Skins Mania!

I cried over episode four, "Sid". I really loved Cassie. Hay.

The Skins Gang profile


Tony


The leader of the pack. Also the most good looking guy in town. A manipulative asshole.

Michelle


Tony's ex- girlfriend. The "shaggable" one. Sometimes annoying and self-centered, but she's really smart and lovely.

Sid



Tony's "bestfriend" whom he always plays for a fool. He's so awkward that he doesn't seem to now what to do right. Forever in love with Michelle, but feels bad for Cassie.


Cassie



The "anorexic, self-harming, drug-addict". I love her. She's so cute.

Chris


The druggie who's in lovewith their Psychology teacher, Angie. He was left by his mother to fend for himself. Depressing story, really.

Jal


The talented one. She plays the clarinet, aside from being an awesome friend to everybody. She's got two funny brothers and a music tycoon dad.

Maxxie

He's gay and he's cute.

Anwar

The Muslim boy. He is everything not Muslim: he likes dope, tequila, breasts, among other things.


Abigail

The girl Tony openly cheated with. Loaded with her psychiatric meds, she's crazy, but rich.

Effy

Tony's little sister and the only person in their family that he cares about. But she's also crazy.

Posh Kenneth

The black boy. He wasn't in the first two episodes, but he's really funny (and hard to understand because of his slang).

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)
