Skins Series 2 (2008)

**Contains spoilers if you haven’t seen series 2.

It started out ok. Too much Maxxie though. And then, series 2 reached its peaked in Chris’s episode (Chris/Jal!)… And it all came tumbling down after that episode.

In short, series two was a major disappointment.

It was too dramatic and sad. They didn’t have to kill him! Anwar didn’t have a single episode so I didn’t really pity him in the final episode. I was more concerned with Sketch. And Cassie in New York? I think the creators just wanted an excuse to go the US. However, I firmly believe that Sid found Cassie. Just like in the finale of the first series. They’re my favorite pairing, even if their relationship was totally blah this season. And I absolutely loathed Michelle. Ick.

Overall, I only liked the following episodes: Sketch, Chris, Effy and some parts of the finale. The others were so-so. Oh and I LOVED the Skinscast!! I always look forward to it.

I still want to buy the DVD though. Of course!!!!! I still love the characters and the show, despite the disappointing season. I will miss this cast :( I’m not too crazy with the idea of a new cast, but they can’t really play the same roles forever. Other teen shows crash and burn because some viewers lose interest. It’s usually the same problems all over again, season after season. Diminishing marginal utility!!

ANYWAY: HELP! Do you know anyone who is planning a trip to UK anytime soon? Shipping will cost a LOT if ever I plan to have it shipped here or in the US.
