Skins (2007-2013)

Drama for teenagers

Skins deals with a band of teenagers that are in high school in England.
There is three generation, and each generation is composed by very diferent characters. The first generation is composed of Tony, a handsome and very smart guy. Michelle, his girlfriend, Sid his best friend who is in love with Michelle, Cassie an anorexic girl, Jal a very good student, Maxxie a dancer who is gay and Anwar a muslim.
The second generation is composed of Effy (Tony's sister), a young girl who loves play with boys, Pandora a moody, weird but a good friend to Effy, JJ an autistc and constantly lowered by his friends, Cook and Freddie who are both in love with Effy, Emily and Katie very two different twins, and Noémie a rebel teenagers attracted to girls.
And, the last genereation is composed of Frankie a lonely girl, Minnie a shallow but vulnerable girl, his boyfriend Nick captain of rugby in his high school, Matty who is Nick's brother, Rich a metallic fan who doesn't care about what people think of him, Grace a wise girl who still lives in fairy tale, Liv who absolutly want to looks like Minnie and, the last characters Alo, a farm boy who want to sleep with every girls.
The last season is about Naomi, Effy and Cook : We saw them adults.

What do I think about Skins : To me, Skins is one of the best teenagers TV show. Each episode is dedicated to one of the characters and, this show is really realistic. It teaches us that life is not a fairy tale, especially when you're a teenager. It shows us that bad things can happened to us.
Skins treated of all subjects of teenage years : Love problems, school problems, the way of people, even if they're friends treat each other. Sometimes we can identify ourselves to a character, it show us that teenage years are the best but also the worst.
The last season is a little bit more sloppy, in my opinion it wasn't necessary to show only three characters adults. She should of developped more the last season.
