Skins Review: "Eura" (Episode 1.10)

By Wyndham Wyeth at 2:00 PM on March 23, 2011

The Skins finale was at best anti-climactic, and at worst, a disappointing waste of time and possibilities. “Eura” would have been more appropriately titled “Everyone,” as the season finale of the U.K. version was. The primary plot of the episode dealt with wrapping up the individual story arcs of the characters, as well as the collective story about teenage kids growing up in modern-day America — or rather, a show about teenage kids growing up in modern-day Britain redressed with Canadian and American actors and an American setting (despite being filmed in Canada)....  read more

Skins Review: "Daisy" (Episode 1.08)

By Wyndham Wyeth at 4:00 PM on March 8, 2011

Unfortunately, Skins does not seem to be moving towards the strong finish I had hoped for. Now, with only two episodes left in the season, this week’s “Daisy” was yet another thoroughly uninteresting episode in a season full of uninteresting episodes, a few atrocious ones and only a couple of brilliant moments....  read more

Every time it seems like Skins is down for the count, the show manages get up for another round. However, the series is just barely hanging in there. In this week’s episode, Michelle finally realizes what a piece of shit Tony actually is....  read more

Skins Review: "Stanley" (Episode 1.05)

By Wyndham Wyeth at 3:16 PM on February 16, 2011

This week’s episode of Skins was easily a step up from last week’s “Cadie,” the worst episode thus far. With “Stanley,” the premiere season has reached its midway point, but the show is still on shaky ground....  read more

Skins Review: "Cadie" (Episode 1.04)

By Wyndham Wyeth at 4:19 PM on February 9, 2011

Skins took another dip down with the fourth episode “Cadie.” So far, the series has been struggling to really find it’s footing. The premiere episode was pretty disappointing, but one week later the show showed a wealth of potential with a character unique to the American version. Last week’s episode “Chris” was pretty much a a rehash of its British counterpart, but still managed to remain fresh and entertaining. However, it seems that Skins has slipped once again in the most recent episode about an emotionally-damaged young girl and her struggle to find a place in the world....  read more

Skins Review: "Chris" (Episode 1.03)

By Wyndham Wyeth at 8:39 AM on February 2, 2011

“Chris” may have been a better story than last week's episode, but didn't really give the audience anything they hadn’t seen before. The episode plays out a lot like Chris’s introductory chapter in the original British version of the show, but unlike the premiere, this rehash doesn’t feel like a rehash.  read more

Skins Review: "Tea" (Episode 1.02)

By Wyndham Wyeth at 5:32 PM on January 25, 2011

Pushing through the storm of criticism, Skins also continues to push the envelope with a second episode as unyielding as the premiere. Focusing on the American incarnation’s most interesting character Tea, the show’s lesbian lead, we witness the life of a young girl who wants nothing more than to understand her place in the world....  read more
