It's your average teen sitcom, only that it's made by brits and features a lot more slags.

I did a lot of drugs as a teen

But nowhere near as much sex :(

I did neither

lol same
It's actually incredibly well written and acted. On top of that, it was the weirdest kind of escapism/idealism for teenagers,
>hey look, you could be this edgy autonomous and fun
And it aired right at the peak of the whole emo scene (maybe even added to it) so every teenager was feeling edgy and depressed 24/7 anyway.
It also reinforced old boomer dailymail fear-mongering about what teenagers were up,
>this is what YOUR KIDS are doing when they go to a "sleepover" at a friend's house
It's a show that just couldn't ever be made today. Even s3 onward dropped the quality because they brought in a bunch of teenagers to write the show (the teenagers that fantasize about this shit and are in positions to get hired by c4 for tv are not the teenagers that actually live this shit, nor are they good writers)

s7 was decent too, but it was a completely different show.

that's sad
maybe it's sadder to watch this show and aspire to imitate it though

We all wish were were Cook
>Top shagger
>Hard as fuck
>Extreme extrovert

Finally saw Cassie's tits this year. Long wait but worth it

The most normalfag series ever. It was awful.

Being Cooke actually isn't that difficult, same as being Chad isn't actually that hard.
The thing is, it involves sellling yourself out in a way most people can't manage. You might think you'd like to live like that but you wouldn't really. You're constantly acting like a twat but have to pretend not to be self-aware. You can't show any vulnerability. And you have to hit on so many girls and get publicly rejected so many times and somehow laugh it off and act like you haven't lost all of your dignity.
People don't want to do that. People want to be themselves and still achieve everything Chad gets at the top of his game, ignoring all the shit he doesn't get.

Went to college in UK while this aired: that's actually how IRL was, just less dramatized.

Misfits was a more accurate portrayal of how things were, minus the "random people with super powers" thing.

but she's fat now

>Misfits was a more accurate portrayal of how things were
don't care, boomer. this thread is for /cass/ posting.

oh wow

OOH BABY BABY IT'S A WILD WORLD

fun show. i had that song from the 9/11 musical ep stuck in my head forever.

THEN CAME THE DAY OSAMA BLEW US AWAY
(OSAMA BLEW US AWAAAAAY)

Fuck, this show was such kino.
I wanted to be in my school's drama production just cause of that scene. But so did everyone and they ended up cancelling the show for whatever reason...

lel i forgot about this song.

but he did
he was the fag right?

The lisping twink fag. Don't think he ever got an episode dedicated just to him.

>How did they manage to make it so fun and melancholic at the same time?
and how did they manage to make it appeal to every audience. older, younger, tumblr, Yea Forums. this show is unironically peak kino.

None of these people are "hard". This is a show made by and for middle class fops.

I never smoked. I never took drugs. I never drink alcohol. I never had sex. I'm 29. Ask me anything.

What's the point of living such hell?

>he didn't see the episode where cook went to jail

Pretty sure he did. Because in s2 Sket (or whatever her name was) was obsessed with him. Isn't the 9/11 musical episode his episode?

Yeah but it was her episode rather than his. It's even called Sketch.

>dedicated just to him
thats true, he got one with Anwar though and it's pretty great

this show was garbage

you're a faggot OP

I'm too angry to kill myself. I wouldnt want people to feel sorry for my parents or siblings instead of feeling sorry for me.

I watched the pilot out of curiosity, not bad, pretty fun even. What surprised me was when glasses kid's dad was shouting at him to get up off-screen and I immediately recognised his voice as Capaldi. That made me inordinately happy. Does he figure a lot in the show? I just might watch for him

>wow!

he's not in a ton iirc but he does play a pivotal role in the story

What,if anything, of interest would you have to say?

Never got his own solo titles ep, always shared

smoke, take drugs, drink alcohol, and have sex

Skins was odd. Was 16-17 and hanging around college green in Bristol when it aired; went to a Skins party. All initially thought it was shit but watched it religiously, then turned on the first cast reboot.
The show itself is a bit of a mess and written by committee but I'll love it forever. Felt like someone made a stupid, exaggerated version of our actual lives.

Nothing.

