    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. 1 rating and then for the presence of old actors
    filmed as if for the sake of money and hype on good old skins
    effy's story is even least of all absurd, but from such a beginning it was already clear that something would be dubious
    and just looked at how effy uses a cuckold programmer while **** the boss and slaughtering the fact that her friend is dying of cancer (by the way, Naomi was interesting to watch and in principle her story is really sad)
    further the story with cassie and this .....
    I feel like I'm watching a boring melodrama in places
    they completely scored on the story with the seed, apparently due to the impossibility of filming (?) instead, we now have a photographer who always says that he takes pictures, likes to take pictures, and in general he is a photographer))))
    already here it was clear that the scriptwriter felt like he was under some kind of drugs
    well, it’s like a common situation that your pictures are posted on the Internet and they take you to be called to shoot when they find you in a cafe all over the city)
    ok let's move on to the history of the cook and this is complete ****
    here the reviewer wrote that this shows him depressive and blah blah blah
    but in fact, we were presented with him as a complete moron and not at all the same as in previous seasons
    here he runs after a whore (the boss's wife) while his girl is hung on a tree and her family is hung (this did not stop him from making out with a whore)
    I’m silent about the black one who ****ed this whore and beat the cook by issuing a bunch of insults, and in the end he has dreams where they are bros and miss each other
    in conclusion, this is definitely not worth watching    … Full Review »

    This final season essentialy consists of three mini-films centred around Effy, Cassie and Cook. Of these three the only one I thought wasThis final season essentialy consists of three mini-films centred around Effy, Cassie and Cook. Of these three the only one I thought was actually good was Cook's story. Both of the other two stories felt very low-stakes and a bit boring. There's none of the humour of the original Skins seasons and it's instead replaced by angst and sorrow. Whilst I can accept that this may have been their creator's intentions, it does lack the charm that made me fall in love with Skins.

    I want to take a second to praise Cook's story though. It's not hugely different from the previous two in terms of tone but I feel that the acting from Jack O'Connell takes it to another level. He pulls off the blend of depression, desperation and hopelessness that was always under the surface of Cook even in S3 and S4. Without such a strong lead I do feel that I would've felt the same way about Cook's story as I did the two others.

    Overall, it's a fairly bittersweet ending to Skins. After watching the entire series again it doesn't quite hold up to my memory of it but the feelings of nostalgia I got were very real and I will always appreciate Skins as an ambitious project that (whilst melodramatic) didn't portray a fake version of teens and dealt with interesting and vital storylines that may have helped a generation that might have otherwise felt isolated in their issues.    … Full Review »
