how awful was tonights episode.....

I know that katkouta. Tom Harper is a writer on Skins apparently, boy did it show .

The stark difference in tone and quality of the first 2 episodes compared to the last 2 means it will always be a imbalanced series to me and slightly disappointing because of it.

But the last 2 episodes have been mind blowing. I was almost shaking with tears and shock last night during the scene with Lol and her dad.

I also bawled when Combo and Shaun went to Combo's Mum's and had that conversation and hug and you could see the tears in Thomas Turgoose's eyes .

Powerful stuff.

loved it they could make a series out of it didn't want it to end

really wish the first two episodes hadn't happened. Two shitty knockabout skins-esque episodes.

Would echo above comments about it being the best piece of TV I've ever seen. Truly gripping, harrowing and just so real. Superb acting by almost all of the cast - true British talent there. Hope to see Vicky McClure (Lol) in future programmes/films.

Stephen Graham is outstanding. From my neck of the woods too :)

Watched the final episode last night.

Agree with some of the others comments. I too was shaking at 'that' scene and crying out , I just could not help it. Have never been affected by TV in quite that way.

I thought lol's acting was really wooden in the 1st 3 ep's but she was amazing in the final one.

Completely harrowing but so good.
