== Reception ==
On average, about 192,000 viewers watched the first season, with the first episode being one of the most viewed of all time on NRK TV online.<ref>{{cite web|author=Øystein Aldridge|url=http://www.aftenposten.no/kultur/NRK-treffer-blink-fra-skolegarden-13320b.html|title=NRK treffer blink fra skolegården|accessdate=2016-11-05}}</ref> In the first week of June 2016, streaming of Skam was responsible for over half of the traffic on NRK TV.<ref>{{cite web|author=Øystein Riiser Gundersen|url=https://nrkbeta.no/2016/06/04/hvordan-maler-man-en-braksuksess/|title=Hvordan måler man en braksuksess?|accessdate=2016-11-05}}</ref> The show was reviewed positively and praised for dealing with important topics such as [[sexual abuse]].<ref>{{cite web|author=Thea Roll Rakeng|url=http://www.aftenposten.no/kultur/Dette-blir-den-nye-hovedpersonen-i-Skam-sesong-3-585512b.html|title=Dette blir den nye hovedpersonen i Skam sesong 3|accessdate=2016-11-05}}</ref> Martine Lunder Brenne called Skam in ''[[Verdens Gang]]'' on November 2016 "Norways coolest TV series", especially for the handling of homosexuality in the third season.<ref>{{cite web|author=Martine Lunder Brenne|url=http://www.vg.no/nyheter/meninger/homofili/en-liten-skam-revolusjon/a/23837126/|title=En liten "Skam"-revolusjon|accessdate=2016-11-05}}</ref> The newspaper ''NATT&DAG'' selected it as the best TV series of 2015.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nattogdag.no/2016/02/vinnerne-ags-rikspriser-2015-arets-musikk-arets-film-arets-stemme/|title=Vinnerne av NATT&DAGs rikspriser 2015!

Starting with season 3, the show was able to reach also a foreign audience, and NRK was therefore heavily asked for adding English subtitles to the Skam episodes online. The demands were declined and NRK motivated the decision with the licenses of the music used throughout the series, that would not allow them to make the episodes easily available outside of Norway. They also took action against attempts to unofficially spread videos with English subtitles on the internet.<ref>{{cite web|author=Kari Stokke Nilsen / Cathrine Elnan|url=https://www.nrk.no/kultur/why-nrk-can_t-translate-skam-1.13208362|title=Why NRK can’t translate Skam|accessdate=2016-11-05}}</ref>

== Awards ==
At the Norwegian TV awards [[Gullruten]] 2016 Skam won five times: best TV drama, best new show, innovation of the year, best film editing TV drama (Ida Vennerød Kolstø) and newcomer of the year (Julie Andem and Mari Magnus).<ref>{{cite web|author=Thea Roll Rakeng / Martine Lunder|url=http://www.minmote.no/#!/artikkel/23684218/skam-jentene-stjal-showet-paa-gullruten|title="Skam"-jentene stjal showet på Gullruten|accessdate=2016-11-05}}</ref>
