What is Skins about?

Irreverent comedy drama which follows the messy lives, loves, delirious highs and inevitable lows of a group of raucous teenage friends in Bristol.

Celluloid verdict: A teen drama that recast its entire ensemble every two years and launched half a generation of British actors — messy by design.

Skins is carried by Channel 4, though rights are licensed by territory and change often. Check the Channel 4 hub for everything else on the same service, and the series page for the regions where Celluloid has confirmed availability.

What should I watch after Skins?

If it lands, try Fleabag (92%), Inside No. 9 (89%), Peaky Blinders (89%) next — same shelf, comparable scores. You can also browse all drama series, everything from United Kingdom, or the year it premiered.
