SKAM Austin

Mostly don't like remakes and this time my distaste is justified.

The plots are weak and the characters are over-acted (and really badly I may add) like most American remakes. This version exhibits none of the innocence, subtlety or nuance of the original. It comes across as loud and in your face. In other words, very American. Bitterly disappointing!

If you have watched and loved the original like I have, don't bother with this. It could only lower your opinion of the Skam concept and image. Rather re-watch the original and savour its brilliance.

The reason for the one star is down to the fact that EVERY other version of this amazing tv show around the world has a male gay couple but typical american network had to completely screw this up and instead change it to a female couple just like they did with skins tv show as well. why do they have to mess around with good shows. i'm not against all female couples but when you make a big change like this then its no longer the same show so why bother i don't see the point, you should just create a separate spinoff.

I thought it was pretty dank, especially the parts with the cool cars. That was dank af.

I really wish they would've stuck to the original story line and characters. These characters are so bland and flat, the acting is really bad and the actors look like 30 year olds. So cliche and exaggerated, the original is so much more subtle, this feel very into your face. Avoid this and just watch the original.

This show is definitely one of the best remakes of the Skam universe
