The second generation of Skins
begins in Series 3 of the show (and continues through Series 4). The show
details the lives of nine high school students as the make their way into
adulthood – be it preparing for college or facing life after school in the ‘real’
world. The show deals with love, happiness, depression, friendship, betrayal,
and just about everything young people deal with (all set to a great
soundtrack).
The second generation stars Kaya Scodelario
(who is also in a few episodes of the first
generation seasons, as she plays Tony’s younger sister Effy), Luke Pasqualino, Jack O’Connell, Ollie Barbieri, Kathryn Prescott, Megan Prescott, Lisa Backwell, Lily Loveless, and
Merveille Lukeba.
Giles Thomas, Klariza Clayton, John Bishop, and Chris Addison
feature in support.
Overall, the second generation
does not have the same star power as the first generation, and their stories do
not seem to quite connect as strongly – but, all that said, the second
generation still provides very entertaining and emotionally compelling material
and stories. Kaya Scodelario in particular is fantastic in the show (as are
Jack O’Connell and Lily Loveless, even if their characters can be annoying at
times). While this generation is not as vital as the first, it is still
must-see television for fans of teen dramas as again with these new characters
Skins is top notch.
