Slide centres around a group of unlikely heroes drawn together after an epic party gone wrong. The Slide five - Tammy, Ed, Luke, Eva and Scarlett form a bond that sees them help each other out of every conceivable scrape they manage to get themselves into it.
Set in Brisbane, with the thumping beats of the Valley setting the pace, Slide is a fast and edgy comedy drama about five kids and a bunch of first times. First tattoo, first heartbreak, first job, first time being arrested or first love, the Slide five charge headlong into these experience as only a teenager knows how.

Only real problem I can see with this is it makes the Valley look safe.

THIS IS NOTHING LIKE SKINS! i thought so until the first two minutes. these characters are more relatable and realist. also skins inst exactly an " original" show.. bunch of teens getting drunk and high. I loved that it's set in Brissy rather then Sydney or Melbourne as every other show, that gave it a little more flavor for us. it's a shame this show wasn't picked up for a second season. I do like skins but the last two season weren't as good as Slide. WATCH IT!

I like Slide, and though yes intially i thought it would be a rip off of skins its proved to be completely different.
Much more light and fun and more relatable than the characters from skins, but alas not quite as good.

Although the Ed character seems a bit cliche'd, the other characters seem alright. I'm glad at least that I've started listening to more aussie bands because of slide (Miami horror, last dinosaurs and Tim and Jean to name a few).

This is an Australian rip-off of skins, except it isn't funny, the characters aren't relatable and it is just stupid.
