Waiting for Skins...

I think it's not exagerated to say that "Skins" is almost a real phenomenon. A british show preceded by such a buzz doesn't land on our TVs everyday. This 2007 show broadcast on E4 (Channel 4's premium TV) seriously rejuvenated TV in the UK.

The pitch? Some typecast UK characters from Bristol: the saddist player, the addict party-boy infatuated with his teacher, the blonde gay twink who tap dances, the eating-disorder always high girl, the still-virgin geek, the flute-playing nerdy black girl, the Pakistanese girls-obsessed teenager... They're all in the most improbable situations that are not to be taken on the first degree. "Skins" is not necessarily the most suitable show for young viewers.

One of the "Skins" key recipe is probably its impeccable production: shot like a feature movie with Hollywood budgets, "Skins" is a lab of ideas for the MTV generation, only better!
