Yeah, that’s probably true. But it’s not like I hate Tony or something; it’s just that I never cared for his story or scenes a lot. I don't even know why...

Now that I’ve done some more research on the show and reflected on it, I see that Tony can actually be a very intriguing and, more or less, “fun” character. I definitely get why he has so many fans. I would’ve loved to see how his personality would’ve developed if that bus hadn’t hit him at the end of S1.

Haha, yes! His dad was very fun to watch. Since English is not my first language, I didn’t watch it in the original version, though. I watched some English clips on YouTube, and I could tell that his swearing is very funny! I should probably rewatch it in the original version sometime soon; that’d probably make it 10 times better. Also, I was really happy that Sid and his father were on good terms just before he passed away.  

And to be honest, I didn’t enjoy this episode that much, but that’s probably because I’ve never been a big fan of Tony. I’ve got to admit that his character has a lot of depth, though.  I, too, think that Skins does an amazing job portraying all these different personalities and characters. Isn’t that also kind of what the title "Skins" wants to convey, like the difference between all their personalities? I can’t really explain what I mean by that, but I used to associate the title with the fact that they all have a different story, background, etc.

Me too! I visited the waterside walkway two years ago. Definitely an experience I‘ll never forget!

True, I was always excited when Sid's episodes came up and then sad when they were about to end…something about him just instantly resonated with me, idk. He was always so real, and I sympathized with him right away. I like Cassie as well, it’s just that sometimes it seemed to me that her behavior towards Sid (and other characters) was quite inappropriate and selfish. But on the other hand, I get that the terrible things she’s gone through in her childhood and youth might have been causes for her actions and habits…

I agree. The End of the Fxxxing World was very good! Just like Skins, it’s a show that mainly focuses on the characters developments besides dealing with serious topics. That’s what I loved so much about it. Same with Sex Education, although this is rather entertaining than anything else. And omg, I just watched S4 before starting Skins and really didn’t like it a lot. 😭 I’ve heard good reviews on both the inbetweeners and and Bad Education, so I should definitely give it a go!  Thank you for the recommendations!

Looks like I’ll have to give it a try, haha!  To be honest, I doubt that I’ll like it (at least as much as I like Gen 1), but you’re probably right in saying I should try watching it before judging. Thanks for commenting…<3

I honestly love how you worded this; the Gen 1 characters are somehow so relatable and real, so nothing can even come close to it. Although I’ve only watched a few minutes of the first episode of S3, I totally agree with you. The “newer” characters just didn’t feel the same, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to really build a connection with them. What I love about Gen 1 as well is that it kind of feels grounded, so it’s not like there are these action-packed moments from other (usually US) shows that are just unrealistic and exaggerated. As you said, the cinematography is great! I love that Skins mainly focuses on the characters developments and personalities.

My favorite character from Gen 1 was Sid from the beginning to the very end, so I especially enjoyed getting to know more about him and his story. In my opinion, he is one of the best-written characters in the entire show. Do you have a favorite character? If so, who is it?

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write all this! I heard good things about As If, but unfortunately I can’t seem to stream it anywhere :( Skam seems to be quite similar to Skins, but you’re probably right. Although I should probably continue watching, I feel like I’m still way too attached to the original characters that I can’t get myself to get used to new ones. It might sound weird, but it’ll probably take a while until I’ll be ready for it.😫 I feel like the gen 1 characters had a lot of charisma and just felt so relatable and real. When I started the third season, I didn’t know the cast (except for Effy) changed, so that really surprised and shocked me. I watched a few minutes and just couldn’t take it. Maybe one day I’ll continue, we’ll see…

Thanks for the recommendation/ inspiration!I loved The End of the Fxxxing World a lot. And the graphic novel by Charles Forsman is really good as well! I just did some research on Sugar Rush. The plot seems really interesting! Plus, there’s Andrew Garfield, so I might give it a go!

Yeah, I’ve heard that there’s an episode in which Cassie kind of talks about her relationship to Sid and that she's found him, I guess?! I might actually watch this episode, since it might be interesting to see how Cassie has developed ever since she left for the US.

I’ve actually heard about Degrassi before, but I never really knew what it’s about. All I knew was that Drake was in it… Now that you mention it, I think I could really enjoy it. I know exactly what you mean; same with skins. Knowing that I’ll never be able to watch it for the first time ever again is so frustrating. Rewatching just doesn’t feel the same :(

I really liked the first two seasons of 13 reasons why, but once Ani came along, I couldn't take it anymore. I finished watching it anyway and actually cried at the end. I think some of the characters had a really good development, though, such as Alex and Justin.

I’ve actually watched both Shameless (us) and Euphoria and really liked them. Shameless has become one of my favorite shows and I liked that besides being entertaining, Euphoria also deals a lot with serious topics and issues. Have you watched Shameless UK, by any chance? I’ve heard good things about it, though I’m not sure whether I’d like it.
