Across the pond there is an AMAZING show that I recently discovered called Skins. Let’s just say that within a weekend of Netflix streaming I got through the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd seasons. The first and second seasons include a cast of British hotties (including Slumdog Millioniare’s Dev Patel) that have crazy parties and dramatic love affairs, and still find time to go to school. The 3rd season used the same dynamic but with a completely different cast, which was shocking at first but you learned to love them within the first episode.
The best part of Skins is that there are no boundaries on the subject matter. As an expert on high school shows, I know that there is always something that they just barely discuss, but never want to take that leap.
Skins now enters its 4th season and with only 4 episodes in there has been DRAMAZ up the wazoo! If you love high school shows, British hotties, and non-stop drama check this show out!

comment by megan — February 26, 2010YES. I’ve been watching skins since the first season and it is sooooooooo good. i think i first came across it on bbc. The latest episode nearly made me cry like serious!
comment by jenami — February 26, 2010totally watched the 5th episode of series 4 this morning, and i’m at a lost for words. I think it might have been the writers mission to destroy everyones lives this time around. the original cast is the best <3
comment by Nyssa — February 26, 2010oh and p.s. MTV is trying to produce a stateside version, which I think will fail because you can’t show or do the stuff they have in the original
comment by Nyssa — February 26, 2010ohoh and isn’t the fashion on skins just lovely?! I lovelovelove cassie’s and effy’s clothes!
comment by jenami — February 26, 2010yes, I watched the 5th episode last night too! Can’t believe so much has happen and were only 5 episodes into the season!
comment by Danit — February 26, 2010Skins is my life! This season has been blowing my mind! Last night’s episode was insane, I was crying practically the whole time. Freddie is such a babe.
comment by Lil J [Jewlie] — February 26, 2010AGGGH I love this show. I totally agree that the cast change was at first shocking, but now I loooove the season 3/4 cast to bits.
comment by Sonya — February 26, 2010One of my friends has been watching Skins for years and I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to catch on. SO FREAKING GOOD, OMG. xoxo, Bee
comment by Bee — March 1, 2010If you like UK teen shows I highly recommend watching the show Misfits (you can find all 6 episodes on youtube) and Nearly Famous.
