Personally, I think this is going to come as a surprise but my favorite character is Rich. I honestly think he’s the kindest character in the whole show, he was loyal and a good friend. He even forgave the people who caused Gracie’s death. I also love rock music and am a guy so I relate a lot to Rich. Summarizing, I think there something to be admired about his character because he never crossed boundaries that most other characters did.

I love Cook, Tony and Effy too don’t get me wrong. They are stronger characters than Rich and that’s down to writing for the most part.

What’s your opinion?

Worse than sketch. That is all.

I just finished watching first 3 generations of skins. I took a long break after watching season 4 because I wasn’t into the idea of a completely new cast. Also I heard the bad reviews. Honestly I liked generation 3, certainly the weakest of the bunch but season stands up with the first 4.

My list of season in ranking would go 1, 3, 2, 4, 5, 6. I liked generation 1 the best. I loved Tony even though he was a tool and Maxxie and Anwar are hilarious. The power dynamic feels fresh and the love triangle between Tony, Michelle and Sid keeps you on edge wondering what is next. In terms of generation 1 as a whole I thought all the characters had something interesting about them besides Sketch.

Bridging the gap, Effy of course is great in the first 4 seasons. Season 3 is top notch as well. Cook and I hated the way season 4 ended obviously so rewatching the second half of the season is unlikely. I hate how she ends up in the mental hospital. I loved Cook, maybe a theme for liking the anti-hero with me. I thought Pandora was the only weak character in the season.

Generation 3 starts strong in my opinion. Season 5 is so good and I feel like that may be unpopular. Rich and Grace’s relationship is the best and finally the first faithful and normal relationship in the whole show. They had to ruin it and that’s where I think they messed up generation 3. I loved Nick but they made him a bum in a lot of regards. If they needed a death they should’ve chose Franky. She is the worst main character from the whole lot. She literally was partly to blame for Grace’s death, doesn’t own up to it. Her storyline is also extremely boring and I thought nobody could get worse than Sketch. To her credit, the writing was poor, she totally was a different person from season 5 to 6.

Overall I thought this was a great show and every season has it’s moments.

P.S. I know I know there is a season 7. I am excited to watch that next.
