What Season 6 of Skins

The sixth season of Skins returns to Bristol with the third generation of characters: Franky, Rich, Mini, Liv, Alo, the brothers Nick and Matty Levan, and newcomer Alex Henley. It all starts with a vacation in Morocco, where a rundown flat takes a back seat when the group finds marijuana under the floorboards. Rich is consumed because a teacher has forbidden him from seeing someone important to him, and Alo tries to distract him with his band's rehearsals. Alex makes friends right away, though he isn't used to having them. Franky isolates herself and gets close to Luke, who is not good company. Nick is torn between his love for Franky, his loyalty to Matty and his fear of facing the others. Mini, for her part, feels she has lost control of her life.
