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.

      Did Labour lose big? They had losses there is no doubt. However let's look at the reality. The conservatives have 168 councils I believe. Labour have 113 and Reform...38. That's a lot of growth for Reform granted. But that is not a wipeout, Reform don't have the majoring in fact at 76 I believe the Liberal Democrats have nearly twice the councils Reform do. So I am thinking there is a lot more noise than signal going on here. Now then let's talk about the law. It's an age restriction. We do it for cigarettes, **** and alcohol. This idea that some kids will find there way around it so it's not worth even trying is really really sad. Hell we can't stop every murder. Should we stop trying there too? That is the logical conclusion.

      A game not selling doesn't mean the people working on it did "bad work". It reviewed decently well. It was also on gamepass on release.
