hi-C
Now I know there are at least four of us who watch this show. Since it's started coming on BBC America though, I know there have to be more fans of the greatest teen drama on TV. If not, you need to get familiar.

Is the third series on yet?
hi-C
Nah, I don't think so. It'll probably premiere in the first months of the new year (Jan - March).

2 episdoes into the 3rd series and no one (coughJamescough) bothered to tell me.

I still need to watch the first season of this show, but I never get around to it.
batman
hm, i'll check 'em out.

i started marathoning from season 1 with a friend and now i'm all caught up. i do agree that first two seasons were best. effy is so gorgeous, though. i'd keep watching just bc i love her.

finale of season 1 was so awesome. ooh baby baby its a wild world. :)
batman
damnit i love how you guys talk. it's not even the accent, its the words and how you say things like "well fit" and "proper mental" and "shaggable" and such.

f*ck, all i've wanted to do since i started watching was go to riverside park and smoke a spliff. :x

I find it amusing how Anglicized (or Anglicised, rather) Mike has become since moving to the UK.

American versions of anything usually aren't great. I don't see what would be different about it except that the actors wouldn't have awesome British accents.

haha true, except I find I enjoy the American 'The Office' more than the British one. I don't know. haha

Damn, I just started this series, and I gotta say that Maxxie is my favorite character.
creole
lol w/e there needs to be more maxxie time
creole
oh eff. aren't those seasons sucky compared to the first two? :/
Joanne
Has anyone tried watching the American one?

I'm 7 minutes into it and it's already pretty bad. They're trying to make the first episode identical to the pilot of the UK one, minus the nudity, swearing, and good acting. Ugh. But then I may be annoyed because I started watching it convinced that it would suck...

American Effy is not hot, btw.
Blyat
Yeah I watched the American one first thinking "gee it's not bad"
...but then I went back and watched the UK version.....its bad ugh!

But idk I think American Effy seems cute
Joanne
So I finished the first episode. LOL at how they bleep out the f-word. Either not censor it, or not use it at all, geez. The bleeping makes it so much more awkward than it needs to be.

American Maxxie is pretty hot, but I'm so sad that they turn Maxxie into a girl/lesbian. sad.gif

AND WHY IS AMERICAN CASSIE SO OPENLY EMO?? I want fake optimistic/happy Cassie. Plus Cadie and Stanley don't look as cute together as Cassie and Sidney did.

MTV made it. MTV series that aren't realty based suck. I love the original skins, and I would watch a remake of it from any other network other than MTV. Everything they touch turns into some incredibly shallow and stereotypical garbage.

I am still pissed off about that emo chick series.
Blyat
I heard MTV is getting into some trouble for making it really similar to UK
Joanne
Given how America is a lot more strict about what content can be broadcast than the UK, I'm not surprised. How can you expect a show that focuses so much on racy topics like sex, drugs, and homosexuality to survive, let alone stay the same, when there's so much censorship?

It was a stupid idea to bring a show like Skins to the States.
creole
i kinda hate the show but i kinda like it.
UK skins will always be the better one cause it's the original one, but US one isn't completely that bad how everyone is dragging it out to be. yeah, most parts are just stupid, but i can definitely say this show is better than hard times of rj berger



i can't help but just love the epicness in how they put into their openings lawl
