Skins is a teen drama on the E4, a digital television channel in the UK, that follows a group of teenagers as they go through “sixth form,” or the final two years of secondary schooling in South West England.
Quite different from our American teen dramas, Skins tackles controversial issues such as homosexuality, narcissism, dysfunctional families, absent parents, personality disorders, post traumatic stress, substance abuse, anorexia, underage sex, teenage pregnancy, sexual abuse, autism, and death head on.
Series 3 in particular was of interest to me as it followed a very well-written and well-acted lesbian storyline between Emily and Naomi. It was everything us lesbians love to watch: confusion, flirting, sex, jealousy, and finally a happy ending! (Something we aren’t used to experiencing with lesbian storylines in general.)
I’ve included a trailer below to get you hooked…
Then, here’s the link to all 17 parts of the Emily and Naomi storyline. Enjoy and feel free to comment as always!!

Series 4 started filming in July of 2009 and will have the same cast as Series 3 plus a few additions. We shall see where they take Emily and Naomi next! Are you excited??
CHECK IT OUT — just found a mash-up trailer for Series 4 — season starts in January 2010!
Lots of action with “Naomily”
