So after watching this episode with tears in my eyes, I had to come on IMDb to see what kind of reviews had been written for this series or specifically this episode. Only to find no written reviews existed! How?
I watched Skins way back when it first aired, whilst I myself was in high school/6th form. I was a huge fan of the first four series' and was disappointed no characters would return, so I tried watching series 5, only to be filled with bitter disappointment. So I skipped series 5 & 6, and just gave up with the show all together. A few years pass and Skins comes back with 3 two part specials, to which I thoroughly enjoyed. However it wasn't until only two nights ago, I decided to give Series 5 a second chance. I'm so glad I did because I've binged all the episodes, up until this one and have fallen in love with the writing again and these new characters. You can tell it's an old show because the mobile phones they use, are very outdated but these series' are still incredibly relevant in today's society. This episode was particularly special and because I don't want to give anything away, I would suggest watching all episodes with these characters because they really are brilliant!
