Angela has been trying to get me to watch her new favorite show Skins with her for weeks and I finally caved today and agreed to watch since she babysat for me last night while I went and watched the fights with Bur and Trent. After dinner, I made myself comfortable on the couch with my laptop and told her I was ready to watch. I didn’t say how much I was going to watch because I wasn’t really sure and didn’t want to talk myself into any sort of agreement with her on how long I’d sit there. To tell the truth, I was expecting to hate it.

Now, it’s 2:40AM and I just got done watching 7 episodes back to back. I really liked it a lot. It brings back a lot of great memories of High School. *wink*

This is a description of the show from Wikipedia:

Skins is a British teen drama that follows a group of teenagers in Bristol, South West England through the two years of sixth form. The controversial plot line explores issues such as dysfunctional families, personality disorders, eating disorders, mental illness, homosexuality, and death. The show was created by father and son television writers Bryan Elsley and Jamie Brittain for Company Pictures,[1] and premiered on E4 on 25 January 2007.[2]

The show is notable for its casting of amateur actors and young writers. The cast are entirely replaced every two series, when the characters leave sixth form. Skins has broadcast four series, and has been commissioned up to a sixth. A Skins film is also in production, as well as an American adaptation by MTV, set in Baltimore, Maryland.
