+John. Subscriber¹ Posted March 13, 2010 Subscriber¹ Share Posted March 13, 2010 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.

The_Wizard Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Plus, doing what they did last week was tasteless and unnecessary. I agree, but it has got people talking about skins quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicken-royal Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 The dude in the end scene reminded me of a couple of characters in Heavy Rain... (one in main game, one in the first DLC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piggy Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I finally got round to watching it. Seriously? kind of an odd thing to do. I guess it probably increased their ratings or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilrich Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GameOverRob Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemonbear Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I prefer the original cast so much more after this series. You could actually love the people from the original cast like Cassie, whereas these kids are like THUMBS DOWN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappy Veteran Posted March 15, 2010 Veteran Share Posted March 15, 2010 Series 3 was pretty good with the new cast, not hating that series by far but this series has been pointless on so many levels. Starting with the Thomas episode I think turned away so many viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad. Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rappy Veteran Posted March 16, 2010 Veteran Share Posted March 16, 2010 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. Source just 11? wow :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Wizard Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 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.
