“She’s thin, she’s blonde, and she says ‘Oh wow’ a lot.”

I’ve always been fascinated with Cassie Ainsworth since the first time I popped on the first season of Skins in my DVD player circa summer of 2010. From an outsider’s perspective, you’d think she’s your typical quirky, cute optimist with a mannerism for saying “lovely”. But once you swoop deeper into her story, you’d realize she’s a pretty face with a dark and complex perception of life and people in general. Maybe these aforementioned factors further validate what makes her character so riveting.
On a related note, I miss Skins. This was one of the few shows that encapsulated the millennial generation for so many reasons. I’m looking forward to the very day some writer or producer comes out of the woodwork to put out a tour de force akin to this one.