>smoke
No
>take drugs
No
>drink alcohol
No
>have sex
I would if it was available to me

i didn't watch it because it looked fucking awful but is euphoria anything like skins?

Skins is way better

no

euphoria is more like 13 reasons why

you're fucking retarded. skins sucks cock and is not comparable to euphoria

Why was everything about Frankie so fucking horrible to watch (except, you know...)?

Couldn't even bring myself to finish seasons 5 & 6.

Any ragrets?

>she finally showed her tits last week
fucking glorious

Nothing but regrets desu. As i said only reason I havent killed myself is that I don't want people to feel sorry for my parents and siblings instead of feeling sorry for me.

The last gen legit puzzled me. When the premier of their last season came on the characters (specifically Frankie) were entirely inexplicably different. Just weird and bad writing on so many levels

Shirtless boy, boy with glasses and boy in green shirt are relentlessly handsome. I want to kiss them relentlessly.

first two seasons are so fucking kino, literally the only teen drama that I liked

peak comfy millenial kino

You need to find a purpose and before you say you don’t have one I can pretty much guarantee that you do. Don’t dwell on what you feel might’ve been had you indulged more in your youth and focus on something even just one thing that’ll make you happy/fulfilled today and continually try to build upon that activity/feeling.

Sorry, WHAT? Google is giving me nothing!

If you really want to kill yourself don't think about what others feel, you may actually make them feel better by not existing anymore
just make a suicidal note where you say that you hate everyone or something like that so they don't feel that bad

I'm not interested in anything.

are you muslim or just a nerd

>you may actually make them feel better by not existing anymore
Fuck that. Thats literally the exact opposite of what I want. I want everyone to feel as terrible as possible.

truth

I'm white I'm actually not nerdy. I work in HR and can talk with people easily but I still dislike them. They like me though. My last job all the women in the office got me gifts when I left.

but why do you care about that? you're going to be dead ffs you will never know how they will feel

I will die furious if I know my death didnt have maximum impact.

Just go out and fuck a mid 30's woman if all you care about is sex.

make some friends user, even if it's just on a chatroom at first or some shit. the world isn't so bad if you get off your stoop of self loathing

>tfw been here long enough to remember Yea Forums when this was airing
>tfw been here long enough to see Yea Forums pass from absolutely trshing this show to calling it "peak kino"
I liked it though.

I don't really care about sex though.

>I don't really care about sex though.
>I would if it was available to me
ok, stop whinging then

I've been like this my whole life though... I'm not an edgelord as I pretend to get along with people everyday and I'm always nice to everyone but secretly I find everyone very annoying including my parents and siblings and co workers and friends.

You think you’re not interested in anything but only because you’re probably just stuck in that rut where nothing sounds appealing/interesting to you. This is where faking it until you make it comes into play. Force yourself to get into something until you get good at it. Having something/anything to take pride in can make a huge difference on your overall outlook

>but secretly I find everyone very annoying including my parents and siblings and co workers and friends.
That's how everyone feels.

Seconding this. What the fuck? Pls provide proof

But I'm nearly 30 and have felt this way my entire life..... I never like anything as a child or teenager either. The teachers were always annoyed how I refused to take part in art, music or sports.

He also shares S2E1 with Tony.

I remember finding this show and wandering why the hell Yea Forums hadn't told me earlier about it. Not a britbong so I think I found it randomly after watching Misfits. Season 1 was the strongest and the scene with the screaming electric song when Syd finds his dead dad was fucking kino.

You browse Yea Forums, do you like movies? That’s a start.

The faggot was best boy

It was a unique show; some gash writing but executed in an interesting way.

If, as a teenager, you related to the lifestyles depicted, or you let it influence your lifestyle in any way, you were probably middle class. Having visited it a year or so ago, Brighton seems to be permanently stuck in Skins mode.

Shameless, for the first few seasons at least, was true working class kino.

>game of thrones star
>star
i don't even remember what her character's name was. she was irrelevant

the girl with the blond hair was my waifu when i was a kid

First season was kino. Then it became more and more like Degrassi in the US where there was some incredibly melodramatic life-ruining event happening to these teenagers every day. I watched S3-4 because Effy was hot but boy was it fucking terrible.

Its not really something I like but rather something I just do to pass time.
