Season five was okay but what it was missing was the emotional break down that tore you up inside and made you feel the characters pain. Like tony and michelles break up, maxie and anwar not being friends, chris's death, tony's accident, cassie going crazy, sid's dads death, nomily and their drama, effy and her craziness, panda and her sad love story, ect ect. every review made season five sound so good saying wait for season five it was the best and things like that and it felt flat BUT BUT BUT everyone always complained about PARENTING and it was here this season, everyone always complained about MONEY and it showed how they got it, everyone always complained about how OVERDRMATIC the characters were and this season they were calm. now everyone says its too clam, MAKE UP YOUR MINDS PEOPLE OR WATCH ANOTHER SHOW...all and all i liked every season and generation. IM A TRUE SKINS FAN!
