Skins - Blu-ray Forum

detective392 · 10-03-2010, 05:56 AM

Just finished series 3 and 4 and wow I think the show got better with these 2 series then the first 2. I really liked this group way more then the 1st group and think the stories were better more edge of you're seat kinda things and really changed things for them. I'm still shocked that at the end

[Show spoiler]

. I really hope the movie takes place after series 4 so we find out what happened with everyone and not before the end of series 4 where we get no real resolution.

spoiler is from series 4

I just finished series 3, that's all Netflix has.

I actually don't like this group as much as the first, writing either, but I do still like it.

For being identical twins, how is Emily so much cuter than Katie??

That sucks that you can't see series 4 right away as I really enjoyed it. I think I like this group more as I like all the characters when last group I didn't really care for Jal that much or Chris at first but liked him more in series 2. Exactly my thoughts right when I saw the twins I knew Emily was the hotter one of them and I could easily tell them apart.

Tyger · 10-04-2010, 01:18 AM

Jal and Chris both got a lot better in series 2, I agree. In series 3 I don't like pretty mcuh any of the guys. Cook and J.J. just haves faces you want to punch and personalities to match. Effy doesn't seem the same, less likeable. Pandora is Pandora, whatever. Thomas got his one episode and was barely in the rest. Naomi isn't that interesting outside her relationship with Emily.

I dunno. Like I said, I still like it, but I liked the first group more.

Forgot to mention, SEXXBOMB lyrics are hilarious!

Yeah I did like both Jal and Chris a lot better in series 2. I kinda liked the guys but I think Thomas would be my favorite and yeah he doesn't have that much screen time. Effy has definitely changed since series 2 and the SEXXBOMB lyrics were hilarious wish the songs were longer.

Here is the first pic of the US skins cast. Not sure what I think as I don't think the US version will go as far as the UK series goes and I'm not liking some of the US cast right now. Happy they actually got teens for the parts and not adults.

detective392 · 10-22-2010, 09:14 PM

Trailer for the US Skins and usually I'm ok with remakes but wow it's pretty much a carbon copy of the UK series word for word and scene by scene so I'll just stick with the UK series. Also hate how my favorite character Cassie is played by the actress I have no interest in.

I'm surprised that MTV didn't tame the show down for US TV but it does look like a bad copy of the UK series. It's also not for everyone as it's a teen drama but the UK series is way more superior to the US version it looks like.

Everyone should stop judging it before it comes out. Not just here, everywhere. Also, I heard they dropped the gay storyline. I've never seen the so called brilliant UK Skins and I don't think this version looks so bad? I mean The Hard Times of RJ Berger got renewed and had good ratings, that show is absolute dog shit.

Before I saw the trailer I was excited for a US Skins while most fans weren't but after seeing the trailer it's the same exact thing as the UK word for word except the gay guy is now a lesbian. I wanted new stories and plots for the US version not the same exact thing as the UK one. The US one doesn't look bad it's just an exact copy of the UK version.

So I've heard so much about this show Skins, even before the American Remake that I figured I'd FINALLY watch the show. I'm about 10 minutes in to the first episode and WOW there's a lot of cursing in this. lol. But funny cursing, so there's that.

Tony is awesome. I can tell he's going to be one of my favorite characters.

And the girl he's getting to de-V his friend is kinda hot.
