.keeneTV reviews InMySkin, a teen-focused Welsh series that looks like it should be a comedy but is decidedly not (you should watch it anyway):
expecting a poppy British teen comedy will need to look elsewhere—but not until you have first finished. It’s not a difficult proposition: The series run five half-hour episodes, though features Welsh accents so thick that subtitles will be a must. But this brief, deeply affecting story defies expectations at every turn.follows the story of Bethan , a misfit teen who has the weight of the world upon her. She lives two, and eventually three, separate lives.
Meanwhile, at school, Bethan is a pathological liar seeking to keep her broken home life a secret from her two best friends, the exasperated Travis and foul-mouthed Lydia . But after being recognized as a talented student who just needs to apply herself by an English teacher, she also catches the eye of a smart and popular student, Poppy , who Bethan is desperate to impress—creating yet another identity.
Creevy is exceptional at balancing Bethan’s many different lives, lies, and feelings from one moment to the next. You can feel the release of how her friendship with Poppy, full of flirtation and touching that seems to signal something more from one or both of them, is a sunny respite from the shadows she tries to escape elsewhere. As harsh and obscene as she is with her friends, she’s calm and caring with her mother. She scoffs in class, but is clever and driven when with Poppy.
