Product Description
All eight episodes from the fifth series of the teen comedy drama following the chaotic lives and loves of a group of hard-partying college students. In this series, autumn term has begun at Roundview, and a new set of sixth-formers are introduced. Prissy queen-bee Mini (Freya Mavor) is instantly determined to make the life of oddball Franky (Dakota Blue Richards) a living hell. After enlisting her friends Liv and Grace (Laya Lewis and Jessica Sula), and boyfriend Nick (Sean Teale) to launch a smear campaign against her, Mini is less than impressed when Grace jumps ship and sticks up for the new girl. The priapic Alo (Will Merrick) is only interested in girls, while his best friend Rich (Alexander Arnold) is too into his 'heavy metal' exterior to lower himself to 'mainstream' chicks. The episodes comprise: 'Franky', 'Rich', 'Mini', 'Liv', 'Nick', 'Alo', 'Grace' and 'Everyone'.
Synopsis
Channel 4's critically-acclaimed drama SKINS enters its fifth series following the angst-ridden lives of its teenage characters, as they grapple with adolescence. This series introduces the third generation of sixth formers; a once again, eclectic mix of characters. Dakota Blue Richards (THE GOLDEN COMPASS) stars as Franky, who automatically sets herself up as an outsider when she joins the school three weeks late. As Mini, Liv and Grace do their best to both help and hinder her settling in period, we also meet the new boys Alo, Rich, Nick, and Matty. Expect plenty more bitching, backstabbing, and general angst-ridden behaviour in this, the complete fifth series.

I must say I am completely eating my words! This is the second review I have left for this, and I am proud to say I am wrong! I did not like the beginning of this series, at all! However we are now nearing the end of this series and it really has vastly improved. The acting has got better and the writing is back on top form, still the worst series when it comes to Skins but a still a very good series!

Very good series once again only saw the first couple of episodes but from what i have seen i think this series is only gonna get better people are still saying this isn't as good as the first series but thats because the first series was brand new and we weren't use to it even the second series of skins wasn't as good as the first but still that series was wicked same as this one very good new set of characters same as with all skins lots of sex drugs violence and fantastic scenarios this deserves 5 stars absolutely epic

This one seamed to move away from the first series as the actors nearly all changed, however you soon accepted all the new characters and it was entertaining once again.

This is a great show. I love how you get to see all the different buildings and fields of different countries. The stories for each episode are greatly done.

Hard Act to Follow
Series 5, as much as i wanted to like it, simply has nothing on the first four series. Still worth watching, but quite disappointing when compared to what's been before it.

skins season 5
Characters are not as enticing as in previous seasons. There is less "under the skin" tension. It seems to me to be a little more forced and therefore less gripping. Read more
