#12 Skins

Getting hooked on a series is one of the best and worst things - you'd know if you've been a series addict before too.

Recently I finished watching the series Skins after about 2 months, which is a rather interesting one. I had a discussion with the friend who got me into it about why it's so good cos essentially it's just about teens who are going through sixth form and what they get up to, except it's really twisted and unrealistic at times since it's not very likely that someone who's 17 or 18 will have quite so much drama in their life, or more, that some of the characters don't appear to ever work yet still got good A level grades.

Truthfully, I hated watching skins the first time but I forced myself through the first 2 episodes cos I heard how good it was but now that I've finished all the episodes, and all the extra side story episodes, I just feel very lost. I felt like I grew to know the characters and we were almost friends cos i'm the same age as them all. I saw everything they went through and I felt bad for them most of them time cos it's true how badly adults underestimate the struggles and how much we have to go through sometimes.

I had several moments of disbelief and disagreement with the things presented in the program cos I must say it is rather explicit but again, I'm just feeling a little aimless now but I guess today's blessing is that I finally have my life back away from staying up in my bed binge watching. I wish the characters the best of luck with their future just as I wish for everyone (real life people) too.

All the love,
Haynam :)
