SKINS
So Skins, the best show ever, just started its third season a couple weeks ago. For those of you who aren’t cool like me and have never heard of it before, it’s a British teen drama about a bunch of fucked up kids getting into ridiculously fucked up situations.
What I like best about the show is that it has the right amout of realism and fantasy. There’s regular run-of-the-mill fucked up moments like when the crazy alcoholic Cook drinks 4 beers before his first day of college. I mean, we’ve all been there.
And then there’s crazy shit like when when Cook and his mates crash a party that a local gangster is hosting for his daughter’s engagement and he ends up getting thrown off the balcony by said gangster. Then later, at a whorehouse, Cook runs into the gangster getting a little s&m action and beats up/blackmails the guy while he’s tied down.
And these kids are only 17.
The OC was for pussies. I don’t want to see a bunch of rich kids prancing around in their mansions and *drinking* alcohol, I want to see some gangster shit. And Degrassi was alright but there always had to be some dumb moral lesson at the end, like not to take esctasy or meet older men online.
Skins WANTS you to take ecstasy. And sleep around. Watching that show just really makes me want to go out and get into trouble.
