Skam Italia (often stylized as SKAM Italia) is an Italian teen drama television series based on the Norwegian television series Skam. The series first aired on 23 March 2018 on TIMvision.

Plot

The series follows the daily lives of students at the Liceo J.F. Kennedy in Rome as they deal with typical issues of adolescence. Each season follows a different protagonist and centers on topics such as relationship insecurities, slut-shaming, coming out, mental illness, and toxic masculinity.[1] The show occurs in real time, meaning when something happens at a certain date or time, scenes are uploaded to the show's website, called "clips." The show also utilizes Instagram and text message screenshots to give the characters a realistic feel. After the show's Netflix revival in season 4 and subsequent seasons after, the real-time and transmedia aspects are dropped, as all episodes are released at once.
