Critic Reviews
Skins (2007) Review: Bristol Teens, Three Generations
★★★★☆
Skins is the Bristol teen drama that recast itself every two series. Its early generations are fearless and funny; the later run is patchier and louder.
Yes. The first four series are British teen drama at its boldest, and the dip afterwards is worth riding out if frank drug and sex content won't put you off.
