A major decrease in quality,
By
This review is from: Skins V3 (DVD)
After 2 Seasons, here comes the new cast with Effie (Tony's sister) as the "main" character. Format of the show is still the same. Each episode still focuses on one specific character. But, oh boy, it is not the Skins of the previous seasons.There is something missing. A little spark that the previous cast had. Also, the writers are trying to re-write the same stories but at some point, you run out of ideas. What do you do? You create a very long and boring love triangle between Effie, James (the bad boy) and Freddie (the good guy). Effie will spend two seasons figuring out which one she prefers. That long. If you did not like Marissa Cooper in The OC, you will not like Effie. She is the Drama Queen who always gets herself into trouble. However, unlike Marissa, she is not an idiot. Effie is very very smart. Skins remains probably the best teenage show out there (and there are always kids becoming teenagers), but the quality has decreased substantially with the new cast. It starts to glamourize their lifestyle a little. Do yourself a favour and do not buy Seasons 3 and 4 of Skins. You will be disappointed.

Generation 2 holds up just as well as G1.,

This review is from: Skins V3 (DVD)
Let's be honest: everyone who's seen Seasons 1 & 2 of Skins UK will say that they will never prefer another generation over G1. Understood, but you cannot deny that G2 was almost just as good. Season 3 brings a whole new cast and a whole new set of problems care of exceptional teenage angst. It's hard to get used to seeing different students walk the halls of Roundview, but at least give it a try because G2 ended up being exceptional!You'll be grossed out, shocked and giddy (not to mention uttery RUINED) when you watch this season and the one that follows. Prepare yourselves for loads of drama and another character death (I won't say any more than that for fear of spoiling the series for you). In some ways, the storylines are a bit far-fetched but I've no doubt that there are actually some kids leading lives like this on a daily basis. It's sad, really.

Stick with it as it gets better.,
By G. K. Peshick - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Skins V3 (DVD)
I was about to give up on the third season of Skins with all of its new characters. While I didn't want to prejudge based on my affinity for the characters in the first two seasons, my main reason for wanting to give up on it was because of the writers and directors complete dependence on flatulence and regurgitation. I got so tired of watching people throw up on screen, and then combined with all of the fart jokes, I figured that the writers had nothing to offer so this was all they could do. But I stayed with it and they did start to explore the hidden complexity of the characters and it got better. Not great yet, but better. So, if you want to try this season out, don't miss the first two or three episodes, but don't be completely put off by the stupidity of them either.

Excellent season, different from the previous 2, but pretty good. Great themes BUT do not get the BBC America because scenes are deleted and the music is completely different--you're better off watching it on youtube.

Still very good, but something is missing...,
By Chris Swanson "I'm just this guy, you know?" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Skins V3 (DVD)
Ah, "Skins". E4's fine TV show centering around the lives of various teenagers as they go through... er... life. There's the smart ones, the pretty ones, the gay ones, the sluts, the virgins, the brains, etc. In the first generation there were some excellent characters and some deep, intelligent stories. Now we have here the debut series for the second generation of the series and something is just a bit off.It's hard to say exactly what the problem is. I know part of it is that there's no one with the charm of Sid or the chemistry between him and Tony. Most of the leads seem very self-centered and one-dimensional. Some of them, like JJ, are pretty neat and fun to spend time with, but others just aren't. Effy is annoying, Freddy is too emo to live (as it were), Naomi is basically just there but doesn't do much. Basically the cast just isn't as interesting as they were in the first two series. But that's not to say that this a bad set of stories. It's quite good, actually. You do get quite a lot of angst and lots of times when you want to throttle everyone on screen, and it's definitely not as deep as the first two series, but it does have its charms and some moments of real humor and emotion. Overall it's still something I'd recommend, because even if it's not as good as the first two series, it's still better than much of what's out there. |
