No idea what other watchers were expecting

This is a well-written and well-acted two arc story that perfectly captures what we might expect as Effy ages and enters the work force. Funny, sad, ironic - all of the attributes of the original series. Effy is consistently flawed as we are all are. Great act of closure for a brilliant series and the actress playing Effy is brilliant as always. You didn't like skins then you won't like this - but if you did like skins then this offers a brilliant closure. Honi soit qui mal y pense. And if you don't get that then you may not be smart enough to get this character arc.
