Skins (UK show)

inbetweeners is also normalfaggy

cook is one of the best characters in 21st century media. he has one of the most memorable redemption arcs in storytelling

Literally the only show where teenage problems were taken seriously, and thats why it was that successful

Cook last season arc was KINO

I don't know many other shows that kick started so many film careers, it's interesting seeing the amount of now well-known people who star in it.

I can't watch it again because of nostalgia

from s3e1 to the last glimpse, every scene he was in was fantastic. everyone both deserves and should avoid friends like cook, and thats what makes him great.
i literally cannot watch the final scene of s4 without a tear coming to my eye.

It's pretty good for vicariously experiencing wild late-teen life but it does get increasingly absurd and unbelievable. It's hard to find now with the original music though and it is totally neutered without it.

Its honestly still worth watching. Definitely brings nostalgia blues, but its cheesy and enjoyable

you're actually spot on

>tfw wanted to be a cook
>couldnt even manage autistic JJ as he had sex with a lesbian

I liked it a lot.
I liked that it wasn't the usual teenage drama, or at least it looked like that if you watched only the first episode.
Then every episode focused on one character and it was overall clever on how the narrative was structured, with the story slightly changed because the story was told through the eyes of the characters, showing how they change. I.E. the Sid episode in the first season made us believe that his father was just an asshole while his mother was alright. Then with the second season we do realize, along with Sid, that his father was caring about him and trying to tell him to grow up while his mother mostly didn't care.
Chris episodes were pretty damn good and the Tony dream episode was kinda daring since it explicitely told us that he dreams of fucking his little sister.
Than the second gen came and it wasn't as good as the first but was saved by Cook which was a great character with a great actor.
Then the third gen and it was mostly an edgier Gossip Girl. Pity.

why teens love smut for teen sluts?

More indoctrination of the youth to accept Marxist ideology. Flaming liberals with little to no regard for standards, the family unity, adults need I go on

Kek are you kidding? There are almost no consequences for their actions, even when they lose their house they can just crash on one of their lads home. Everything works out in the end (except when one of the token charcaters die)

>the memory of that one beautiful Friday in July 2010 when I went to the shop with my older brother and he bought me a bag full of beer and a 10 pack of Mayfairs will never leave me

I watched it, and I did. But isn't that all television now?

Why is UK teen kino so good?

Attached: Scum 1979.png (498x735, 615K)

she was solid in Peaky Blinders

I haven't seen it but I know what it's about and have seen some scenes. It's what everyone else must of been doing in Secondary School, while I was experiencing The Inbetweeners.

two first seasons are teenkino

god damn sketch made me so mad, then one episode she's just around, and everyone's fine with it

First two series were great. Everything after was crap

watch cook's episodes in the last season. effy and cassie's eps of s7 are pretty forgettable, but cooks is great

this

I think that pretty much every non Chad boy, that had at least a small group of friends, can relate to Inbetweeners, except that getting none was never that funny irl.

Everything works out in the end? Im sorry but you clearly didnt watch any of the seasons, i dont know if you didnt notice but every gen had 2 seasons, you might forgot about that :)

the deaths cook caused were entirely preventable and to me that was poor writing

>one
three died, one went to prison, one killed everyone around him, one lost his dad and his girlfriend

how did they all die?

actions have consequences. cook was a little too loose in his leisure. i think the point was that they were entirely preventable, but he was selfish

kaya was so hot back then lads

Attached: effy-fu-a.gif (500x361, 1.02M)

Yeah, cause the way they portray mental health with Cassie is super realistic (like some quirky girl fantasy) or the way that Sid studies during one night and manage to do his homework perfectly

who was best girl?

>ywn have a crazy but redeemable slutty Cassie gf

she's still so hot

Attached: kaya 12.png (540x640, 741K)

I meant in each season, thats exactly why I said token.

From what I can recall, most of the second gen was them fucking around and Cook making every situation worse by being an asshat. Didn't even care to see what the final gen was about.

only ever saw ads for it on TV but from what I gathered it was teens doing degenerate things. Most of the people that told me it was good were women or gays so take that for what it's worth OP.

i wouldn't say she's best. me? i'm an effy guy. however, emily and naomi have the best romance

Attached: Kathryn-Prescott.jpg (580x600, 72K)

first one was either drug overdose or medical condition but I can't remember, second got his brains bashed out with a baseball bat by a serial killer, third died in a car crash.

i'm mean don't get me wrong i'd fuck the shit out of her still but i prefer teen kaya

forgive me user. I have a tendency to skim words.

>teen kino
It's called teeno, FYI

Skins was what everybody wanted their life to be like. Inbetweeners was what their life was actually like.

used to run down to the co-op with my brother and buy 3 crates of strongbow for the boys waiting at mine. then get wasted in the rec. absolute highlights of my life.

naomi got cancer in the effy 2 episode special, Freddie was killed by effy's psychiatrist and chris died from shitty genes

it seems everybody has good memories of their childhood with their friends apart form me

Sid being a loser and his dad going ballistic is pretty good. youtube.com/watch?v=97F4Ri7EFXI The gayboy dancer who wants to strut around but his dad want him to be a builder wasn't as good. The paki dude episodes were funny as shit. Getting thrown out of the mosque because he was talking on the phone doing prayer. "My uncle wants to stone me to death now!"

I don't either. I became a friendless loser straight after school and my social status dropped as puberty kicked in and my ugliness became more apparent.

I met the actress who played Cassie in Bristol. She was a stuck-up cunt.

