` SKINS
Skins revolves around the lives of a group of 16-18-year-old friends who live in Bristol. The Dawson Brothers claim the series represents the everyday lives of adolescents. The group includes a popular boy, his girlfriend, a Muslim boy, a gay character, a girl with eating disorder, a boy who is desperate to lose his virginity, an intelligent and privileged girl with family problems, and a party animal in love with his teacher. These characters attend a sixth form college in Bristol. Each installment has a self-contained theme focusing on each different character respectively, but there are several story arcs that span different episodes.


Well, I have to admit that I have never found myself a fellow Skins fan, and I highly doubt anyone on here watches the show. But still, its amazing. Its a british show, but they've got full episodes of it on youtube from the first season. Its much like any other teen drama out there, and yet its much less tame and tackles really important issues that cause you to open your eyes a bit and you know, don't make you feel as if your being lectured to. 'Cause thats never fun. But yeah, if you've never seen it, you should definitely go watch! It has an amazing cast, and the characters are very well developed, as is the plot lines.

Yess, hardcore Skins fanatic here, and it'd be awesome if someone else had at least HEARD of the show! Haha. *puppy dog eyes*

I've heard of it, only because I think Mitch Hewer is totally hot while I stumbed over his Kai Z Feng photoshoot. Of course they don't have it here in America, but I heard it was totally racy for our simple standards, haha.

Ohh, yes. It is totally racy for American standards, aha. I found myself thinking, "HOLY CRAP. How in the world can they put this on TV?" But yeah, part of the reason I like it so much is because its uncensored and the plotlines are a lot more believable that way. But I'm a huge dork and totally close my eyes and stuff whenever there's a nude scene, aha.

And Mitch? Soooo adorable and hot. Fersher. He plays the stereotypical "gay guy" on the show, and he's definitely one of my favorite characters<3 Him, Tony, and Cassie. I'm lame and watch the parts that revolve around the characters I like and fast forward through everything else, aha.
