Notes

Anthology-style series with crossover and recurring characters, with each episode focusing on one character or a romantic pairing. Cast members rarely stayed more than a couple of seasons. Each set of cast members is referred to as a "generation" by the show and fans.

Simultaneously praised and criticised for featuring explicit sexual content with nudity, drug use and violence in a series promoted at young viewers.

After the initial seasons were aired on BBC America in censored form to high ratings, an American adaptation of the series (primarily consisting of Americanized remakes of the UK episodes, with sexual content toned down) aired for a single season in 2010-2011.

Spin-off: Unseen Skins, a series of online mini-episodes featuring characters from the show.

Comments and Reviews

23skidoo 18th Oct 2015		To prevent the cast list from reaching SNL proportions I chose names based on the Wikipedia cast list which indicates how many episodes focused on them, giving the ones with the most focus episodes some priority, plus I included a few names that I recognize from other projects. If there's anyone key I missed (I've only seen the show a little bit) please feel free to add some. I had to add the "Adult" tag because this show is just as explicit if not more so than shows like Shameless and OITNB that are also tagged as being Adult shows, even though in this case the show was actually pitched for young viewers (which is why watchdogs chased it for its entire run and pretty much killed the US version while it was still in the starting gate).
