Alicia Vikander was fantastic in The Danish Girl, but her best performance of 2015 is still in the heart-wrenching portrayal of Vera Brittain in Testament of Youth.

Testament of Youth unfortunately flew under the radar since it was released in January of 2015, but out of all of Vikander's roles and films of 2015, I consider it not only her best performance, but her best film as well. A truly beautiful and emotional film with gorgeous cinematography and brilliant acting not just from Vikander, but from the rest of the cast as well. I highly recommend that you seek it out.

[OC] HUGE list of TV series and films to watch if you're into Skins

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

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies πŸ˜‚

Only shipping to U.S. addresses.

Prices probably don't reflect market value so try not to hold it against me. The prices are just what I'm willing to part with them for. If you can find it cheaper, please do. However, everything is negotiable to a point and if you're wanting to take a bunch off my hands at once I'm certainly willing to talk discount.

I'm in the U.S. so I'll be using Media Mail to ship. I won't charge for packaging because I have options available, but I do expect you to pay shipping. According to the USPS prices are by package weight (in lbs): $3.19 for the first lb, add $0.63 for each additional lb. When you pick what you want, I'll weigh them with packaging and give you the total.

Just PM me if you have any questions. I'll try to keep the list up-to-date. More will be added in the future.

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
