What did you think of the new MTV Series, "Skins"?

This Monday, MTV's newest drama series, Skins, premiered with about 3 millions viewers tuning in that night! This is a remake of the controversial and very popular British series of the same name! However, many viewers weren't so pleased with the US version. Many saying that some of the aspects that made the UK version a hit, were lacking on the US. However, the angst, drugs, sex, and alcohol was obviously present throughout the show. Many character's were also changed. For instance, Stanley's name is actually Sid on the UK version and Cadie's name is really Cassie in the UK. But the most drastic change is the fact that one character was actually replaced in the US series. And that is Maxxie, a gay male who was replaced by Tea, a lesbian cheerleader. After I watched the US version, I watched the first episode of the UK version on Netflix and I could tell that basically the whole US episode was a play-by-play of the UK version's first episode. Except with different characters, and a few changes throughout the settings. If you would like to see for yourself and you have a Netflix account, you can get Seasons 1-3 of the UK version instantly! If you missed the US version, you can catch it online or check MTV.com for future airings!
