Skam NL Season 2: a character analysis

Liv: lowkey looks like Olivia Puckett, highkey does not. They actually continued the artist storyline huh 

Noah: artist™

Isa: has joined the chat

Engel: Deserves the world, but the world doesn’t deserve her. 

Ralph: I can’t decide if he’s Eskild turned up or toned down. That singing thooo

Esra: Imaan's replacement. Actually amazing though. Would die for. Linn, if Linn wasn’t depressed and was a Muslim. So nothing like Linn at all actually. 

Janna: still the baddest bitch of them all and she knows it 

Imaan: has left the chat

Lucas: only here to remind you that he exists before season 3. Fuckboi™. The seeds for his season has been planted very well though. It’s been handled differently than the OG one which means that season 3 can be interesting and maybe even allows to be a little different. 

Kes: hat™. Still the worst™. Seriously hope he will have a Jonas transformation and become an angel in season 3. 

Jayden: They gave him more screentime. Iconic™

Gijs: Reduced to a namedrop 

Willem: actually has a really nice English accent. Reminds me a bit of Isak’s dad. 

Morris: doesn’t deserve such a beautiful name. He shall now be called Moist because absolutely no one likes that word.  

Marie: “Hi babe™” would marry in an instance. 

Benny: exists. Knows Eskild™

Eskild: Saved my 2019 !!! Iconic™

alt.

So if he’s here, does that mean that all the Skam universes are connected? Or at the very least OG SKAM and SKAM NL, which means that the same storyline, or at the very least very similar storyline place out in different countries, at different but very close, times, with characters who are so similar it should not be allowed ??? Don’t get me wrong, I love that he was there buuuuuuut .... IM ALSO SO CONFUSED. AMERICA EXPLAIN !!!

The other weeks there were people doing rankings of actors in the different DEH roles and i really want to hear YOUR rankings and reasons

Tysm for asking! I’m gonna try to keep these brief-ish so this doesn’t clog up everyone’s dashes but if you want me to elaborate on any performer/character/ranking/whatever definitely feel free to ask!

I’m also keeping this to the teens btw because my opinions on the adults are fairly straightforward but idk, feel free to ask about that if you want to

Evan

Michael Lee Brown - i mean you Knew. He’s literally my url. MLB just IS Evan for me and has been since I first heard his Evan debut audio. I was just becoming friends with alix when that audio came out and I messaged her like UHHHHH I HAVE A NEW FAVORITE EVAN? and the rest is history.

Stephen Christopher Anthony - that audio shook me to my fucking core and reminded me why and how much i love this show in the first place. He also plays the role very similarly to MLB so that helps, and his vocals are absolutely fucking STUNNING. Vocally he’s honestly the best Evan of all time.

Ben Platt - I mean homeboy won a Tony for this role and originated the dang thing he’s P Great also i always forget that i??? Saw him??? The first time I saw the show???? So that was dope 

Noah Galvin - Unpopular opinion apparently but I LOVED Noah’s Evan, he made such different and interesting and FUN choices and he in particular played beautifully off of Zoe

Colton Ryan - god i miss Colton tbh, he’s a Sweet Boy

Taylor Trensch - nottttttttttttttttt my fave…

Ben Levi Ross - very similar to Taylor’s Evan and vocally a bit weak in spots unfortunately, though that was only the first audio of his Evan and I think once he’s settled into the role on the tour there’s potential for him to be great because I DO think he’s VERY talented 

Zoe

Laura Dreyfuss - I just absolutely adore Laura and her Zoe is so complicated and flawed and weird, she’s funny and dry and sweet and sincere and ANGRY all at once, and she’s so genuine and authentic, plus her voice is amazing. 

Mallory Bechtel - HOOOOOOOO I only just heard audio of Mallory’s Zoe the other day but FUCK. Her Requiem had me in tears like SECONDS in and she’s so sweet in the initial Zoe/Evan interaction in WTAW. Also she’s ADORABLE. 

