The concept of Druck (Skam) is simply genius, small clips are broadcasted at the exact same time the character are living it. It is very immersive and addictive! Season S6 has overtaken everything with Fatou Jallow, a proud out lesbian, who will face normal teenager issues and heart breaks. The representation is extraordinary (and I'm weighted my word) with a sapphic relationship treated and handled as 2 persons falling in love independently of their genders or sexual orientations. It's refreshing and this kind of representation should be a standard.

In my opinion, Druck offers a less "pretty" approach to the original. The characters are more rugged and realistic, without trying to artificially create this environment. The music choices are great, the story is well told and although kept within the boundaries of the Norwegian original, creates and immersive and unique experience. Especially with season 3, Druck plays itself not just as a worthy successor, but a great stand-alone.

The transgender representation is unmatched. Trans actors play trans characters and help write the scenes in which characters explore or talk about their identity.

There is also poc rep, actors with different body types, wlw and mlm relationships, multiple interracial relationships, and more.

This show is my all-time favorite due to its representation, incredible cinematography and writing, and its courage when it comes to portraying the reality of young people's lives today. It is outstanding.

This show represents many diffrent teenages and thier own internal struggle, whether its about families, values, friendship or thier conflict with society's ideals and thier mental heatlh. This show connects to teenagers of this generation and thier hopes. Would recomment for 14+

Season 3 and 7 have a special place in my heart as do Season 2,4,5,6.
