Skins, series 2

[effex]

I'm not sure how I feel about the second series of Skins - on one hand, I'm only three episodes in and we've had gay-bashing, amnesia and various other fallout from a subdural hematoma, hard-core stalking, and major loss, which is a bit much all at once. On the other, the acting can be fucking brilliant.

For example, I just finished Sid's episode (#3) and cried like a baby. That scene with him and Tony in the club? Amazing. Fucking amazing.

It's happened a couple of times - there's the musical ('Osama', oh my god), there's usually live music in the backgrounds of bars/clubs, there's the choir a couple of times, there's Jal's ep in the first season... I'll have to keep an eye out, see if it's happening as often as I think it is.

I'll give the next generation a shot, at least.

Don't want to spoil but if the next generation doesn't please you then I'd suggest giving the recent generation a shot.

Oh, I enjoy how Skins uses music, I meant not having the close out group sing-a-long be a trend for every season.
