More Effy's episode than Freddie's
2 March 2010 | by (Italy) – See all my reviews

After the magnificent last episode, I was a little disappointed by this one, that, nevertheless, was interesting and deserving. Although it was meant to concentrate on Freddie (maybe the weakest character in the group), I felt everything was pointed on Effy and Freddie wasn't given that much as I had hoped, but well, that's my humble opinion. Now I'm feeling strange writing this comment, because I still have to metabolize what I've seen, which was in many ways different from the usual Skins, talking about directing style (a lot of hand-held camera and slant frames) and themes developed, I've never thought Skins could face such serious issues. All in all, I'm waiting Effy's episode hoping some things will be cleared enough.
