Skins: Season 1

I absolutely love this show. Seen it a million times 😅😁

It is easily one of my favorite shows of all time. I don't want to say that it shows the "true lives of teens" because I didn't live a life like this when I was a teen but there are definitely people who lived lives similar to this. Some people argue that there is too much sex and drug use and that not all teens live like this. Much like the U.K original version each character has an episode centered on them while the the overall story is still going on. Many people do not like this incarnation of skins and will say the U.K version is better. I personally prefer this one better. Many of the U.S versions characters are extremely similar to the U.K versions but Tea, the U.S version of Maxxie, in my opinion is not only more interesting than her U.K counterpart but also than all of the series 1 U.K version. The music featured throughout the show is some of the coolest indie music I've ever heard I suggest checking some of the songs out.

As wild as the original and has its own pizaz

OMG! NEVER SEEN A SHOW THAT IS REALLY GOOD IN A LONG TIME. IM REALLY HAPPY THAT I BOUGHT MY OWN COPY OF SKINS EVEN IF I ALREADY SEEN EVERY EPISODE ON MTV. SKINS IT'S REALLY DIFFERENT FROM OTHER SHOWS WELL THATS MY OPINION I GET A DIFFERENT FEELING WHEN WATCHING THIS SHOW FROM DEGRASSI. I LOVE DEGRASSI AS WELL BUT THE FEELING I GET FROM SKINS IS LIKE SOMETHING I NEVER GOT IN A SHOW, AND IM REALLY REALLY UPSET THAT MTV WOULD LET A BEAUTY SHOW GO. THIS SHOW DEALS WITH REAL SITUATIONS THAT TEENAGES GO THOUGH TODAY. I SAY MTV SHOULD HAVE GIVEN IT A ANOTHER SEASON TO SEE HOW IT GOES FROM THERE THEN DETERMINATE TO KEEP THE SHOW FOR OTHER SEASONS. THIS SHOW COULD HAVE HELP OUT ALOT OF PEOPLE. I HERD LOTS OF PEOPLE SAID IT HELP THEM WITH THERE FRIENDS. I DONT CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY SKINS (UK) IS BETTER THAN THE (US) SKINS I DONT CARE. SKINS WILL BE SKINS NO MATTER WHAT. I WILL LOVE SKINS FOREVER, AND IM HAPPY THAT I FOUND IT BUT IT SUCKS IT'S GONE. YOU WILL BE MISSED *SKINS*

Bought this thinking it was the UK version, decided to check it out. Don't bother the UK version is the only version to watch in my opinion.

I loved this show from the start, and yes I watch the British "Skins" and I will agree it is "Better" whatever that is suppose to mean. It's exactly as advertised, it is the whole "Skins" (US) series from a few years back. The only problem I have with this DVD is that it is the censored version of the show. What I mean by that is yes they curse, and yea you hear most of it, but ever once and a while you will hear the "beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeb" over words. While I understand this may be necessary for TV, the DVD should have given the option to turn it on/off. Other than that the DVD is great, the censorship is the only reason that I am giving it a 4 out of 5 rating.

Oh this tv show as as the title is saying not given a chance and I blame it on the PTC. They rode this tv into the ground. Calling it complete trash which it wasn't. Oh I like personally liked it because this was a chance for Americans to identify with the realistic sometimes extreme teen life. Seeing the first episodes and how the actors interacted. I loved there interaction and how the teens were always either fighting or making up and trying to find themselves. It wasnt all about drugs and sex it was deeper. Since all there families were not really functional and it shows how families are an important aspect of life. If this show was given a chance and not censored every FRIGGEN second I feel it could have been much better then the UK version. Sadly it was not to be since the PTC are like watch dogs of teen drama and the only thing they want is Disney and Nick drama which is sad since real life isn't like Disney or Nick its harsh and very hard.
