Warning: Spoilers
Even though i'm sure there's a lot of thought process behind it, every scene from the entire season of SKAM feels so natural, even the minor details. It's not something extravaganza, overly dramatic teenage shows which most "hollywood" shows are. What stands out about this show is the extremely and i mean EXTREMELY well written character. There's is literally no single shallow character. And how they made every season from a different character's perspective is perfect, it made the story line more personal. It almost feel like we also experienced what they're going through. The acting, soundtrack, writer, director, pacing is extremely good (AND IT'S FUNNY TOO!).

I'm gonna rate every season of Skam from least perfect to literally perfect.

4th Place, Season 2 (Noora) 9.2/10 Noora is actually the best character in the series, imo. It's really hard not to like her character and it's really nice to see her full story. We also introduced to a new characters, Eskild which is the funniest guy. But what this season lack of is good pacing. It started out really well, but towards the end it feels like "dragged down", and the pace is really slow comparing to the first season. And William character while he's far from one dimensional, he's portrayal of a "cool guy" a little bit too much.

3rd Place, Season 4 (Sana) 9.5/10 Sana has always been this "badass"character, and in this season we got to see another side of her which is cool. And there's a lot of deep ,important messages and meaning from her conversation with Yousef, and Isak. That bench scene is phenomenal. But throughout this season, Sana makes a really questionable decision, like SANA, WHAT ARE YOU DOING! I understand why she make those decisions but it's still hard to watch. But it's still really good.

2nd Place, Season 1 (Eva) 9.9/10 This season got me hooked. I remember the first time watching it i wasn't expecting on getting invested, and ended up watching the whole season in one sitting. The story of Eva is brilliant. We started with feeling sorry and sympathize for her character at the beginning. And as the season progress, with the twist and turn we see that bad stuff that has been happening to her is her own doing. The fast-paced is well done. And we also introduced to the girls!

1st Place, Season 3 (Isak) 10/10 Out of all season, this season is probably the most well written, and well acted. Tarjei Sandvik Moe (The guy who play Isak) is brilliant. The subtlety of Isak and Even's acting and the writing stands out the most. The writing of this season is on another level. The progression of the plot is so fast, and there's so much going on in this season. But somehow it's feels so natural, It doesn't feel forced or rushed. Isak's character is developed perfectly. And the ultimate plot twist is beyond perfect (even though it was hinted throughout the season). This is definitely on of the best season of all tv series i've ever watched.
