I saw original Skins a year ago.I was attracted by well written script,colorful characters,actors who gave gave their best performances.
Skins USA is bad because miss the point of Skins.Teens in Skins should be realistic,original,funny. Biggest flaw is not making this USA version of Skins. You can not make them same with same characters and same dialogs and slang like Skins from U.K. Two different countries,two different complete different cultures. It's just one of these things you can't remake.
Teens are always doing crazy things like using drugs,having sex when the are too young,drinking.It was easier to just copy script and not make effort to write new script.It could have been excellent show about realistic lives of American teenagers. This USA Skins is semi-realistic lives of U.K teens played by American actors with American slang and accents.Performance of the cast is just very bad.
Also I believe lot of realism is lost by cutting down nudity and censor swearing. Instead parents try to censor Skins just because it's easier to censor everything on TV then sit down and talk openly with their kids about sex,drugs,eating disorders,drinking...
I'm angry Maxxi isn't in Skins.There is no Skins without Anwar-Maxxi friendship.No Maxxi means no Sketch who is one of most interesting character in Skins.
score 1/10
