I always like reading AfterEllen's reviews. They're always spot on.

Autostraddle.com's recaps are the funniest though! If you haven't read them already, you should.

This is great where as last season i disliked Cook mainly because i didn't understand him and the things he did after re-watching last season and seeing this season i love him and understand why he is the way he is. A+ for the Harry Potter reference after ellen

I love this. I think if the Skins writers themselves were to read it, they'd be awed by how well this person grasps these characters.

If you are a person who has always been comfortable with the possessive nature of love - a girl with a crazy tight relationship with your sister, for example; or with parents who have been together for 20 years - it may be hard to understand Naomi's motivation for cheating. But if you are a person who grew up in a house of vagabonds, a person for whom self-reliance was the only option, you get how falling in love can be the scariest, most exhilarating, perfect, perfect, perfect, claustrophobic f--king thing.

Perfect. <3
