I haven't watched too much of Skins, mainly only bits from the first and second season. But which do you avid fans out there prefer, the 'old' crowd or the 'new' lot?

Hmm...that's a really good question. I actually really like the second group of kids, mainly because I always liked the character of Effy from the original cast. But I am partial to the original ones. If we could have kept them and had Freddie and Effy on, that would have been fine by me. But could do without Pan and Thomas and the twins and Naomi and JJ lol!

Thing is, I'm a big fan of Pandora, she cracks me up. But Effy is a fantastic character. Tony and Michelle were great, too, and I definitely really miss Sid. I think I'd lean towards the first generation though.

I watched series 3 first and loved it, mainly because of Naomi and Emily's storyline but I loved Effy too, not so much Cook but I think Jack is a brilliant actor. I only finished watching Series 1 & 2 a couple of weeks ago and I thought it was great (and made a lot better, especially S1) but because of N&E and the fact that I saw S3 first, I'll always prefer the 2nd gen ;D

From what I saw of seasons one and two, the only person I really liked was Chris (I think that's his name) and I honestly could not stand Cassie. I thought she was totally unbelieveable and unrealistic and it made me angry to have to watch her. lol

I actually thought Cassie was brilliant. Hannah Murray did far better with a really difficult character than anyone could have asked for.

But she wasn't 'real' enough for me. I just sat there the whole time thinking 'I don't know anyone who's actually like that' (doesn't mean people aren't) and even if they were they probably wouldn't be part of that circle of friends. I just got irritated by her wishy washy presence.

The thing is, she wasn't part of the group. She was someone they new from college that was invited to the party specifically so Sid would have a date. IIRC, she wasn't completely intended to last beyond that episode when the part was first written.

I liked Season 1 and thought Season 2 was alright but Season 3 is my favourite. I have watched the new season and i dunno i just didn't think 4 was as good as 3 but still liked it. So i think i prefer the new cast to the old ones.

I had started watching this and enjoyed it rather quickly. Just saw an MTV promo was wondering if anyone saw this? Are they making an American Version?

Here's a new promo for MTV's Skins, titlted "Reverse Party." I have to admit, there's a lot more drug use than I was expecting. I also spotted some girl on girl kissing. But it still doesn't seem to have the magic that the original had. www.mtv.com/videos/?id=1652794

I've only seen the first few episodes of Series One, but I loved what I saw, and really need to finish it before the American one premieres in January.

I have been seeing the promos a lot on MTV. I will give it a shot and see how I like it I bet I will but who knows.
Pacey I am on Series 2 now I am going to try to finish before the American version premieres as well. I can't wait to get to series 3 it has a lot of good comments.

Are you going to watch the premiere on Monday? And if you are, have you seen the original? And if you have, doesn't is seem like MTV is basically copying and pasting the original onto the remake? I'm going to give it a chance and I really hope that they take a step away from the original and make it their own, otherwise, why not just watch the original? And what the hell is going on with no Maxxie? You Americans make me feel like a parent protecting their child.
There are already three, including this one (Skins, Shameless and Being Human), shows that you're taking and trying to make your own and I really hope you do.
