Here's the description:
> Due to budget cuts in a Yorkshire mill town, this series follows the lives of people affected by a merger of two schools in a largely segregated British and Asian community. Filled with thought-provoking topics of racism, poverty, bullying, sexuality and violence, this drama is based on real life cases of schools that have merged. The headmistress of Ackley Bridge College deals with never ending problems and explosive fall-outs as the prejudicial and cultural issues clash between pupils, staff and parents.
The main character is a 16/17 year old British Pakistani girl called Naz who's a lesbian. Obviously the whole show doesn't revolve around her sexuality, it's mostly about the Asian community (brown people) coexisting with the white community which is such an interesting concept. Shut up about Never Have I Ever, WATCH ACKLEY BRIDGE!! If it's not on your netflix then use a VPN and watch it on UK Netflix. It doesnt disappoint and it's way more realistic than NHIE.
Edit: my God, the anger in my rant was mostly a joke calm down. Y'all are a little too obsessed w NHIE so I thought I'd add a bit of ✨ spice ✨
Give it a rest, Channel 4, it's getting embarrassing.
Hi all, does anyone know a good source to get the original sound tracks from Ackley Bridge (background music)? I realise this is production music for the series specifically, but please don't hold back if you have any info :) Thanks!
And also, MERRY CHRISTMAS!! 🎄🎁😊
I can’t find any dvds and I don’t have prime or anything. I’m not old enough for all 4. Plz help me find it
So I’m a queer south Asian girl and despite the current discussions being made online about Ackley Bridge, I like it. For those who don’t know what it is, Ackley Bridge a British drama series about the lives of people living in a fictional city/town(?) in North England that is racially divided between white British people and South Asian people. One of the main characters, Nasreen, is a South Asian lesbian who attends a new school that was made to bring together the two communities mentioned.
I personally like how the series shows the struggles of Asian lesbians/queer people in general who happen to be Asian. For example, having to live closeted lives, despite living in a liberal country, because they’re trapped in an Asian enclave that isn’t very accepting of queer folks or anyone who doesn’t fall in line with certain expectations (straight, academic etc). I like how it shows that’s it’s not as easy as being and queer and instantly accepted by all your loved ones. Furthermore, I know it’s about Muslim Pakistanis and I’m from a Muslim Bangladeshi family background but our struggles are basically the same. There’s the same cultural and religious factors that can complicate things.
But as well as showing existing struggles, I think the show pushes boundaries by portraying a south Asian lesbian who (after some hesitation) comes out to her family and is proud of who she is. She’s not your typical Asian lesbian who is doomed to stay in the closet (and stay single) for the rest of eternity. She’s a bad ass who doesn’t care about what irrelevant people (read: Asian people who love peeking their noses in other people’s business) had to say in the first place.
I think Nasreen’s hesitation and eventual coming out is great character development too as we see her become a stronger person who worked her ass off to keep her mother’s support after almost losing it. She didn’t choose to easy way out which is by running away with her lover (honestly I know so many Asian girls who’ve done this just because they like a non-Asian boy and it’s kinda sad that it has to be like that but what can you do??).
And as an Asian myself, I think it’s important to see more examples of [South] Asians ‘rebelling’ and following their own plan instead of living fake lives controlled by fixed expectations. I mentioned this ‘Asian community’ a lot in my post because to Asians, outward appearance and keeping face is HELLA important. Maybe that can change one day tho :)
But anyway, thanks

Skins is one of my favorite series of all time, and i'm not saying Ackley Bridge is even on par but this is the most relatable and accurate series set in high school i've ever seen.
season 1 was good, 2 was incredible, and there's a 3rd coming despite some of the characters going off to college... hoping they introduce new characters each season similar to what Skins did.
New favourite series this
My name is Alex Nelson, and I am a freelance writer for The i Newspaper online here in the UK (https://inews.co.uk/author/alex-nelson/).
With Channel 4's Ackley Bridge hitting screens next week (June 7), we're looking to run an alternative review, whereby we have a teacher commenting on the opening episode.
I was just wondering if anybody on r/TeachingUK would be up for providing a review. It would be approximately 500 words.
Don't worry if you've never 'reviewed' a TV show before; we're looking for the personal touch. How well/badly did the show replicate life in a school/college, did it accurately portrays the struggles faces in real educational establishments, etc etc...
Of course, submitting the review anonymously is also an option. If you have any further questions, or want to get involved, please e-mail me at alex[.]nelson0904[@]gmail[.]com
Thanks!
There are a wealth of options nowadays, but here are some pointers as you always get someone asking for recommendations, and I'm also making this for posterity (in case anyone comes across this post via Google).
I've seen many of these titles or am planning to. I need to give some of them a rewatch now that I am older. So apologies for any misinformation. Common themes include identity, diversity, trauma, sexuality, psychological problems, drug use and addiction, loneliness, coming of age, romance and friendship. Certain media are more for adults, but might still be relevant to you.
Skam and Euphoria (US) are the most compared to Skins, and both tackle topics that teenagers deal with, like sex, self-discovery, bullying and societal pressure, mental health problems, homosexuality and transgender issues, etc. Euphoria is a remake of an Israeli series that is kinda underground. A big theme is substance abuse and its effects. Skam has many versions and the same channel produced another show called Blank. Not sure how that one is, though.
Hormones: The Series is considered to be the Asian counterpart to Skins, and there are gay couples. However, expect censorship, as Thailand is a conservative country. It started with a movie that was so successful that it spawned a 3-season "lakorn" (drama). Thailand has a ton of LGBT-themed media; another one that was well-received is Love Sick (not to be confused with the British sitcom).
SLiDE was a short-lived teen drama from Australia. If you want more Aussie stuff, check out "Heartbreak High" (from the 90s) and "Nowhere Boys". "Ready For This" features an indigenous cast, haven't seen it.
The Inbetweeners is said to be the opposite of Skins - a group of losers trying to navigate the last years of school (Sixth Form).
Misfits aired in the same channel as Skins and Inbetweeners (E4). It is a series involving a group of young adults with superpowers. I really loved it.
Glue is a murder mystery said to be similar to Skins and Broadchurch.
I'm a fan of the Degrassi franchise from Canada, but it's not for everyone, as it has an educational vibe and can be a bit cheesy sometimes. I like it though, as the actors/characters grow up and there are serious topics such as teen pregnancy, drugs, LGBT issues, mental health, prejudice, etc. Known for featuring Drake (Aubrey Graham). Director Kevin Smith used to watch Degrassi when he was younger. Has many installments. I suggest starting out with
