Are you watching any skams meg atm?

Sorry it took a day or so to reply! And also for being a bit of a stranger recently

Yes! I’m enjoying Skam Espana and Amira. Some of the season is a little shaky for me but some is exceptional so I’m really enjoying it and Amira is such a beautiful, bold, mature and gorgeous soul. Plus, it was a decision and a half to make Dani into the love interest but I like it. I understand some people are unhappy and I get those reasons but, personally, I think that although it takes away some valuable stuff, it also adds a lot of intretesting stuff too that is a little fresher to the story and that’s always a good thing. Their chemistry is off the charts though and it’s all just incredibly sweet.

I am actually REALLY enjoying Druck. I wasn’t going to watch as I wasn’t always that connected to the original cast and new gens don’t tend to interest me as a concept but I really really like what they’re doing, Nora feels fresh and interesting. Already, she intrigued me and her story is something different so far. It’s absolutely baffling in terms of theme (in a good way) and direction and which people who keep cropping up will remain around her as the main group but I can see a few amazing prospects (football girl, Fatou etc) and I feel like she has huge main potential, is really easy to like despite so much going on... it feels like true Skam energy and I am really enjoying it so that’s a damn revelation! I find myself rooting for her so much when people are dicks to her and that’s the sign it’s working! I also see a LOT that I relate with from my teen years which has hit me in my heart a few times!

Wtfock. Jesus Christ the least said about it the better. What a major major shame. From s2/s3 (most of which I thought was bloody mesmerising and so well done) to wtfockdown which was a joy, so clever and so in tune with the characters to... this. It’s almost difficult to believe. No matter how you view where the season will go, it’s bad. Racism told through the eyes of a white girl dating a boy of colour? Potentially Autistic girl (such a rarity for tv) whose racism and other poor behaviour is explained away by her autism while v little other insight is given to her or her condition? No introspection, no depth, very sketchy storyline progression, poor writing, absolutely zero POV focus, an unlikeable main... the mind boggles?! Honestly, it’s episode 5 and absolutely nothing has happened of value and we know so little about this character and she is so painfully unlikeable because of how little time has been taken to establish her with the audience and how many things she has done to upset beloved characters and how the things that make her different aka dancing and social media are so underused and she, sadly, isn’t that great a dancer for that to be a real pull? All in all, it’s a damn shame they let the side down this season and it’s beggars belief. I just hope it doesn’t impact Yasmina’s season.

And missing Martino daily - ofc.
