Hulu's new Brit-import coming-of-age dramedy 'In My Skin' tells the story of a teen desperate to keep her ugly family life a secret. Alan Sepinwall's review
Bethan tries applying her gifts to writing stories and poems for English class, but teacher Ms. Morgan can always spot the inauthenticity couched in her imaginings. “Just be honest,” Morgan instructs her. “Give us something real — bit of grit.”does not lack for grit. It is candid at almost every turn in a way its heroine is terrified to be. It never flinches from the harsh and overwhelming reality of having to be a parent’s caretaker at what is supposed to be a carefree age.
The series is so unsparing, in fact, that its public positioning as a “dark comedy” seems more a nod to each episode’s compact length than to the amount of humor anyone should expect from them. There are some scenes pitched at a slightly comic level, usually involving the school’s aggressive, oblivious gym teacher, or when Bethan’s overactive imagination manifests itself in brief fantasy sequences. Mostly, though,is a half-hour drama, and quite a good one.
