Light up a spliff, knock back a pint and have a wank!
Well, you all know how things left off at the end of the last series. Tony got hit by a bus, Sid and Cassie met at a bench, Maxxie and Anwar made up and everyone had a nice little singing number (?!).
Now we pick up some months later with a whole series of interesting story lines! We follow Tony on his slow road to recovery (apparently getting slammed into by a bus is not something one gets over right away). We see him and Maxxie getting closer even as Sid and Michelle turn slowly away from Tony. We also get to see Maxxie pick up a stalker, which is all sorts of fun.
Moving on, we have a lovely love triangle developing between Sid, Michelle and Tony (who I've always thought really wanted to have a three-way relationship with Sid and Michelle), Jal and Chris start hooking up (I still think she could do better), Cassie disolves and becomes even more mad than before, and Anwar, well... Anwar starts thinking with the wrong part of his body and does wrong by Maxxie...
British teens, drugs, sex, and you have yourself a great time.
This show is absolutely amazing with well written character development, each character has there thing that makes them tick. For Tony, being a bit of a prick, Anwar, chasing girls, Chris, drugs of course, Jal, her impending future. Everything about this show is great to the soundtrack, the humor, to the drama. I don't think I've seen better acting from US actors as I've seen with the cast of "Skins". Both seasons one and two are uncannily great, with the first season the kids living to get away, to the second, graduating college and wondering "What will I do?".
Trust me this series is particularly something special to me. If you like a mixture of great drama, comedy, and wanting to live your youth again, watch this show.
Funny!
I watched the first season on Netflix and bought the second season.
It's funny, irreverent and sexy as only British TV can do.
