Hear us talk about Skam news that are almost a year old because that’s how long ago we recorded this, but we still hit some relevant points. Join us to discuss Druck season 6! This season is all about our girl Fatou. We love Fatou. We love Ava. We love Kieu My…We love all our flawed teens (except Constantin), but kind of just like the season as a whole. And remember Fatou is the turtle (it’s a metaphor!!!). 2024-02-172h 12

Mean girls, addiction, hospitalization, secret affairs, tragic backstories, hook ups, dead parents, urban exploration, new friend groups, bitch slaps, sister betrayal, bio-dad rejection, extremely patient love interests, and sentimental, tinkling piano scores. Because like Tiffany, France really commits to the bit. Gaby liked it more than expected, Liska just might talk herself into liking it by the end. One thing we can agree in on is Lola is a complex and strangely lovable character. Join us as we discuss all this and more… and this is just the first half! Follow...2023-01-311h 15

Cries in Norwegian: A SKAM PodcastTricky Traps! - Skam Italia season 4Buongiorno! It's time to talk about season four of Skam Italia and we've got some notes. This season has a weird place in the Skam-verse and we try to break down why that is. We still love our Italia squads, but despite a strong ending, this season felt a bit superficial to us. Still, we love discussing and dissecting this corner of the Skam universe. **slight spoilers for season 5 at the beginning!** Follow us online!

There're secret societies, scooters, tragedies, pills, penniless nobles, sex in Hollywood, and terrible, bad, no good parents. The brilliant Henrik from skamenglishsubs continues to blow our minds with his thoughtful analysis and cultural context. Season 2 was announced but no release date yet, perhaps late summer or fall.

Joining us is the one, the only, the legendary Henrik of skamenglishsubs, with his fascinating insider knowledge of the country and culture. We discuss the ins and outs of Swedish royalty (naturally), class solidarity, boarding schools, the show’s realism, the characters and their complicated relationships, what we loved about the show, what maybe could have been better, and “those hair clips cost how much???” And this is just part 1!

We're a little divided on what works or doesn't work this season, but we're both very impressed Druck managed to bring the spirit of skam to a new generation of characters. In this episode we gush about Nora, defend our supportive king John, love to hate on Consti and we like Kieu My so much Fatou might not be the only one with a crush....suffice to say there's lots to talk about and we say artifice a lot for some reason.

Overall we have some mixed reactions, but agree that there's just not enough time and specificity given to these storylines. Still, we love España and are sad to say adios to these characters!

Cries in Norwegian: A SKAM PodcastSkam España, s4 - we like the vibe!One of our favorite remakes tackles the always complicated, never-quite-completely-satisfying Sana season with predictably mixed results. We love Amira, we love Las Labass, we’re a little mixed on Dani, and rather divided on Amiris. The season tackles Amira’s Muslim faith sensitively and head-on, and somehow loses the plot (metaphorically speaking). Was it due to shooting during Covid? We’ll never know.

There are many things we liked: Some beautiful character moments, we were introduced to Noor, Robbe might be the gentlest Isak, and Sander is insanely talented...and yet the writing left us wanting more.

Cries in Norwegian: A SKAM PodcastFrance gonna drama - Skam France s. 5We dive into our first original character with Arthur, a compelling character who, after six hours of his season, we just don’t really know. The discussion revolves around love triangles, character cores, well-intentioned messaging that doesn’t quite practice what it preaches, and why Emma, Bas, and Fifi are superstars. Digressions include THE SOUND OF METAL (2019), our shameful ableist moments, remote Maine islands, and why ASL should be part of our regular school curriculum. Our voices were raw by the end!

We are sad to report that Liska was not a fan of this season, while Gaby would call it perfectly adequate. While there are many parts of this season that we enjoyed, it just didn’t come together for us.

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.

Cries in Norwegian: A SKAM PodcastEven Assholes Need People - 2x11Mari, who is most definitely not a bitch, fills in Noora on what did and did not happen at the party.

Cries in Norwegian: A SKAM PodcastI promise you you’re not going to die - 2x10William continues his streak of being very sweet and supportive, just ignore the part where he does Noora’s homework for her. One of us is very upset about that — guess who?! Girl squad comes together in the most spectacular of ways, Russ week ends, Constitution Day is celebrated at the hospital, and Human Garbage finally gets taken to the dump, so of course he tries to take Noora down with him. It’s the biggest of all Skam episodes and we talk about it for almost an hour, which is really almost conservative of us. Episode discus...2019-03-0656 min

Cries in Norwegian: A SKAM Podcast#HGN - 2x09Noora is depressed, shut down, anxious, and snapping at everyone as she waits for answers. It’s basically devastating to watch. On the plus side, William’s probably at his best. Also, we rant a lot about Human Garbage (Nico). It’s a short episode, but an emotionally wrecking one.

Cries in Norwegian: A SKAM PodcastGirl Squad Truth Bombs - 2x08This episode has some our favorite conversations this season. After the whole smashing a bottle on someone's head thing, Noora asks Williams for some space to figure out her feelings. Noora then immediately starts telling everyone but William that she's in love with him. More or less. At least she finally comes clean to Vilde! Also, Nikolai is the WORST and we HATE HIM.
