Parents say 17 Kids say Adult Written by Sadman December 24, Explicitness sabotages the message Although most people talk a good game, the primary reason why people watched this show was for the sex scenes that often depict under characters and include nudity.
As far as I'm aware the actors were all over 18 which is why they were able to get away with it and why you can buy it on DVD in North America. The show tries to get a lot of strong messaging out and depicting things "as they really are", and they managed to get some top-line future and current talent to appear in it, but the show is simply too explicit for its own good.
Sex scenes are unnecessary in most storytelling outside of erotica and explicit sex scenes which Skins crosses over into more than once are never necessary outside of erotica. I wanted to give the show a chance especially after it got such glowing reviews from of all people the man who brought Doctor Who back to TV. And I knew it was an edgy show. But ultimately, its explicitness sabotages whatever message it's trying to deliver and it also makes it unacceptable viewing for not only its target demographic but even many of the adults it seeks to enlighten or, rather, it attracts said viewers for the wrong reasons.
It's possible a censored version of the series exists because the reviewer talks about body parts being blurred out and the F-word being muted. I saw nothing to suggest this in the DVD version I viewed. This title contains: Sexy stuff. This review Helped me decide 1. Had useful details 1. Read my mind. Report this review. Adult Written by magbens9 December 15, Great show! I began watching this show as a Sophomore in high school and I honestly think that it was very educational in that it showed complications of drug use, diversity, struggles with mental illnesses and a variety of very real and very realistic things that the average teen will come across as they grow up This title contains: Positive Messages.
Had useful details. Read my mind 1. Adult Written by kayab2 September 29, Amazing show, NOT for young teens! I'm going to have to disagree with some of the "kid" reviews on this site here. Yes, Skins UK is a decently written and gripping drama centered around teenagers, but that doesn't change the excessive adult content present. This is not to say that drug use, suicide awareness and nudity in itself make or break a show, the issue is the fact that the actors are all portraying teenagers as young as about In making the decision to watch Skins, consider how these topics may be triggering for younger audiences, or even some adults.

Skins changed all that. It first aired 10 years ago today, and it took the radical step of considering what young viewers might want and aspire to by actually thinking about and consulting young viewers.
It told the story of a group of mates in Bristol who were leaving school, who slept with each other, went to parties, drank a lot, smoked weed, and talked like the kids they were.
They were exaggerated and comic, but believable nonetheless: the characters were dealing with losing their virginity, eating disorders, school trips, sexuality, divorce, friendships, and not feeling good enough for your peers.
The actors were largely the age of the characters they played and the writers were not much older, which explains why it frequently felt alienating to anyone over the age of It was smart enough to add to the fantasy by turning all of the parents into feckless idiots with no idea what their kids were up to, because they were so consumed by the dramas of their own making.
