This series has been really disappointing. Aside from a few golden moments (last week's celia/cook moments come to mind), it's just been one depressing spiral of drug abuse and fights. This wasn't what Skins was meant to be about. Check the first Series...funny, witty and a damned good watch from start to finish. Shame.

Plus, doing what they did last week was tasteless and unnecessary.

I finally got round to watching it. Seriously? kind of an odd thing to do. I guess it probably increased their ratings or something.

ratings are always solid for skins, its E4's biggest show (other then Glee but that's not E4's property) but it was certainly the most talked about

Skins bought in something like 3.6% for E4 during the twist episode then a further 1.6% on +1 that is pretty impressive it would be interesting to know how many people re-watched it on 4od, i joined skins during the previous series which had this current cast and enjoyed that but it started to fizzle out when effy took off with cook and went to see his dad.

Keeping my eye on DigitalSpy for any future updates on the next series, do we have any dates on when this might air?

Effy is such a sh*t actress. Also this whole series has been sh*t!

She also has no reason to be depressed. People like her **** me off.

Also WTF is with the looney phychologist

Her brother got hit by a bus, i think she does have a reason to be depressed...?

NO idea what is with John, just a twist to the end of the series i guess.

I just think the whole production seems so fake and forced. The cast don't seem to fit their characters (see when there was kids trippin' off drugs at the BBQ) and the random cast members (cook's lawyer, sixth form head teacher, phychologist, the twins' parents) seem to forced too.

Hated series 3, and most all of series 4 so far.

Last Thursday's episode of Skins has drawn complaints from fans and charities, according to reports.

The Sun understands that the teen drama's latest instalment, which showed psychotic councillor Dr John Foster (Hugo Speer) appear to beat Freddie (Luke Pasqualino) to death with a baseball bat, caused controversy following its airing on E4.

"There was no need to do that to Freddie. You've definitely lost your fans," one fan remarked.

Lucy Russell of charity Young Minds said: "It could stop young people getting help."

Channel 4 said that only 11 complaints were made in total, adding: "The audience expect adult content."

The series finale of Skins airs on Thursday at 10pm on E4.

Only 11 formal complains were made, there have been loads of people complaining about it to friends and such, so that figure isn't really accurate.

This series has been pretty bad compared to the previous seasons, but I'd have to say JJ's has been the best ep this series... hopefully the finale will be back up to standard.

      I think every American should have a course in a 'dry sense of humour' at school; and perhaps 'using sarcasm in jest' oh, and also 'the use or irony in humour'.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
