Review of Skins

Skins (2007–2013)
10/10
Series 1
25 May 2013
My 10 star rating is for season 1 only. The love story between Cassie and Sid is one of the most magical that I have seen in any of the arts. It still effects me greatly although I have watched this season 3 times.

Season two is good, but compared to the brilliance of the first season it is anemic.

Season 3 is merely OK...and then things take a turn for the worse.

Seasons 4 onwards basically spoiled this otherwise brilliant TV show for me. The characters are just TOO grotesquely spoilt. They are two dimensional and repugnant. There are moments of the original magic shining through but these are few and far between.

I am very much looking forward to the Skins movie that apparently reintroduces Cassie and Sid.
