And another anon:
Different anon for skam, but Lola is a brand new character. She’s the sister of one of the og cast members. Maybe watch the season 5 ep 10 last clip and you’ll see Lola being introduced that can help a bit!
And another anon:
It’s not relevant to the current season.
And another anon:
it’s pretty easy to understand starting from season 6 because it’s about a new character, there are some old characters that have a major presence in the season ( like the sister of the main character) but it’s still not necessary to understand, unless you’re actually interested in knowing more about the backstory of this characters as well
Lol, thank you, Mayla fandom! I get it: I need to start from the beginning. 😛 But no, I see now, I thought this was a legacy character getting her own season but she’s pretty new, now your advice makes sense! I do like to see characters outside of their ship, just as a comparison point, but it looks like that’s not needed here, which is a bit of a relief as I don’t think I’ll really be watching for the others. Thank you for your quick replies!
