First and second series were good. Others started out bad, but grew on me somehow. Its not great tv, but I enjoy it.

I hated all seasons. Probably the most shallow show i've ever seen. God knows how bad the American version is.

The first two seasons are fantastic. Got bored a couple of episodes into the third season and haven't watched it since.

I loved the first two seasons, and they just kinda went downhill. It's odd. It's a show about some of the most unlikeable people on earth, but by the end of 2 seasons you are really sad to see them go

Season 1 and 2 with the first bunch was the best, it had the best characters and storylines. Season 3 and 4 was decent as well, a few good characters and episodes but didn't match up to the first two seasons. I havn't seen season 5 yet but I havn't heard good stuff about it

Hmm never heard of it. It sounds... like a reference. I mean Skins? Is that a reference to the "skins" people wear or is it a reference to drug use?

Could never get into the whole "British teenage sex-drug drama" getup. It just didn't appeal.

I loved series 1 and 2, one of the best shows I've ever watched. 3 and 4 were alright once I got used to them, but nothing will ever replace the original cast. I wish they'd stretched them out longer. I won't watch the american version whatsoever.

If you want a perfect misinterpretation of a teenagers life in the UK watch skins. I know people that smoke weed & have plenty of fun under the sheets & get drunk. But the way it's portrayed in skins is just stupid and it's as if there glorifying that lifestyle as oppossed to highlighting the negative effect. Personally I think it's a pointless show and all it does is stereotype teens. The stories are just stupid & terrible pretty much every episode is the same just with a different character.

I say if you want a good TV show about teenage life watch the inbetweeners. It's funny, the cast is likeable, stories are good & it seems like a better interpretation of teenage life.

Admittedly I haven't seen a lot from it but the entire premise makes me want to puke. Though I could stand to watch the earlier series for Mitch Hewer, I suppose.

yea...except for the part where people..you know...die and stuff. but really, you're complaining about it being unrealistic compared to real life? dude, its for entertainment. News flash, a show which was a good representation of normal teenagers would be boring as sin.

It's a reference to joint paper. The teens in the show smoke a lot of weed.

I loved the British version and hated the American version. The American one has horrible actors.
