There isn’t another show on television like this and it continues to be as gritty and gorgeous as ever.

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.

“In My Skin” has enough mordant humor to cut through all the intensity. There are moments when it resembles the lighter “Sex Education,” in between all volatility and the struggles. I was immediately ready for more episodes.

Happily smutty dark humor and light melancholy mostly win out over maudlin life lessons. The distinctively British mix of winsome-glum kitchen-sink drama and sitcom beats works in this case, helped by the loose, run-and-gun style of Forbes and her cinematographer, Benedict Spence, and Creevy’s alert, understated performance.

The performance that Gabrielle Creevy gives as Bethan also goes a very long way toward making this series so relatable. ... Although the episodes are only a half-hour long, they are dense. A lot happens in each one, but under the supervision of director Lucy Forbes, whose credits include multiple episodes of The End of the F***ing World, they never feel overpacked.

In My Skin is a half-hour drama, and quite a good one. It takes Bethan’s pain and Katrina’s illness seriously, while also allowing both of them occasional moments of joy that feel earned. The brief first season ends in a place that has me very interested to see what happens next. Honestly.

Bethan’s occasional voiceover narration is an inconsistent element of the series, but her self-aware commentary is a welcome counterpoint to her infuriatingly self-sabotaging behavior. While having Bethan explain her inner thoughts can easily become a narrative crutch, In My Skin could have benefited more from Bethan’s reflective observations, which give us a deeper understanding of her often impulsive decisions.

I was not expecting very much when I started to watch this series, however it quickly became apparent that the acting and direction were spot on. So could the story line live up to it. Well at the end of season one I thought it was by and large successful and good enough to watch season two.
I am so glad I made that decision because season two steps it up significantly in pretty much all areas, and there are various parts where you feel you have just gone through an emotional ringer watching the lives of the various protagonists unfold.
So I would say this is a must watch series. Superb story and super acting.

Absolutely stunning. It honestly so unassuming creeping up on you so feverishly. The main is so delicate in her role giving it a perfect balance between vulnerable and strong. The stories told feel sincere and the heartbreaks important. Disappointment seems to be the reoccurring theme explored through each character but that not an adjective i could use to describe my own opinion of this because it's a monumental achievement.
