liz-williams-952-549567 Funny, witty, and poignant, though I feel that my age group will pick up what is laid down much more deeply than younger viewers. Some things in life are only really understood when you have either been there, or are able to imagine it because you know it is coming, probably sooner than you hope. Scenes like the old woman dying, and lines like, 'we are all at deaths door. Some of us just have our hand on the doorknob', make this show one of the best on tv.
Robert Pullman I wanted to like this show but it did not deliver enough. It spent too much time setting up jokes that are neither funny nor original. Season 1 of Sensitive Skin was much better. Episode 1 of season 2 did not come close to making me laugh. There were a handful of lame, clichéd jokes telegraphed. The characters were not believable, perhaps because the dialog was as lame as the jokes. Like so many shows, it relies more on eye candy interior decorating than on clever writing. I don't fault the actors since they had little to work with. Season 1 had some great scenes - the visits to the doctor, the encounter with an old school friend. Episode 1 of season 2 had nothing.
Eric V. Honestly if I wouldn't have turned the TV on that one time at around midnight, before going to sleep, I would never bother trying watching it. But it captivated my interests right away. Very interesting style (I would try to describe it as a weird blend between Coen Brothers cinematography and a slight Woody Allen vibe), story made up from small encounters, black humor, make up for a really witty and well written show. Since the first episode I just binge-watched as it is quite addicting. The story is surprising and funny, acting is super, characters are interesting, style is super unique and refreshing. A very pleasant surprise.
bjarias There really are not that many, but certain shows just sneak up after awhile and grab you. Sensitive Skin is one of those productions, in both the characters and the story-line. You start off somewhat unimpressed, but then you begin to connect, and you cannot stop being drawn in. And towards the end of the first series, you are caught up in both plot and the lives of some individuals you thought you would not have that much interest at the very beginning. And it's not that she has been ignored, but for much of her career Kim Cattrall has not been center stage as much as she deserves to be.. but here she shines, and it's one of her finest overall works to date. This is her show, nuanced and subtle, she is just outstanding. Where it leads to a second season can only be guessed at, but it is very much anticipated by those that have come to truly appreciate this fine little TV series.
