Derp!
Anyone watched the first of the final series of Skins? My feeling was the series lost it when they started this whole new generation every third season. Everyone expected the third & fourth series with Effy to be brilliant after her role as Tony's mildly psychotic little sister, but the rest of the cast bar Panda were rank. Fifth series & other than the fragile Frankie the rest were awful.
Now they've gone back to see what happened with the old cast for the finale, & there's Effy, Cassie, &, um, people I couldn't care less about. Even there in all honesty I'm only interested in what happened with Cassie, because her character was one of the few that was fully developed. In the first series I felt overwhelming sympathy for her, someone clearly mentally ill partly because she felt her family no longer care less about her since they got the new baby; by the second I despised her as utterly self-centred to the point of callousness.
They're right in pulling the plug, trouble is they should have done it after series 2 & left us with the happy thoughts of what might have been.
