episode summary
In this, the first ever episode of the groundbreaking, hugely popular, British teen drama - As If, we are introduced to six teenaged friends living in London.
This episode is all from the point of view of Jamie, a typical teenager whose main thoughts are girls and parties. Jaime's latest crush is Nicki, who's just split up with her latest boyfriend.
Sooz is the dark and struggling artist of the group with her many piercings and tattoos and an attitude that scares most guys away.
Rob is a young man who works at a coffee bar and is in a relationship with Sasha, Nicki's best friend.
Finally there's Alex who who is best mates with Jaimie and a pal to Sooz but who has a secret.
fun and viewer review
This show is amazing and was very relatable for sixth formers at the time, very 2000s. You can't compare it to skins as that's meant to be edgy and very dramatic (issue based) where as 'as if' was all about the group of friends not so much what happened to them. I'm still shocked this isn't on DVD, I blame the mega soundtrack although this also added to the show! Couldn't be T4 on a Sunday with a bit of As If back in the day
