I just watched the trailer again and Katie seems to slap everybody. Edit: Thought the episode was pretty good. Not happy about the Pandora/Thomas thing. Pandora did the same thing as Thomas (she didn't just do it ONCE, she was still doing the nasty with Cook even nearing the end of the season when she and Thomas had been together a while). That just made me rage.

I watched the first three episodes, but enjoyed it... That was a looooooooong time ago! All I know is that Cassie is amazing.

So... I don't get it. This show is pretty much Degrassi + British accents?

Well it IS classed as a teen drama, but not like Degrassi or 90210 or any of those.
As for the American version, I'm okay with it if they actually keep it true to Skins and don't turn it into your average teen drama. I read that BBC America are always beeping out the swearing and cutting a lot out, so will they be making it to look more 'suitable' and cut out the swearing? And they should call it Skins US, so we don't have to call it Skins UK.

What makes it so different, exactly? It's tv for teens written by teens, which I expect makes it awful in an entirely different way to any american counterpart. Everything is melancholic, overdramatic and sourced from a lack of life experience. Everyone is a teen stereotype basically, and life is depressing. As you can tell, I didn't enjoy what I saw (and was forced to continue seeing)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRt6qqadzjwSo they just played the above trailer for the US version on tv a few minutes ago, and to be honest, I don't get why people seem to lik this. I didn't bother with the original Skins, cause it didn't sound interesting at all to me, but was it about sex addicted druggies? 'Cause judging by the trailers, that's what it looks like it's about, and it doesn't look very good at all.

People are always raving about this show on Tumblr (the UK version) and I've been interested in checking it out. I've seen that it says the DVDs are available in the US so I might have to order Season 1 and give it a check, but I'm worried I won't be into it at all.

She's the African American. Nothing like Cassie. She's the one on the trampoline? (I think! I've only seen a few eps of the original show.)

Trey, Skins is a freakin' good show. I've only seen like 3 or 4 episodes, but it was pretty great.

I love the original show. This new trailer doesn't get me too excited about the US version but I will check it out. This is one of those situations where I don't understand why they just don't air the British version. Are we Americans really so lame that we can't watch anything unless we are in it?

Series 4 still has not aired in the US. Color me sad. I guess I get this instead!

oh.my.christ.
That looks AWFUL.
Im making a huge judgement with this comment...but I dont care. Why must America remake every fecking thing just so they can label it as American??!!
Angers me to NO end.
Its like every single brilliant Foreign film simply HAS to be remade in America..I still havent got over the whole REC situation where it was remade like a month later and retitled Quarantine...and then the release of the Spanish version was given limited screenings so that the American version could seem like the original one.
ARGH.
And now this absolute crappy rubbish...the US version of Cassie looks rubbish.
I just hope people are aware that it was original a Good British TV Show...Im just waiting for some America remake of Dr Who.lol. Give it 5 years...Im sure itll happen.
Although...I must say, when I was in LA this summer a lot of people had seen Skins, so that gives me hope. haha.
Also need to add...typical of the American execs of turning the character of a Clarinet player...into a goddamn cheerleader. Barf.

Once I finish catching up on Mad Men, I think I'll return to Skins. I loved the first few episodes, so I'd want to continue. I hear the characters change every few seasons, so tell me: Is the second generation as good as the first?