I left on a scholarship abroad for a year and everyone forgot I existed. That was 5 years ago.

So was Cassie.

I have so many regrets about my past. there are so many things I would have done differently with the knowledge I have today looking back. but at that age its impossible to have enough wisdom to make all the right plays and decisions, it all just falls down to luck and parenting, both out of your control. it's not fair.

that's tough man. sorry that had to happen to you.

ALL OF YOU ARE REPORTED FOR UNDERAGE

Yeah I liked it, each generation got more unrealistic (not that the first was that realistic) but there were definite moments of familiarity I saw throughout the first two generations at least. Third generation was complete shite, way too much like a yank show. Seems like another show that wouldn't be enjoyable if you weren't a contemporary British teen.

i know that feel. but find kindred spirits at work if you're not NEET, and start getting together to play old board games and play old vidya. or start skating and gain some dirtbag fun friends
most of my friends are electronic at this point, best friends from high school i only communicate with on steam, or group chat texts. everyone's moved or abandoned me cus i'm married.

Tony is the most realistic portrayal of teenage Chad

Attached: v45NoZ9N24c.jpg (577x582, 39K)

Everyone prefer teen versions.

Tony is honest to god the worst part of the first generation, he's completely unbelievable as a character and how you think he's a realistic portrayal of anything is beyond me

You kidding? The football chad from 3rd generation is more realistic. Tony is like teenage Patrick Bateman in 1st season and then doesn't even qualify as a chad in the 2nd one.

i wanted sid to end up fucking effy, then tony the potato to get mad about it

was a good show to encourage my prolific drug use at the time

I still have a couple of people I sometimes hang out with but nowhere near as many as before. I've even bumped into people who thought I was still away. I tell them I was only gone for a year and I've been here this whole time and get an "oh" and not much else. I've been thinking of moving and starting over. Would be easier than trying to revive pas friendships. People just move on and there's no place for you anymore.

what city are you in?

Didn't you stay in contact with them when you were away? Didn't you tell the people you cared about when you got back? You could have done more

Bucharest.

I did. I posted on Facebook since I couldn't while in China. A bunch of my old friends now live abroad since they earn better.

post the webm on the bus

move to budapest, or berlin

that's true but they recognise that the guy who fucks is a massive prick, you're kind of meant to root for the guy who never fucks and he does get the cutest girl after him

I was thinking of Chengdu or Taipei. I don't know German and Hungarians will hate my ass.

Did you enjoy China the first time?

don't remember or have that one.

oh nevermind i do, i remember now

its ok man
I actually rewatched the first season again not that long ago cause I had some nostalgia for it, and it made me realize that my teen/young 20s years are over and so are the days of me actually having tons of friends and girlfriends and actually dating cute girls is over and never coming back

Yup. Making friends with foreigners is easy there because of the whole "them vs us" mentality thing. The food is great and you can make loads of money as a non-Chinese. I also speak the language so the natives don't really hate me as much as the other "westerners".

Don't get tricked into rewatching them. It's all about nostalgia, the writing is pretty dumb and the plot doesn't make sense.

cassie best girl

Loved the scenes with hot guys.

We would watch that shit in high school and be amazed how much shit british teens get into while partying. I was taken by police only once in 4 years of heavy alcohol abuse.

I thought the mean one should have fucked his little sister

Is Dakota Blue Richards good in it? I like her

based fag

i'm not sure anyone made it through seasons 5&6 to know

Brilliant show back then, aged horribly. Don't bother watching past generation 1 (season 1-2).
Loved it as a teen, but I can't see me watch this again now that I'm older

Music was great
It was a great mixture of comfiness and drama
lots of characters that were relatable in one way or another (at least it seemed to me back then)
Cassie a cute
Michelle reminded me too much of my first crush and gf

Worst character in the entire series.

This. My gf told me a while back that she used to enjoy watching skins because it's relatable but hates inbetweeners because the guys on that show are too cringy. TFW I was one of those guys.

Season 1 and 2 are some of the finest television ever made.

It's a pity there is no HD version with the original english broadcast soundtrack. The international soundtrack is pretty shit.

>skins is literally about a bunch of crazy outcasts
>inbetweeners is about a bunch of normalized out casts
>inbetweeners isn't normiecore
ok

Normie cancer which is as deep as a puddle

clueless twat
Inbetweeners is the most normie programme out there. For the kind of person who only wears Lynx and Joop, hire purchases the same Ford and plays FIFA.

1 and 2 are the best in the series, that's a fact, but
>some of the finest television ever made.
not even close to it, the characters are inconsistent as fuck, seems like every episode is written by a different person

Goin spoons tonite , you lads comin?

>crack whore looking anorexic bitch
>cutest
you wot m8

>season 7 was about two disgusting whores and then based cook on some kind of rambo mission

surreal

what season is this? those two on the left are kind of cute, who are they

I wish I was Northern solely for Greggs.

3 and 4 my guy

Got shittier with every season, but it's still one of the best shows I ever saw.

thanks

Absolute piece of shit show.
My life was 1000% more entertaining than Skins, and it really pissed me off because I'd watch that show and they'd party and fuck and it wasn't even close to being as interesting as what I'd been doing the week previously.
Me and my mates partied way way way harder than these fucking absolute worthless cunts, and we didn't get a TV show made about us, so Skins can fuck off.

series 1-2 are kino.. though I feel a painful nostalgia watching them again even though my teenage years were nothing like theirs. No other TV show makes me feel sadder than Skins for some reason.

series 3 onwards is trash

he knobs the fit one too

Nice bum.
