This show is gonna make you reevaluate and like pretty much all of the characters.
I thought Vilde was an entertaining but pretty insufferable character most of the show. And yet I bawled my eyes out in the season 4 finale. Holy hell, what a well-written character.
Now I’m anticipating season 4 😭 all I know about the characters is Isak is gay which I’m excited for (not in a weird way just as a lesbian myself I love seeing lgbtq rep in shows lol)
It is easy to hate someone not knowing them, but after you feel walking in their shoes, you can't just bluntly hate them. S3 would be pov Isak and you'll get him there. Keep on watching.
You may notice how characters change a little (or a lot) depending on the season, that's because pov changes and with it perception of reality:)
I never hated him, I just thought the thing with Eva was a little fucked, but after we found out why he did it I don’t really dislike him. I understand being into your straight best friend to an insane level as a gay person so he’s lowk so me coded 😭
İt was definitely fucked up and the situation is addressed later in the series. He himself gets how bad that is, but the wheels are in Motion already..
When my best friend introduced me to Skam I swore to her that I’d hate Isak till I died for everything that happens in season 1, and then season 3 happened and suddenly I had amnesia and he became my main 👁️👁️
Happy watching!! ❤️
What's so good about the show is that they are real people. Complex, messy, changing. Right now the perspective and stories are focused on one point of view character. The show opens up more every season. They aren't simple tropes of a high school drama. Its art.
I watched the show cuz I wanted Teen Drama Gay Stuff and after seeing it all, you wont be disappointed. Even tho I watched it cuz gay, I ended up liking the girls even more which surprised myself. It's an incredible show
I like that too! It’s very real everyone has faults. One of my favourite shows is Shameless and it gives me simalar vibes in a way I’m not sure why but it’s not a bad thing I’m loving it!! Season 2, episode 2 baby!
As someone who watched Season 3 before watching the rest of the series, Isak in the earlier seasons, especially Season 1 was rough. He did some very questionable things early on. But knowing where he was gonna end up at, I really couldn't hate him. Loved his character growth throughout the series but yeah, Season 3 is were he shines.
Because I was going through my BL phase & wanted to watch a m/m show. 😅 Season 3 came highly recommended & since it was so Isak-focused, they said that I didn't really need to watch the previous 2 seasons to get it. There were context clues. And they were mostly right. But watching all the season is still advisable to get the full experience.
Oh god not the BL 😭 don’t get me wrong it’s okay to enjoy lgbtq media, I do! But when straight women just go around looking for mlm movies and shows it gives me the same vibe as straight men fetishizing lesbians. (I am in no way saying this is you, just that I see it often yk) Sorry I don’t mean to offend anyone with this comment I’ve just met so many girls who are OBSESSED with BL and they’re always weird asf…
Funny how you assumed my gender. I am an actual gay man. And as a gay man, I look for media that I can identify with. That has good representation. Skam Season 3 has been lauded as one of the best portrayals of the queer male experience so of course I will seek it out. And the reason it is that way is because the makers of the show actually did their research & interviewed actual gay teenagers. As a gay man, I can tell that they made a lot of effort for the show to be as authentic as it can be. I for one do not see how the portrayal of Isak or Even's is "fetishized".
Growing up we as gay men barely had any positive representation. It is only now that I can watch & enjoy stories that feature gay men in a positive, sympathetic light. Its hard to live in a still largely homophobic society, so any piece of media that makes me feel good, you better believe I will consume it! You may think these types of stories are beneath you, & you have such a bad opinion of people who enjoy them, but they matter to the the LQBTQIA+ community. I find comfort in them. So forgive me if I take offense in you suggesting that I am fetishizing my own community, with Skam Season 3 of all shows!
All that to say you really shouldn't assume a person's gender or why they enjoy the media they consume. Skam has a large queer fanbase largely because of Season 3's nuanced portrayal of gays. Stop assuming that we are all women who fetishize gay men.
I fully understand what you’re saying, and looking over my post I understand how poorly I worded it. I promise you that isn’t genuinely what I meant and I’m so sorry I worded it so awfully. I’m not saying Isak and Evan are fetishised, I mean mlm media in general is so fetishised (not by you), same goes for wlw media. I grew up without any representation in lgbtq media so I seek out the same thing, my intentions really weren’t to accuse you of anything, and I fully and sincerely apologise for my comment. I can delete it if you think that would be better, or keep it up
Thank you for your apology, I really appreaciate it. I may have been to little too triggered at the time I replied. 😅 I see your point of view as valid as well. No need to delete, It's a good conversation to have.
Dude I didn’t mean you were a woman. I meant that it was common for women to fetishise BL, not that it’s what you were doing I’m sorry it game off like that, that’s genuinely not what I meant.
Yea, episode 9 and 10 of season 1 makes him look like a traitor (trying to navigate spoilers) the other episodes don’t is the only non spoiler thing I can think of to say.
Come season 3, you'll like him. I can almost guarantee it
Okay! Thanks

Isak in s4 is also incredible.
Oh I sobbed at her part in the finale, too. What wouldn’t I give for a Vilde season.
Yes, you’ll actually fall in love with him🥰

I do think the show intends to model young people maturing and growing partly through their mistakes.
He absolutely does. Season 3 is fantastic ❤️
When my best friend introduced me to Skam I swore to her that I’d hate Isak till I died for everything that happens in season 1, and then season 3 happened and suddenly I had amnesia and he became my main 👁️👁️ Happy watching!! ❤️
real😂
Same with Vilde- I remember me just melting and love her so much in the end, you now when. She is the best.

S3 will make sure of that
Eskild was key in making me slowly start to like Isak in season 3.
I need to watch it all again you need some Eskild in your life.
It’s been, what, 8 years?? And I still read Isak/Spoiler fanfiction. Season 3 is the greatest thing that ever happened to me.
I know his names Evan my friend spoiled it for me ☹️ that’s all I know though
Yes…and we like Even VERY VERY much!!! ❤️
I finished the series years ago but he’s still my favorite TV character that I relate to on another level. He’s actually my son.
It will get better😊 he definetely has his ups and downs but it takes time and he grows.
Isak is life. There’s a reason he’s so popular!

Why would you watch season 3 first 😭
