Series four of the much awaited Skins season arrived in January, with series 3 being a great succsess they had a tough act to follow. At the start of the first episode I waited anxiously to see what drama was to unfold next, and at first I was a little disapointed. Welll, I mean there was drama as it started off with a girl commiting sucicde, but it didn’t seem to have the edge it did previously. It might be because we have all become acoustom to seeing drug taking and suicide on TV and so the thrill of last season had seemed to have gone. However in the next episode they completely and utterly won me back, as “Cook” had just been realised on bail from prison. It is here where we see his mum and brother. In the previous series “Cook” has always seemed like he was alone and that he didn’t need anyone. So for him to have to stay with his mum was quite funny. It also showed another side to him, as when he was with his younger brother he seemed more caring and loving.
Series four for Skins I think was tough to do as It had the posibility of becoming stale and I think that some of the episodes have been a bit hit and miss. Perhaps it is because it had been “over-hyped” and that it could not possibly meet everyones expectations of it. Putting all this aside, it is still a gripping drama with some great characters and story lines.
My favorite episode by far was “JJ’s” episode. “JJ” has autism and has never had a girl friend, in this episode “JJ” finially gets the girl, with the most unusuall rendition of Spandau ballet’s True I have ever heard.
Even though this series of Skins has been a little disapointing, it has not stopped me watching it and I will continue to watch it, because I have formed a relationship with the characters and I empithise with them. That is why Skins has and will continue to succsed and be watched by millions.
