Skins

Overview

Skins is a dark British drama about of a group of mostly self-destructive teenagers in Bristol, South West England. It’s unique in that the show devotes 2 episodes each to a single class with almost no crossover between them.

The 2nd group featured a lesbian relationship between Naomi and Emily (aka Naomily), which I think is one of the most powerful on TV.

Queer Plotline Timeline

Skins is divided into 3 classes of students, Naomi and Emily are in the second group – seasons 3 and 4. They also make an appearance in the final season, Season 7 “Skins Fire.” These seasons are independent of the others with an almost entirely different cast.
