I'm very late to get on the Slide train. I don't have Foxtel so i was not able to watch it when it was on but i read something about it and it seemed alright. I bought the series on DVD last week and i was really surprised. It is an Australian 'Skins' but it worked. I was not sure after the first two episodes but by episode 3 i was completely hooked and loving every bit of it.
A huge draw card for me was the absolute gorgeousness that is Brenton Thwaites as Luke. He is extremely attractive and was automatically my favourite character. But as the show progressed i found myself really enjoying every character. Scarlett (Emily Iris Robins) was so unlikeable in the first episode but as the show went on she really grew on me and was very funny. A bitchy rich character is a standard necessity for any teen show. Eva (Adele Perovic) the punk chick was another character that grew to become a staple. I'd even go to say she was a little under used because she was very likable. Tammy (Gracie Gilbert) is so pretty, while her character could sometimes be too uptight i really wanted her to end up with Luke. The nerd gets the cool guy, classic story. Ed (Ben Schumann) was the rock of the group and seemed to almost be the main character. A very well acted character but he became extremely annoying toward the end and i was really just living for the love story between Tammy and Luke.
I thought the show very well written and acted. I had to binge watch the series because i couldn't stop watching. Upon finishing the series i have major post Slide depression. I'm actually devastated that the show was not renewed for a second season but out of every bad thing comes a good thing and it seems like all the main characters are still getting steady work which is great. Wish they had a 20 episode series and filmed it all in the one go and even ended it just so we could get a bit more closure. Anyway! Watch it! Although i warn you, you will be depressed when it finishes.
