Since I first watched skins I've seen the kids, for they are real kids, battle drugs, depression, homosexuality. drugs, sex, death and abortion with real human passion and feeling. Problems are not quickly solved with a text to Gossip Girl nor are petty rumours and that new dress integral to the show's plot. All in all, a good effort though the constant profanity and delinquency raise the PG rating of skins way above the PG-13 of most teenage dramedies. Plus the show has a cool indie Brit soundtrack.
Generation 1: The pioneer cast from Season 1 & 2.
Generation 2: The Cast from Season 3 & 4
On a sad note, an American remake of the show is in the offing. Needless to say it will be bland and tastelessly adapted for American television.
