Join us for part 2 of our Skam España season 3 discussion!!! We finally get to Nora's story and some of our other faves (there was a time Gaby missed Lucas! lol).
But mostly we're here to talk about our co-lead for the season, Elvira "Viri" Gomez! Her insecurities, her strengths, the complexities of her relationships with her family and the girlsquad, and, of course, Hugo. We're huge fans of how España used the extra content to efficiently (and emotionally) tell Viri's story.

We all tuned in for NorAndro and instead got MiNora. Boo! But is it also secretly about NorAndro? Liska and Gaby take a deep dive into Nora, Miquel, their relationship, his turtlenecks, and how it all cleverly reflects and subverts NoorHelm. Join us for the first half (!!!) of our discussion on Skam España season 3.

Liska finally watched a season of Skam France! Yes, it's time to talk about Skam France season 3 and there's A LOT to go over (sorry for the runtime...). France embraces the DRAMA, which somehow mostly works. The season starts a bit shaky (and we're still not fans of the coming out scene), but it all comes together by the end.Turns out the charm of Elu is undeniable and we can't help gushing over Polaris, the tunnel/rain kiss, the piano scene....

Friendships are mended, love is rekindled, compartments are de-compartmentalized, marriage and discussed, all is forgiven, and Sana gets advice from everyone and (literally) her mother. In true Sana form, she resists every. single. step. of the way. But the season ends on one of the most beautiful scenes of the whole show.
A few things to note: 1) We’re sorry this took so long. It’s entirely coronavirus’ fault! And maybe Liska’s too. The “news” we update is comically out of date. 2) There are moments of weird background noise I couldn’t get rid of. I did my best! 3) That moment when Gaby says, “Are you my friend now?” she is talking to Liska's cat, not to Liska!
Join us as we discuss Sana’s last episode. We get deep, yo.

This episode gave us all the feels! Sana starts this week dreading that she will lose the girl squad forever, but by the end they're stronger than ever! With our friend Shelby as guest we discuss the challenges of Sana being such an internal character, how great of an actress Iman is, and how amused we are by Yousef's confusion when it comes to girls. We would also like the record to show that Chris is the best. Which Chris? Listen and find out!

Sana’s mad at Elias, at Yousef, at the whole world really, and she’s going to take it out on Sara. And it’s a delight! … Until it’s definitely not. Everyone rushes to Sara’s defense, Vilde ends up the most hurt, and Isak has to take the bullet for Sana. Yes, Sana, there are consequences to actions. Then we break down the possibly most frustrating conversation in all of Skamdom. Join us as we discuss Season 4, episode 7, “We Must Stand Together.”

Sana quits the bus before she can get kicked off and continues to feel distanced from everyone. The carrot discourse lives on, but it's more angsty than cute this time. Look, everyone is bad at communicating and people need to ask some follow up questions! Sana comes up with a plan to take down Sara, it's not a great plan, but it's a plan? We also learn Isak should never make tea. EVER.

The Girl squad vibes were strong. Bold choices were made. And Liv and Noah gave us all the good will-they-or-won’t-they high school feels. Join us as we discuss what works (the fight!) and what doesn’t (the dress!) in the second (and final - RIP) season of SKAM Netherlands.

Sana feels alienated from the girl squad and is (rightfully) suspicious of Sara and Pepsi Max. She continues to wrestle with her feelings for Yousef and her faith. The real MVP of the episode is Elias who is basically just the best brother! This episode also has our least favorite five minutes of the season (of the series?)...seriously, we have a lot of feelings about this!
