Skins: The British teen Angst Tv Series



I've read about the British TV series Skins a year ago, but just had the chance to see it this week. I got so curious kasi it was controversial daw, tackling the youth's sexual and mental health, drug addiction, among many things that "represent" today's young culture.

It was, however funny and enjoyable. Parang Gossip Girl, but more shocking (extreme nudity, language, drugs). But, streaming sites are also very scarce. Ü

Skins revolves around the lives of a group of 16–19 year-old friends who live in Bristol. The Dawson Bros claim the series represents the everyday lives of adolescents. These characters attend the fictional Roundview Sixth Form College in Bristol. Each episode has a self-contained theme and focuses on each different character, however there are several story arcs that span different episodes. Accompanying the episode title at the beginning of each episode is a short few second montage of that episode's central character. The show's co-creator Bryan Elsley said that as series 2 ends with the cast going off to university, it will not be possible to keep on following them in the future, the show will operate in two year arcs with new casts.(from wikipedia.com)
