SKINS REACTION - S1 EP1 - BACK TO THE BEGINNING 

The fact maxxie didnt get his own episode is criminal

It is wild to see someone react to a show I absolutely adored who also acted in it!! You were one of my favourites

They rlly didn’t wanna dedicate an episode to a gay male character which was disappointing but one thing I enjoyed about Maxxie is that being gay wasn’t all that he was, he actually had good charisma and dreams to be a dancer. Being gay was just like a fact as if it’s not a big deal and I feel like Hollywood does that too much making the gay character their entire story and personality and burden when it wasn’t for Maxxie, was just a fact! A fact he wasn’t ashamed of. Forever Skins! 🤟🤟

As odd as it may seem, pretty much everything that did happen in this show also happened in my life when I was 17-18 and in my early 20s (drugs, partying too much, undesired pregnancy, friends hooking up with each others, death of a friend,... and so on). So it was almost like experiencing a cathartic moment watching this show at that time. Skins' first two seasons have been and always will be very important to me, it's a window to the past. A decade later I still enjoy watching it once every few years, it reminds me so much of that younghood! It was also very important to have a teenage gay character depicted in a good way in a 2000s TV show. I guess Skins was a first in that regard? Anyway, as a lost and fearful country boy, seeing Maxxie having loving friends and relatives and enjoying life helped me a lot to accept my sexuality. And I guess I was not the only one in that case. Thanks a lot for this blast from the past! I hope you're well! And please, if you go on reacting to Skins episode, don't forget the season 2 finale!

I’m currently rewatching skins and every time I watch it maxxie is still my favourite

your reaction to everything is so hilarious 😭 i’m so glad you’re watching these because skins made an impact on us all. thank you mitch!!! 🫶

i’m so happy he’s doing this

Eyo this feels like unreal content

skins is genuinely one of my favourite shows ever

I'd love to see you do more of these reactions! It's such a fantastic series that's so ahead of its time. Maxxie was such an iconic character as well, and seeing the man himself reacting to the series is really cool!

at 3:44 I noticed that he played maxxie I just thought this was a normal reaction video and that they just looked alike

We need more Mitch watching skins of him and his fruhndz

im loving the reactions!! maxxie was and will forever be my favorite, thank you for playing such an amazing character

i’m rewatching skins and looked up the cast. you look so amazing!! i’m glad u are doing well :)

I rewatched Skins with some friends recently and this episode is beyond iconic

Skins was a huge part of my teenage years (I was 16 when the show came out.) It affected me tremendously and informed my own life in so many ways. What a beautiful experience to go through the same things y'all were going through as the show carried on. The theme will never fail to be bring tears to my eyes. You're a beautiful soul, Mitch!! Nice to hear your insights that we all hadn't heard before. xxx

Skin is my favorite show! I love the different generations and how they all kinda blend. 1st gen gotta be CLASSIC, Effy's gen is insane and the third one is just so amazing with Gracey and Rich GOD this show is so good.

What a lovely soul you are! These videos are priceless :)

I stumbled across this and was thinking it was a random reaction from a british bloke. Once he started talking and his facial expression was front on, I said outloud " is this maxxie?". then OF course you keep reading the titles of what I am watching,and rememberin' yadda yadda. It is truly insane how long ago Skins aired and how it was also yesterday? right? ALSO, cool tidbit about the scene in the dance studio. It felt fluid and makes more sense because in some way you were comfortable,even in the chaos, because you knew the place? You brought maxxie to life and your performance as such was quite memorable.

YOU and maxxie were the reason why i stuck with the show😭😭we love you!!!

when i found out from the skins subreddit that you started uploading videos, i had to run to this channel! your personality is so sunshine-like! whether you'll keep uploading skins content or a random vlog of u buying groceries, we'll still watch and support ! ✨❤️ take care !

I remember watching this when this came out and I was jaw-dropped. The way you just seamlessly went into this role was outstanding. I think the first 2 seasons of Skins really had an impact on the audience watching. Maxxie will always have a special place in my heart and the first 2 seasons i will always remember

This is such an accurate representation of my teenage years at that time. Always brings back memories!

Omg I can't believe this exists. Maxxie made me realize I was gay and gave me the courage to come out to my friends in high school. I was so obsessed with him and the scene with him and Tony. Looking back I think it probably meant a lot to see a gay character in a show who wasn't The Gay CharacterTM but just another friend in the group, and who was always so confident. It's so nice to see that you look back on the show fondly. Please do moreee but also please do them in order lol

Just started watching Skins for the first time and I'm so glad I did! I love Maxxie - you brought him to life so well

I can’t believe this exist, I’m so excited to dig into some of your other videos. Loved you as Maxxie and love you as you

Oh my god, this is so crazy to watch you react to this 😂 skins is still one of my favourite shows and Maxxie was always such a great character. Absolutely would love to see more of this but whatever you choose to upload on this channel I’m sure we’ll all continue to watch.

Skins made such a big impact on me and Maxxie was definitely my favourite, love seeing you react to this ❤❤

Loving this reactions. Such an iconic series

i just finished watching your generation yesterday and maxxie & cassie were my absolute favs

Currently binging on Skins and looked you up after your awesome performance in S02E01. Glad to see you're doing well, and enjoyed watching you reminisce here.

Ahh the nostalgia, thank you Mitch ❤

Oh my gosh, I've just started rewatching this show! And I had the biggest crush on Maxxie, so crazy 😂😂😂 btw your laugh is superb, i love it!

Absolutely love Skins. Been rewatching it again recently and never expected to find your channel but I’m very glad I did

Omg! Hey Mitch! It's super cool to see you reacting, I love hearing about how bits of Maxxie came from you/your hometown. (Do you still know how to tap dance? haha) I would have never guess you hadn't been on camera before, you killed the role! I've loved Skins and made friends in high school through watching the show. Thank you for the reaction and I'm looking forward to your uploads as your newest subscriber! EDIT: I love how fondly you look back at everything, makes me happy that the same nostalgia I feel from watching it at the time can be shared with someone who played an active role in that nostalgia lol.

Maxxie reacting to skins ,❤

Not sure if you seen this article (forgot the name) but it was saying that skins is making a comeback 😭 so true I’ve been seeing so many edits on tiktok

💛💛💛💛💛

I really wanna be an actress 😩 😫 especially somewhere im used too like Bristol would be just so sick

please do the whole series

u r still so pretty i love u sm😭🫶🏻

Clicked on this not realizing who you were 😂

You know what I don't get, why in season 3 the cast changed, yet Kaya Effy stays upto season 4 maybe 5 I think. Something about they change the cast every 2 seasons or so yet that might be bullshit cause Effy has been in it since season 1 and she stayed till 1-4 and then come back in 7, yet none of the other cast came back for seasons 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 were the worse seasons because they lacked the characters from the original 1 and 2. The in the final seasons 7 which came way later had Kaya but not her brother, had a few famous but didn't include the whole cast which it should of. Well thats my take on it lol I need to re=watch this tv show again cause 1-2 were the best 3 and 4 were decent and that's where the best seasons ended I'm afraid. Two more cool older shows Lexx 1-4 and Sliders 1-3 try them out they are good too.

what happened to the one who acts Sid ?

U need to do a reaction to the shit American one 😂😂😂😂

Omg, Mitch, it's you! You have no idea the crush I had on you back then.

Is college High School in ya'lls country?????

u literally look sm like maxxie

You should’ve been on glee

To me that sounds pretty normal name it Mr. happy people have name there’s a lot worse
