Critic Reviews

James Poniewozik

Season 1 Review: The realism doesn't extend to the exaggerated characters and plots, but if you focus on the sharp dialogue (and aren't an easily worried parent), these students earn a solid ... B. Read full review

Ellen Gray

Season 1 Review: I nearly wrote off Skins after the first episode. But as it continued--I've now seen three, the first two of which will air back-to-back on Sunday--I found some of the characters, including a dreamy anorexic named Cassie (Hannah Murray), starting to get under my own skin.

Alan Sepinwall

Season 1 Review: So, to sum up: decadent and adult, but too entertaining to be this week's harbinger of the apocalypse. Read full review

Robert Lloyd

Season 1 Review: It's all elevated by looking really beautiful (though not -- and this is the crucial difference -- stylish). The pictures fill in the blanks, and even as Skins strains credibility, it achieves moments of poetry. Read full review

Rob Owen

Season 1 Review: The show is subtitled, which helps viewers understand the thick accents and British slang, but the whole thing is a bit nihilistic and the characters come across as somewhat debased. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

Season 1 Review: The glimpses of old-fashioned heart in Sid’s story, and the characters’ deadpan humor, make this show a mildly intriguing chronicle of youth. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Season 1 Review: Despite fine elements, then, the show feels a trifle rudderless--content to deal in edgy high-school archetypes (a gay kid, an irreverent Muslim youth, even one boy with a "Dawson's"-like crush on his teacher), but archetypes nevertheless. Read full review

Me chiflan las series sobre adolescentes: sus amores, sus desavenencias, sus primeros descubrimientos, sus conflictos familiares y personales. Son unas personas aún por madurar, viviendo sus primeras experiencias y eso siempre es fascinante.

This show is good until it isn't, then it's really bad. One of the worst tv show experiences I've ever had.
