Skins

Skins is a teenage drama/comedy series, which was first shown on 25th January 2007, on E4. The series, from the same people that made Shameless (another channel 4 production), focuses on a group of adolescent teens in Bristol, and follows their adventures, trials and tribulations growing up in a modern Britain. Each episode is focussed around one of the individual characters specifically, and provides an insight of how they behave and how they see the world.

I love to see a great teen show which really causes so much controversy, in my eyes it means it's well worth watching. And this series truly is well worth watching! It follows a group of teenagers in Bristol through their two year life at Sixth form and everything else which happens to them besides. These include your typical dramas like love, love lost, parental problems, betrayal, sex, prtying and drugs. But all in a format which I don't think we've really seen before (in my limited lifetime anyway).
