I'm not into Soap Operas...never watched them B4. But the show "SKINS" on BBC America has me soooo hooked I gave up crack and that I-30 stuff!

A really cool show! Watch it! [Wink]

I've seen a couple of episodes of it when it originally aired over here, I didn't really get into it. I'll have to sit and watch it some time.

I watched the first season last year. The season finale for that one was pretty good. [Smile]

Season [Series] 2 was not as good as the first.

I try to catch it anytime it is on, great show. I like how stations like FX and BBCA are finally releasing 1 hr adult dramas/comedies instead of the reality shit that usually comes from cable and network TV.

Show I try to follow:
Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia
Nip/Tuck, although it has gotten a bit out there in the past couple of seasons.
Rescue Me
Skins

It's filmed in the city where I live and a few of the cast turned out to the opening of my current theater. It's always fun picking out locations you walk by every day.

Skins is a very good show. Lots of action, good plot and comedy, and well played by the actors. Doesn't hide away from showing sex drugs and violence as well which is so annoying in tame dramas. Only problem is it is a little bit of a middle-class sob story in parts.
