SKINS Series 4 Cast Photos and Preview

Check out some great cast photos and a new preview for Series 4 of SKINS, which premieres on January 28 on E4 (no US date yet). The season will have 8 episodes and will continue the story of the season 3 characters.
Thanks to SkinsBrasil.com (via Critictoo) for the beautiful cast photos, which make me wish Skins was on already (I need my Skins fix).
And did you guys see that new preview? I think we can all agree that it's time for Skins to be back on TV. The only sad thing is that this is the final season for this cast that we have all come to love. And so if we get a fifth season of Skins, it will be with a whole new cast (except for one character which would tie both casts, the way Effie did with the original cast, from what I understand).
Personally, I'm really invested [...]

SKINS Season / Series 4 Previews

SKINS "Everyone" Season 3 Finale Clip

Don't miss the Season 3 finale of SKINS "Everyone" this Thursday at 9pm on BBC America.
While I started out not too sure about the new cast of Skins, throughout this season I have fallen in love with these new characters and love them almost as much as the first group. And by the look of this clip we're going to see more of the Effy, Cook, Freddie love triangle. Can't wait!

Synopsis: SKINS "Everyone" Season 3 Finale - Cook and Effy are in self-imposed exile from the gang, having gone to stay with Cook's father. Effy is running away from everything she's ever known and Cook enables her escape. Problem is, Cook is slowly falling out of lust, and in love with her. Back in Bristol, JJ tries to snap Freddie out of his depressed stupor, down about the loss of both his best friend, and the girl he loves.

SKINS Season 3 Review

After catching up on the first two seasons of SKINS and falling in love with the show, it was time to watch the first three episodes of season 3, which premieres tonight, August 6, at 9pm on BBC America.
Apart from Effy, Tony's sister and Pandora, whom we also met in season 2, the cast from season 1 and 2 is gone and season 3 introduces the second generation of Skins. This new generation includes Effy and Pandora, whom I mentioned above, Thomas Tomone, who just emigrated from the Congo, Katie and Emily Fitch, two very different twin sisters, Naomi Campbell, who is in no way related to the top model, James Cook, Freddie Mclair and JJ Jones, three childhood best friends.
So how does this new generation compare to the first one? Of course, no one will ever be able to replace the first generation, but I was open to [...]

Discovering SKINS

I have a confession to make, when SKINS premiered on BBC America a year ago, I started watching part of the first episode and then just gave up on it.
Why?
Well, it just didn't look like something that I thought I would enjoy because at the time I had so many shows to watch already on my schedule so I wasn't in the mood. Honestly I didn't give Skins a chance.
Fast forward to today (a year later). I recently received some screeners for Season 3 of Skins, which premieres tomorrow, August 6, at 9pm on BBC America, and thought it was time to give the show that has received so many praises another chance.
And so I spent the last week catching up on season 1 and 2 of Skins in order to be able to write my review for season 3.
Well let me tell you, I stand corrected. [...]

SKINS on BBC America Pictures and Videos

Check out some photos and videos for SKINS, BBC America's new comedy drama, which premieres tonight, August 17, at 9pm (regular timeslot will be 10pm starting next week).
Starring Nicholas Hoult (About a Boy, The Weather Man), and with a team of writers averaging the age of 22, the award-winning show is a coming of age story for 2008.
While I haven't actually seen the first episode, I did see quite a few trailers for the show and am intrigued to find out what this show is all about. And the fact that the writers are all pretty young is quite an original way to approach a "teenage show."
Synopsis: "Episode 1" - Tony is a smart 17 year-old. So smart, he believes he can even get his best mate Sid laid, and make a profit - and Abigail's party seems like the perfect place to do both. Inevitably a [...]
