How SKAM Failed Its Lesbian Audience
I can say, with certainty, that where shows like Euphoria and Elite zero in on dark, racy themes and explicit sexual content to market themselves as realistic, SKAM was grounded and quietly compassionate towards its young audience - managing, within four short seasons, to address with tact, issues as multifaceted as bullying, sexual harassment, homophobia, Islamophobia and academic pressure. It was definitely a rare gem of a show, one that did not sacrifice its ethics in favour of glamour and shock value to cater to young audiences.
