Skins, my only love

In today’s article, I am going to tell you about my favorite series of all time, “Skins: UK”. You maybe already heard about it, but not by a real passionate. The first time, I watched it was 3 years ago, in only three days with a friend. It may not seems that impressive, but 6 seasons of 8 episodes of 45 minutes in this lap of time is a marathon for me. But recently, the 7^th season was broadcast, the final one, that I have watched last week-end, so I had to talk about it, passionate that I am!

So what is it? Skins is a teen drama that follows the lives of a group of teenagers in Bristol, England, through the two years. So 1 season is 1 year, so 2 seasons for each generation. The link between the generations is nearly just that they go to the same school. And it explore real teenagers problems such as relationships, families, mental illness (such as eating and bipolar disorder), adolescent sexuality, drug addiction, death and bullying. Said like that it might doesn’t seem fun, but it really is, and addictive (I am the proof ).

Each viewer has a favorite generation, but for me it is the second, with Effy, Freddy, Cook,... 

So here are my 2 favorites characters:

Effy Stonem, from the second generation, played by Kaya Scodelario, the younger sister form one of the main character form the first generation. Effy is the lead character pretty, popular and, like her brother, a natural leader. She is mysterious and distant, attempting to keep her own mental troubles hidden the all-time but she can’t.

Sid, from the first generation, played by Mike Bailey, who is Effy’s brother’s bestfriend. He lacks confidence, is socially uneasy and struggles with school work, but so charming for the viewer.

And don't be shy, if you have any disagrement, or anything to add: Comment!
And I'm going to re-watch an episode! 

Once again, it is just a point of view...
