The episodes themselves are presented in 16:9 enhanced aspect ratio, with a Dolby Digital 2.0 audio track, and optional English subtitles for those who have difficulty understanding British accents and slang (or, you know, those who have difficulty hearing in general). It was filmed in high definition, so it looks pretty good with a surprisingly impressive visual style.
As for special features, the set includes two groups of mini-features: nine video diaries featuring each of the main characters, plus one for Tony's younger sister Effie (the subject of the eighth episode of the series, played by Kaya Scodelario) and one for recurring character Abigail Stock (Georgina Moffat). These are webcam-type videos with the characters directly addressing the camera, and were most likely used in a viral campaign for the show. The other set of mini-features are titled "Unseen Skins", little minisodes that Channel 4 aired on their website to complement that evening's episode. Basically, these play like deleted scenes, filling in some missing details from the episode, and like most deleted scenes, were wisely left out of the main narrative. Some of the video diaries were fun, but most of the "Unseen Skins" were stupid.
