Effy is probably the worst character, but its crazy because Effy from the first generation and the Effy from the second one, are completely different characters, at leasts from a psychological point of view, second Effy is hatred, first one is lovely.
I remember being fascinated by Effy. Now I can see how emotionally stunted she was, and still is in her later episodes from season 7. Great acting from Kaya Scodelario!
I feel like most of us would’ve never been able to handle all the mental baggage that all the characters went through. No wonder most of us went rogue and were either full hardcore and outgoing, or decided to stay super conservative and isolated out of safety.
@@ComaLies225 The 2nd half of all the gens are always the worst. The 1st half makes you wanna do all the impulsive shit and fantasy kinda stuff that the characters get into. I got into the series in middle school and pretty much carried it with me into uni, so I’m not sure if that’s troublesome hahaha
@@isnowyazn haha I think it just depends on the person. I was always pretty conservative but didn’t really go all out up until my mid twenties. I don’t regret it but I see why it’s fun 😉😉
i have and i know people who have had it way worse. trust me this is nothing compared to the real life problems some people go thru. there are kids who go thru wars, being raped, cancer. i’ve seen it all, yes their lives were crazy asf and i wouldn’t wish it upon anyone but it’s definitely possible to get thru it. besides freddie dying 😭
Dont get the Euphoria hate firstly while both are high school shows one feels a lot more like colleage age stuff then the other and why do we have to compare the two. Why can't both shows be good. I like Skins more but both are good.
@@mitjamackenzie1219 i dislike euphoria exactly because it pretty much glamourises and romanticises drugs, sex work and toxic relationships. i mean it probably doesn’t influence those who are mature enough, but euphoria is so hyped up that early teens watch it and think wow how aesthetic. skins is a more sincere thing in my opinion, also it represents all the destructive things without the “glam effect”. however i don’t judge your tastes and understand you can like euphoria
@@tiddies2859 shows and movies like Euphoria and Trainspotting don't pull any punches when they _punish_ their characters for the bad decisions they make... other than Nate, I suppose, and it's not like the narrative doesn't make it crystal clear to most people that he's an awful person (and it's not like he's _happy_ either). let's be real, there's _just as much_ drug use in Skins as there is in Euphoria... i honestly couldn't make it through the second generation bc Cook looked so much like my baby brother did back then, and his story line was too dark and tragic and i just saw my brother.. so idk how the drug dependence plot actually culminates in Skins Gen 2. but the darkest parts abt Gen 1 that i remember aren't actually _direct consequences_ of drug dependence the way it is in Euphoria. and I'm aware that there's no one as dark and irredeemable as Nate in Skins, but Nate is a pretty good _cautionary tale_ abt how far ab usive relationships can go irl! idk that the fandom sees what he does and ships him with _anyone_ (and imo, neither does the narrative. he's framed as _dangerous,_ even if he's beautiful - not unlike opiates.. it's almost like there's a thematic through line?)
It's not just how pretty she is, it's how she is quietly oozing confidence as well. You'll be surprised how many people are drawn to that persona. But, I do agree with you. She should have been disliked.
Imagine if they never meet Effy, freddy would be alive and Cook didn't have to kill anyone and he might live a better life than what we see in season 7.... 2023 Update : I don't why I blame Effy here lol it is not her fault and shit happened 😂
@@myleemann6961 have u seen the show? the father is the reason both effy and tony have mental issues….. if you don’t see that in a fictional universe, maybe you don’t see it in rl as well….
I grew up with this show. The series are compelling(1-4 season), in every character you can find a piece that resemble some situation, emotion that you came across or felt in teen life. Nostalgia, i need to re-watch this show again, good old days...
So weird that because of Effy Freddie ends up murdered and Cook ends up on a murder spree and on the run...how lighthearted this show always begins before going dark!
Oh I rememeber the days trying to watch this series on E4, having to watch like 10 minute adverts 😂 Kids these days have netflix and wouldn't understand. All jokes aside, season 1-4 was something else. So raw, emotional and unique. The theme tune alone creates such nostalgia.
I wanted to be Effy so bad in high school omg. I had a crush on this guy who looked EXACTLY like Freddie so it was perfect 😆 He watched Skins too so he knew who Effy was. We went on a school trip to Cambridge and London, and while we were there I said "I'm Effy" and he said he was Freddie. I literally DIED.
@@THE-BUNKEN-DRUMyep. And we don’t have a replacement word that I’m aware of, something to take the place of meaning without exaggeration, as written/spoken, not figuratively but actually.
i tried watching skins bc everyone's saying it's so good but i couldn't even get through the first episode it was really cringy and stereotypical. and the main guy was disgusting to me lmao
Me too I got through the first season but it was just so...weird It felt like they were romantizing everything And based on the comments that say they wanted to be them that's at least a little bit true
I feel like skins so much born out of British 2000s culture that is sooooooooo 2000s Britain it doesn’t work for anyone who wasn’t young/in Britain then........ like I’m not saying it’s good and I think I’d hate it now but it really captured that moment in time
Such an iconic scene! I love Effy's character but y'all have to remember that she clearly sold herself for a list :') I've always thought it was a twisted move.
I watch this way before I got into secondary school and she taught me among others how to be so confident and sexy and I actually always got who I wanted 😂
I met this one girl, and she is literally getting me killed one day… so much of an impact she had that it’s that way even though I don’t even speak to her anymore
Me and my sister used to binge this show together we were absolutely in love with it since it represents how messed up our lifes are as well its way too similar to our lifes thats why i got so easily attached to it here i am years later still waiting on a new season lmao
"She's not looking at you J.J." Yep, that one line pretty much represents my teenage life, lol.

Why you say that?

And they casted the perfect actress for Effy. My goodness she is beautiful!
