Front centre boy would get it.

 

Not sure when this starts. Are we excited? I get the feeling it'll be a hell of a lot better than what the UK series has become.

Front centre boy would get it.

Most definitely.

 

I am not excited for this whatsoever after British Skins killed all of my interest sometime in 2008.

Set in Baltimore WUSSUP my city's so hip

Front centre boy would get it.

JARK IN GOOD TASTE IN MEN SHOCKER

I also hear the one who's lost half his face behind that Latina is the TOKEN GHEY. How disappointing.

i prefer the long haired boy.

 

Is this going to be like the UK (same character etc.)?

Pretty much - they changed some characters' names but that's about it I think. There was a rumour that Teo (the Maxxie of this series) had been turned into a lesbian girl called Tea instead but then that contradicts what Tyron just posted so I'm not sure.

Do ignore me, my source for the Hispanic guy came from BEFORE the Teo/Tea change - which doesn't surprise me at all. Who wants a gay character in your teen cult show when a lesbian one can draw in so many more viewers? etc.etc.

This could be quite good i'm sure.

 

Skins now...oh dear. Series 5 is going to be terrible. Will be full of bad acting, and has to be a contender for the ugliest cast ever.

There is no batty character, Jark is right. They changed it and it's now a lesbian. GROAN etc.

I'm sure the Americans can't make this worse than it already is.

 

 

The only reason the Americans haven't raped the soul of Secret Diary of A Call Girl is because they couldn't find an actress that would be naked enough.

But surely it would have to be quite different... 16/17 year olds in america are quite different to 16/17 year olds in the UK, non? I'v never really *loved Skins*, just certain characters.

just saw the trailer for this. cringe at how dreadful it looks.

This really looks like a paint-by-numbers repeat of our Skins. Totally pointless.

Dont tell me you were actually expecting something creative from MTV? :P

Downloading now. I'm actually hoping for something pretty good since the US Shameless turned out to be much better than most expected.

Do America ever import anything? We don't remake anything they make that's half decent! :manson:

There is already a thread for this, merged.

It was CRAP.

Utterly embarassing. Tony's dad... I can't even find the words for how awfully written and acted he was. It was embarrassing to watch.
