History YMMV / Skam

*** That, however, is also harsher in hindsight for the series in general, as Noora reveals in Season 4 that, despite her MomentOfAwesome against Nicolai, [[spoiler:she couldn't face testifying against him in court.]] Even worse that this is TruthInTelevision for a lot of assault victims.

** Jonas. Alongside the AbortedArc of Isak's crush on him in Season 1, his one centric episode focuses not on that or on his excessive drinking, hinted at throughout, but on [[spoiler:him dating Emma, which was not popular, and then getting back together with Eva in Season 1.]]

* SignatureScene: Isak and Even's underwater kiss in Season 3 is a well-known shot from the series.

** Noora running after and trying to stop [[spoiler:William when he thinks she's slept with his brother is a heartbreaking scene, but at one point Noora jumps on William in a manner looking like she's trying to get a piggy back ride rather than stopping him.]]

** Chris is a very good friend to all the other girls, but her episode is mostly about being a LivingEmotionalCrutch to the girls.
* UnfortunateImplications: While ''Skam'' is rather famous for its stellar representation of homosexual boys, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhlOEfkf-m8 one video essay]] argues that it ironically does the opposite for homosexual girls, as every display or mention of lesbian activity is treated like jokes, and the one female character many believed likely to secretly be a lesbian, [[spoiler:Vilde]], was instead put in a forced and unpopular heterosexual relationship in season 4.

** Meta example: as mentioned elsewhere on this page, the original series faced a lot of backlash from lesbian and bisexual women for arguably offensive portrayals of female same-sex attraction. In particular, much ire was drawn from the show having no canonically bisexual or lesbian female characters (which some fans felt was made especially grating by there being at least four gay or bisexual/pansexual male characters in the show: despite the main demographic being teenage girls, the only lgbt representation is for men) and portraying “straight” female characters kissing as a silly, drunk mistake. Several of the remakes have chosen to include lesbian and bisexual female characters.[[note]]Skam Netherlands has Janna (the Chris counterpart) as bisexual; Druck makes Mia (the Noora counterpart) bisexual; Skam France has Alexia (the Chris counterpart) as bisexual; Skam Spain has Cris and Joana as two bisexual girls in a coming out storyline similar to Isak and Evens from the OG; and Skam Austin has Eve (the Eskild counterpart) and changed their Isak equivalent to a closeted lesbian named Shay and presumably will have a female pansexual Even character.[[/note]]

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: Basically the premise of the show is teaching valuable lessons to today's youth (and also adults) that is quite timely with the world's situations at the time the series was released, such as drugs, social media, homosexuality and Islamophobia.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: Sana throwing water at the Pepsi Max girls becomes this when she reveals she was sticking up to Vilde.

* That, however, is also harsher in hindsight for the series in general, as Noora reveals in Season 4 that, despite her MomentOfAwesome against Nicolai, [[spoiler:she couldn't face testifying against him in court.]] Even worse that this is TruthInTelevision for a lot of assault victims.

* {{Narm}}: The ending of season 4, episode 5, while usually viewed as a great tearjerker, can also come across as this to others who thought the whole thing felt too contrived with every possible thing that could go wrong for [[spoiler:Sana]] ''going'' wrong in just the span of ten minutes.

* HilariousInHindsight: Even and Isak's conversation about parallel universes where they are doing different things together has become this, given the many remakes of the show were versions of them carry out slightly altered versions of their storyline.

*** ''Skam'' gained such a huge popularity and recognition that not only is an American version being made (also directed by Julie Andem), the series is also being remade in ''five'' European countries, those being Germany, Spain, France, Italy and the Netherlands.

** [[spoiler:Noora confronting Nicolai]] at the diner in season 2, throwing his own cocky attitude and blackmailing over having her nude photo in his face when she points out that having that photo is actually illegal and he could go to jail, along with having recorded everything he said.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Before season 4, many fans theorized if Vilde was secretly gay. Despite her obsession with William, it could be read as a typical teenage crush getting attached to the guy taking her virginity and showing her kindness while she had low self-esteem, while she still showed many signs of being uncomfortable with having sex with a guy such as having to get drunk to do it. Meanwhile, she displayed many typical sides of a LipstickLesbian, was very comfortable being intimate with the girl squad and didn't mind making out with Eva at a party. Come season 4, however, and she starts dating Magnus, which, due to the above, felt to many like a wasted potential and became subject to some criticism (see below).
