with the censor of 18 (others are Hollyoaks & Home & Away).
Skins is about six friends living in northern England (despite the varied accents of the young cast).
It could be argued that Tony is the star of the show, he's the typically cocky, good looking guy who is able to get out of any bad situation he faces. The sitcom (of a mere 8 episodes) follows the six teens, the first few episodes are insights into the most prominent characters.
I think the main thing that separates us Brits form our American cousins is how we like our sitcoms, in contrast with One Tree Hill or The OC Skins is gritty & the actors are all under the age of twenty, & their parents aren't picture perfect forty-somethings (but one siimilarity in the parent actors is thta htey're has-beens).
I feel that the major mistake the writers made was using sterotypes (the ditzy girl is blonde, the camp guy is gay, etc, etc) although this probably doesn't bother a lot of people becuase the said characters are just loveable anyway.
All in all Skins is great I think it has definitely set a standard for future Channel 4 sitcoms to come, while a lot of people feel Skins Season 2 is the better of the two, I feel the first season pocesses a refreshing originality that the other season doesn't quite nail.