Olivia Puckett - There are parts of Olivia’s Zoe that I like a lot, and I actually really enjoyed her interactions with Evan on the Stephen/Evan audio, but overall her Zoe is a bit…hard? Imo? Like what i love about Laura is she’s really sharp and dry and angry but ALSO has that softness to her in places and I’d love to see Olivia bring out a little more of that.

Jared

Will Roland - look, sorry, but Will is always gonna be Jared like it’s a role that’s so iconically tied up with him. You read those lines on the page and you HEAR his delivery of them. He’s brilliant as both a comedic and dramatic actor and he made me laugh and cry so much. 

Sky Lakota-Lynch - THAT SAID SKY IS A CLOSE SECOND WOW. He’s SO funny and has done such a great job of taking a role Will made so memorable and making it his own. His LAUGHTER in Sincerely Me and Sincerely Me (reprise) makes me YELL and UHHHHHH holy shit the way he does the GFY scene…….fucks me up.

Michael Lee Brown - A SWEET BOY i really love the way it’s SO obvious his jared is insecure and putting up a front, it’s great and also sad

Nick Sacks - #bringbackNick but yeah wow i love this very soft and very defensive jared

Colton Ryan - At times Colton’s Jared is a Little too hard and sharp for me, just a little Too real about the lines that cut deep, but he’s also VEEEERY soft in places and just overall is very good

Ben Levi Ross - some of his deliveries are VERY funny (his INCREDIBLY serious “there is NOTHING unrealistic” still KILLS me) but overall kinda like Colton I find him a bit sharp and struggling to find that balance of being a LOVABLE dick and not just a dick

Connor

Mike Faist - my absolute fucking boy. Mike put so much into a character with so little Actual text and made him SO interesting and nuanced. I mean, for fuck’s sake, he got nominated for a Tony for a role that is only Technically Actually Alive onstage for about 10 minutes. He did such an incredible job separating Actual Connor and Fake Connor and he cared SO fucking much about Connor and put his all into the character. Also the choice to grow his hair out? Legendary

Alex Boniello - the moment this casting was announced I lost my MIND because I have adored Alex since DWSA, and god he’s made Connor his own in the best possible way and has so much care and love for Connor and for the show. Also his vocals are stunning. 

Ben Levi Ross - HOOOO it makes me so sad that we’ll never get Ben!Connor again because he’s so wonderful, scared and small and defensive and so much more than just The Emo Kid. He brought a lot to the role, plus Ben is younger and smaller than a lot of the rest of the cast which makes him physically a VERY devastating Connor

Michael Lee Brown - honestly I could say a lot about how complex and wonderful his Connor is but TRULY the best part of his Connor is the vibrato he puts on the word “nipples” like wow 10/10 iconic

Colton Ryan - i fucking LOVE Colton’s Connor but I don’t actually have a complete audio of him (only act 2 + sincerely me) and it’s hard to judge a connor when you have no record of the scenes where he’s Actually Connor. still, i LOOOVED what i heard, his “did you fall” scene fucked me up.

Alana

Phoenix Best - she really IS the best. I love Phoenix’s Alana because she’s so young and good and spacey but also so emotional and real, her GFY scene is SOOO great. Also she’s SOOO CUTE. 

Olivia Puckett - honestly a VERY close second to Phoenix, before I had Phoenix audio she WAS my fave Alana. I love her interpretation of the role and the total obliviousness with which she delivered her lines. Imo alana’s only funny when she has NO idea how funny she is, and her “that was the beginning of the end they said because then she died” made me SCREAM. Also olivia beautiful wow

Kristolyn Lloyd - also wonderful of course, I just struggled a little with how COMICALLY OVERLY SERIOUS she often played Alana because it’s so easy to veer into being cartoonish with her and i think it makes her more annoying than funny 

anyway, those are my onions, im sure i forgot someone somewhere but i did my best and I’m sorry this is twenty years long, i tried to limit myself to one line per person but that…obviously didn’t happen
