One thing that always struck me was the way in which they kind of gave the balloon squad a backstory that didn't really like link up to the previous seasons. It felt weird that Sana was just now feeling interest/getting to know Yousef seeing as he was supposedly her brother's best friend for a long time. Also, the subplot with Even feels a little bit tacked on in the sense that it makes all of Sana's interactions with Even and Isak in season 3 feel a little false. But I do think that the dynamic between Sana and Elias felt very real and there seems to be a genuine care that's well balanced with any differences they have. I also hateeeee the subplot with Noora and Yousef!!! I think there's too many attempts to connect Sana's narrative with other characters for fan service and that always rubbed be the wrong way.
Homework for Week # 9
Answer some or all of one of the following questions:
Does the dynamic between Elias and Sana feel like an accurate sibling relationship?
What are your thoughts/ feelings on his friend group (dubbed by fandom as 'the balloon squad')?
How does this group compare to/ mesh with the existing boy squad + girl squad?
I think there is a more conscious reasoning behind the absence of parents in Isak's life, specifically in drawing the parallel between his mother and Even (his mother having mental health issues is also established in season one.) I was a little confused by his relationship with his father, and think that it still feels in some way that the lack of parents is contrived so that he can live with Eskild. But compared to Eva and Noora, the show really makes an attempt to immerse us in the way that Isak sees his parents, which is distant from him. They definitely play a larger role thematically even if they are present less than Eva's mom for example. Not Isak's parents, but I think the scene in episode 9 with Magnus talking about his mom is really great.

How does SKAM's treatment of Isak's parents differ from its treatments of Eva and Noora's parents?
I definitely empathize with both of them, particularly Isak, who is going through a period of intense self-discovery. But I was struck this rewatch by how mean he is towards Emma! The moment when he goes through his phone and looks at all of her texts to him that he's ignored made me so angry on her behalf. I empathize with his desire to cover his sexuality, but Emma is totally caught in the crossfire. Also, the way Even talks about Sonja is totally so disrespectful. In general, I do see why both of them act this way, but I think the inclusion of such bad behavior/misogyny needs to be more meaningfully explored because the show definitely relies on the audience's empathy as a crutch.
Homework for Week # I think 7
Can you forgive Isak and Even for any of their shitty behavior thus far (especially towards women) for the sake of their #love?
This has actually always been one of the aspects of the show that has most confused me. Noora and Eva (and later Isak) all have relationships with their families that almost feel too hands-off? Of course, this type of situation does exist but I do feel that with Noora, for example, in the US two parents who "don't love" their high school age daughter, still wouldn't leave her to sublet an apartment with random adults. William and Eva both seem to always have an empty apartment, which maybe feels a little more realistic but also convenient. I think until Sana's season, it was easier for the show to remove the focus from the parental relationships and make it more about pure teenage stuff. But it does sometimes take me out of the show a bit because Noora specifically is living SUCH an adult style life that it makes me forget that she's 16? 17?
Homework for Week #5
How are you feeling about SKAM's representation of family life so far? Do the familial relationships you've seen or you've heard reference to feel realistic or no?
I think I used to believe that this season was in some way more authentic than the classic bad boy trope but rewatching it, it feels really conventional. I think in particular Noora's "activism" or like moralistic assertion of her superiority over William feels really forced, whereas William's "good side" feels equally as contrived. I also think the way that the Noora sees Eva this season, as a party girl with delusions about Jonas, also just makes me sad! But there is, of course, a chemistry between them and I'm interested to see what my new thoughts will be once shit goes down. Episode 4 for the absolute win btw.
Homework for Week # 4
What seems to differentiate Noora & William from the classic stereotypical bad-boy-gets-the-girl-who-hates-him-to-fall-in-love-with-him trope? Or do you not think their story so far is at all different from this trope?
Was definitely surprised by the reveal the first time I watched but rewatching there seems to be more signs. The best mic drop, of course, is Sana telling Vilde the real reason she threw the cup in Ingrid’s face. I just love everything Sana does and this in particular shows that her brutal honesty is rooted in real care and friendship.
Homework for Week # 3
Were you surprised by the reveal of why Ingrid and Eva's friendship ended?
OR
What was your favorite mic drop moment of the week and why? (example: Eva telling Iben to stop attacking other girls and BREAK UP WITH CHRIS while they're in the bathroom, or Noora calling William Willhelm)
Always and forever rooting for and trusting Sana! She is a real friend, even though she would honestly be the kind of friend that would similarly make me upset with her tough love. But she’s real and wonderful!
Penetrator Chris is an antagonist to me, sorry! Obviously Eva cheating is a two way street but he’s a dumb fuckboy. Of course, I am rooting for Eva. Don’t always trust her and her emotions but she is vulnerable and real. I feel for her so much.
Also noticed that the Gabrielle song from season 3 plays in episode 6 of season one 🌟

Who do you trust right now? Who do you think are the antagonists, who do you find yourself rooting for?

Skam España - Episode 2, Clip 2 (TRANSCRIPT)
Disclaimer: THEY SPEAK FAST! Not everything is perfect, but hopefully, this will suffice until the subtitles are out.
Eva: Today they kept telling us again and again, in English AND in Physics that “OH this is the most important year of your lives, this is the year you decide your future.” And let me tell you it”s so annoying
Nora: In the United States they do this thing where you take a year to think over things
Amira: I tell that to my parents and they’d send me to Morocco with one (Spanish currency) Ah Viri don’t get mad, It was just a joke.
Viri: No, yeah, ahaha
Eva: Well, apart from thinking things over, what do they do? Like, what else would they do? Drink?
Nora: No, girl, look, they travel, see the world, I don’t know, they work? I don’t know, but I’m thinking about it.
Cris: Girl, please bring me with you
Viri: I don’t know girl, look, you’d come back and the court letter doesn’t go through and you have to take the exams again and your friends will be in another grade.
Cris: Viri, for real, you are expert of taking the fun out of everything
Miquel: Nora?
Nora: Um, Hi?
Miquel: Hello
Nora: He’s a friend of my sister’s
Miquel and Eva: Hello, etc.
Nora: Did Emma tell you I would be here today?
Miquel: No, I saw on your insta, I was going to comment you something but I figured, better in person. And since Saturday went so fast I didn’t have time to tell you about the theatre.
Miquel: The tickets I told you about. I had to insist a lot but, in the end, he owed me a favor and I was able to get them (’m sorry I can’t really understand what he said here, but It’s nothing major)
Miquel: You can go with whoever you want to
Nora: Thanks
Miquel: You’re Welcome. Well, you’ll tell me about it? Bye!
Nora: Wait, Miquel. I just, I feel bad. These were so hard for you to get, and, better you go with someone.
Miquel: Come with me?
Nora: I just want to see the musical.
Miquel: And me?
Nora: Fine, okay, yes
Miquel: Yes, it’s at 8:30. We’ll meet at 8:15? Yes?
Nora: Yeah.
Miquel: Ok great. Bye!
Girls: Nooooooo! Nora!
Eva: You’ve hooked up!
Girls: hahahaha (little sayings)
