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 more bitching, .. Read more

    Sub-cutean treatment

    With the closing act of Series 1 you knew it was going to be a much darker affair second time around- and oh yes, the skins kids have shed their cute-ish shells and are in for some growing up hell. proper.

    Episode 1 may be the funniest episode of the lot, but it lets you glimpse things to come. Where Season 1 was more balanced in the drama and comedy department, the contrast here is much starker, crasser. There is hilarious bits and deeply disturbing developments, hearty laughs as well as emotional shocks.

    Series 2 takes more patience, is much more difficult viewing, but is ultimately very rewarding. The 'pink fluffy fairy lights' are rarer, but when they come, their impact here is much greater and clearer than in the weed cloud shrouded first series.

    Too much of everything

    When I saw Skins Season 1 it was my favourite program. Jokes, comments and everything in it was so great , funny it was bloody wicked!

    Season 2 got more boring, story went way too far in every single way. It started as a group of young cool kids hanging around (all season 1) and ended like a stupid depressing and unrealistic story that will just continue to go nowhere.

    And 3rd season will be even worse.

    One of the best shows.

    Well from the inventors of Shameless has to be said they did it again. Skins is one of the most worth watching tv series on television that is if your the right age andcan relate. Have to say though not as good as shameless.

    An excellent follow up

    I wasn't expecting the second series to be quite as good as the first however I was pleasantly suprised. Series 2 provided an excellent follow up to the first series, tackling issues such as disability, death, love and passion. Its just a shame that this is the last we'll see of the original skins cast.
