Season 2 Review: There isn’t another show on television like this and it continues to be as gritty and gorgeous as ever. Read full review

Season 2 Review: It knows how to tell a story concisely, packing its short instalments with crucial events, traversing emotional highs and lows, but never seeming bloated. ... Brief as it is, this second and perhaps final series should cement its reputation as a low-key gem. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The series run five half-hour episodes, though features Welsh accents so thick that subtitles will be a must. But this brief, deeply affecting story defies expectations at every turn. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Even when laying bare the bleak realities of teenage life in the wreckage of Britain’s forgotten places, In My Skin is filled with tenderness. ... Also preventing the series from turning into some kind of burdensome flogging ritual is the humour. Llewellyn’s dialogue is caustic and sharp, with all the warm familiarity of the Wetherspoons background hum. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Happily smutty dark humor and light melancholy mostly win out over maudlin life lessons. The distinctively British mix of winsome-glum kitchen-sink drama and sitcom beats works in this case, helped by the loose, run-and-gun style of Forbes and her cinematographer, Benedict Spence, and Creevy’s alert, understated performance.

Season 1 Review: The performance that Gabrielle Creevy gives as Bethan also goes a very long way toward making this series so relatable. ... Although the episodes are only a half-hour long, they are dense. A lot happens in each one, but under the supervision of director Lucy Forbes, whose credits include multiple episodes of The End of the F***ing World, they never feel overpacked. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Bethan’s occasional voiceover narration is an inconsistent element of the series, but her self-aware commentary is a welcome counterpoint to her infuriatingly self-sabotaging behavior. While having Bethan explain her inner thoughts can easily become a narrative crutch, In My Skin could have benefited more from Bethan’s reflective observations, which give us a deeper understanding of her often impulsive decisions.

I was not expecting very much when I started to watch this series, however it quickly became apparent that the acting and direction were spot on. So could the story line live up to it. Well at the end of season one I thought it was by and large successful and good enough to watch seasonI was not expecting very much when I started to watch this series, however it quickly became apparent that the acting and direction were spot on. So could the story line live up to it. Well at the end of season one I thought it was by and large successful and good enough to watch season two.
I am so glad I made that decision because season two steps it up significantly in pretty much all areas, and there are various parts where you feel you have just gone through an emotional ringer watching the lives of the various protagonists unfold.
So I would say this is a must watch series. Superb story and super acting.… Expand

Absolutely stunning. It honestly so unassuming creeping up on you so feverishly. The main is so delicate in her role giving it a perfect balance between vulnerable and strong. The stories told feel sincere and the heartbreaks important. Disappointment seems to be the reoccurring themeAbsolutely stunning. It honestly so unassuming creeping up on you so feverishly. The main is so delicate in her role giving it a perfect balance between vulnerable and strong. The stories told feel sincere and the heartbreaks important. Disappointment seems to be the reoccurring theme explored through each character but that not an adjective i could use to describe my own opinion of this because it's a monumental achievement.… Expand
