Skins Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
hthbrr2 Warning spoilers!Yikes! Why was this even made? I mean this is a remake of a British TV show. So the language is in English, why the remake? Oh right, greed.Kids, no matter what country they grow up in, basically have the same problems in life. So it boggles the mind as to why this was even remade as the US and UK are fairly similar places to grow up.Anyways they just censored the nudity in the US version and replaced all the actors with pretty faced wanna be actors. That's the problem with American entertainment, we take flash over substance. Like most "actors" these days CAN'T EVEN ACT! Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, Lilly Collins, Miley Cryus, Emma Watson. These people are famous because of their good looks, nepotism, or stupid fan base. The days of the great child actors are GONE! THIS horrid show is proof! They don't even TRY and act, all you see are blank stares most of the time.Where as the original skins was ground breaking, and won many awards while propelling their young actors into fame and fortune. This remake was just fodder for parent groups bashing it as filth. And they are right! This remade version lost the soul the UK version had. It's all just for shock value. "Look at kids having sex" "Look at kids doing drugs" "Look at kids sleeping with their teachers." But it had none of the intelligence the original had. These shocking things happened in order to make some kind of point. But in the US version it was done JUST to shock. No moral lesson exists.Avoid this $#!tty remake.
pbellemare This series is excellent. The music, the acting, plotting, everything about it stands out as one of the best teen drama/comedies I've seen, and I've seen ALL of the "original" series.This is as good, and in many ways BETTER than the Brit versions. The characters are just as fully developed and realistic, the actors are tremendously accomplished, and the music in the series is always good.Don't listen to the fanboys of the original series who criticize without actually watching, this series is great. Its a terrible thing that it was cancelled, I hope the actors find work in other things, they've done such a great job here I look forward to seeing them in other things.
Katie I own the first four seasons of the British version of Skins on DVD and could watch them over and over. This American, oh I'm sorry Canadian, cast just don't meet the mark whatsoever. There is no talent there at all and since they are copying the almost exact script from the original you would assume it would be an easy job. And the worst of all is the actor who plays Tony. I have seen better acting in children's theatre by 10 year olds. And he is supposed to be the leader of this group? This show is going to be canceled in no time. I wish it was better because E4 in England did so well with this show. Sorry MTV but you fail
NuthinSpecial Skins US, or as its called AmeriSkins, is a very good show. The characters and issues are germane and relatable to issues real life teens face in modern times. Sure there is some parts that are far fetched, but for the most part AmeriSkins is a great show. I actually care for these characters and feel for them! Not many shows can have that effect.Sure AmeriSkins is a copy of the UK Skins, but SO WHAT!! If you prefer UK Skins to US SKins then watch UK Skins! You don't have to talk trash about this show, especially when the AmeriSkins cast is better than the original. But thats just my opinion.I beg you MTV, please let us have some closure to Skins, and grant us one more season!
