An engaging group of teenagers with attitude and humour try to maintain their cool as they face the realities of life in the city
The teen drama phenomenon.
Skins is an off-beat comedy drama series about a group of teenagers who grab life by the balls and give it a twirl, who party hard, pass exams, have sex, manage their parents, interface with their teachers and push boundaries – both at home and abroad. The results are a hilarious mixture of sweet, charming and sometimes heart-breaking stories.
Spanning 7 series, Skins follows three generations of 16-17 year olds as they battle their way through the last years of school. Each series brings its own mix of wild and rebellious characters, all of them facing their own private and social demons. Each character addresses a problem or issue affecting teens and young adults in the 21st century, such as drug addiction, sexuality, familial relations and friendships, giving the show a very modern and honest feel.
