Yeah, I'm...really not even sure if I'm going to give it a chance. It looks awful.

I am absolutely sure I am not going to give it a chance! WHAT. What the hell. There are so many wrongs with this picture I cannot even.

1) Are the playing it exactly the same? Because why are they even remaking it if that's what going to happen? What is the point except to be terrible?
2) Let's not discuss the actors. Let's just not.
3) Why is Maxxie a girl. Why. Terrible decisions I cannot deal with. I don't even know how they can do the Maxxie and Anwar episode with him as a girl (everything involving Tony in that episode will either have to be changed or turn out about 90 billion times skeevier).

1. Yes, yes they are. Maybe it'll be like The Office and it'll just be the first episode? Because otherwise it's even more a waste of space than I thought.
2. This
3. I have zero idea, but it makes me cry.

It seems like a colossal waste of time and money. Surely they could have just subtitled the UK version for people who were having Issues with the Accent.

Exactly. I really don't understand why this is being made.

Ugh, another US remake?!!! Its getting ridiculous how writers from the US can't come up with an original concept nowadays. I've never seen the UK version of Skins, but I have a feeling the US version will never measure up!!!

It's quite good! I mean absolutely crazy (some of the things these writers come up with 0_o) but it manages to be emotionally gripping television. I'd try it if you have some free time. We can boggle at the writers decisions together! (I don't want to spoil you but seriously. I was spoiled for the first season finale and I was still in a state of WHAT when I saw it). The US remake is a travesty not to be borne. >( Get your own television America. It's not that hard. Heck, just quit cancelling every show you have that takes the slightest bit of time to build up a fanbase and you'd be fine.

Oooh, I think when I have more time, I'll do just that. I can't get enough of British tv so what's one more.

Amen to this!!! Its really disturbing how easy the networks dismiss shows when they can't muster up enough viewers. That's why I have a feeling that in a couple years time, network tv will just die away, replaced by cable tv shows!
