The
second season (or series, as they call it in the U.K.) of teen drama
Skins premiered in February and I'm already hooked. The show revolves
around a group of eight college students in Bristol. I like to think of
it as Degrassi, but even darker. The show's writers and producers are
not afraid to touch on issues such as mental illness and drug abuse,
and the show gained prominence for its graphic portrayals of
promiscuity and drug and alcohol use. If all of this sounds like a
downer, well, it is. But when the show goes for the laughs, its charm
keeps the viewers hooked.
Be sure to check out Nicholas
Hoult of About a Boy-fame all grown up! In the U.S., you can find
episodes of Skins on YouTube or the Skins fan forum skinsis.com.
