Growing up, one season at a time
Skins built the one structural idea teen TV always needed: nobody stays past their expiry date, including the show itself.
Cancelled in 1995, still the most honest teen drama made. Nothing since has quite matched its interiority.
A comedy that takes adolescent anxiety seriously without ever punishing a character for it.
A show about being on the wrong rung of a social ladder, with almost no wish fulfilment in it.
Half-hour episodes about school, friendship and the small humiliations of being sixteen, with checkpoints in the background.
