After a slow-paced first half, Skins Pure continues to dawdle into its concluding hour. It becomes apparent it has no intention of picking up the pace and this might be the whole point.

Cassie’s neutral, cynical persona ensures that the same numbing melancholia of Part 1 transfers over into this second part. However, the beauty in the isolation remains just as effective, particularly the shots of windswept Welsh beaches and the derelict beach house.

Skins fans who are expecting a Cassie episode of daydreaming, drugs and quirkiness could spend the entire hour waiting for a “wow!” or to hear some reference of Sid, but neither transpire. 2013’s Cassie is something of a surprise, and the drastic development of the character will certainly divide fans.
