In case you haven’t heard, 2000s sleaze is back, which is probably why you might’ve seen the British teen series Skins make a comeback in pop culture. When it premiered in the UK back in ’07, Skins made waves for its bold, uncensored, and realistic depiction of youth; unlike its American counterparts, the show had a no-holds-barred approach to sex, drugs, mental illnesses, abuse, and bullying. Now it’s a cult classic, known just as much for its subject matter as for the careers it launched into stardom (the cast reads like a who’s who of today’s most famous British actors: Nicholas Hoult, Daniel Kaluuya, Dev Patel…)
In the US, you can only watch Skins on Hulu. But elsewhere, including the UK, all seven seasons of Skins are very much available on Netflix. If you want to use your Netflix account to watch the show, you’ll need a VPN to “switch countries” or change your current location to one of the countries listed below to access their Skins-carrying Netflix library.
