If you only eat one bagel today, this is the bagel.
Summary
Skins co-creator Bryan Elsley discusses how "multi-strand" shows — series that follow numerous storylines per episode — have become uncommon in UK television. Twenty years after Skins, which launched the careers of actors like Nicholas Hoult, Dev Patel, and Daniel Kaluuya, Elsley is now working on a new BBC and ZDF legal drama called Counsels, aiming to revive the multi-strand storytelling format.
