    Who here watches Skins?
    Skins is a British comedic teen drama about the everyday lives of adolescents: Skins revolves around the lives of a group of 16–19 year-old friends who live in Bristol and attend the fictional Roundview Sixth Form College. (Thankyou Wikipedia)
    I love the show, but the international versions are different to the original British Show (Because of Copyright on music etc.) and some of the episodes lose their charm.
    Also who thinks that dumping the cast for a whole new one in season 3 is a bad idea?

    I saw like one episode of Skins online and really liked it. Sadly,the site I was watching it on seems to have gone under. :frowning2:
     
  3. As I live in the US, I've never seen it. But I'm gonna get it for a Christmas present for myself. One question, though. Is Mitch Hewer as good an actor as he is good looking?

    Skins is pretty great. I love that series. Too bad for the 3 season they got rid of the entire cast and got a new one. I loved the first 2 though. I don't think I'll be watching the 3rd one though.

    They're keeping Effie, and having guest appearances at some point from the old cast but other than Effie everyone is brand new on the show. I'm going to give the new cast a try before I decide not to watch it though.

    Yes, His best episode in Season 1 is S1E6 where they go to Russia. Season 2 the first episode is his best.
     
  8. I love skins, I have both season 1 and 2 on dvd.
    But I lent them to a friend so I don't have them here. :frowning2:
    I wanna watch Skins now!

    The Russia episode is just the absolute best... I think I've rewatched it like 8 times :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: I wish Mitch Hewer had gotten more screen time.

    In Season 2 Episodes 1+2 he gets tons of screen time (very good too)
