Skins Reviews
“Channel 4’s yoof comedy-drama, a frequently laugh-out-loud funny, often insightful, occasionally moving, and generally thoroughly entertaining series, follows and explores the lives a group of 16 and 17-year-old friends from Bristol: teenagers who for once actually look like teenagers.” The One-Line Review (season 1)
“In the end, Skins offers an unsanitized portrait of teenage life that oftentimes is sanitized for television. Its success lies in the fine acting of the young cast, as well as the show’s ability to shift between the more serious moments and humor.” popmatters.com (season 1)
“The thing that makes this different from Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, or any of those typical teen shows is the explicitness. There is nudity, drug use, curse words, you name it. These teenagers are acting like real teenagers. We do not just see their sappy little romances and their time at school. We see them smoking crack, having sex, popping pills. We see them doing real things. The best way that I can describe it is Kids meets Degrassi. It takes all of the good elements of the teen drama and adds in the things that American television is too scared to show you. The wonderful thing about the cast is that they are all real teenagers. So many times in American TV shows, we have 25 year olds pretending that they are still 17. Every cast member in Skins is an actual teenager and I feel this helps them portray the character that much more…” Grade A, macguff.in (season 1)
“…while Skins is sometimes gritty, it's never dreary—not even when venturing deep into the delusions of an air-headed anorexic, or exploring the developing wedge between a gay teen and his increasingly intolerant Muslim best friend (played by Slumdog Millionaire's Dev Patel). More often than not, the show sticks to the comic side of being young and feeling indestructible, whether that involves fleeing a trashed mini-mansion one step ahead of angry parents, or getting fleeced by the locals during a class trip to Russia. It also gets a lot of mileage from its chief protagonist/antagonist, an über-popular kid (About A Boy's Nicholas Hoult) who manipulates his insecure girlfriend and virginal best friend for his own private amusement. On top of all that, Skins is noteworthy for its structure, which threads one master plot—involving Hoult's comeuppance and the maturation of his best friend, played by the remarkable Mike Bailey—through standalone episodes that cover the individual tribulations of each of the show's main characters. As intimately involved as these kids are with each other, they're also young and narcissistic, and thus assume that they're the only ones really suffering, while their friends must all have great home lives. There have been few TV series as knowing about how adolescents can feel so lonely while surrounded by friends.” avclub.com (season 1)
“The second series of this popular, Bristol set, youth centred comedy drama, notably darker and more dramatic in tone than its predecessor, is an honest, brave, and often very funny attempt to capture the lives of a group of young people on the verge of adulthood.” The One-Line Review (season 2)
“..the show takes risks with its characters and story. Fans of the first series should steel themselves for a rollercoaster of emotions, but shouldn't hesitate to dive right into this recommended collection of episodes.” DVD Talk (season 2)
“he season showcases a cast that survived the growing pains of a television show in flux, and continues to deliver a similar, if not quite the same experience that fans became hooked on in the first place. Recommended.” DVD Talk (season 4)
