Skins

I watched the first two episodes of Skins the other day. I thought the show was well put together and was surprised that it was rated so low in IMDB (2/5 out of 10) compared to the British version (8.8 out of 10). Makes me want to watch the British Version!

I'm a big one for titles. If the title of a book or movie doesn't make sense it irritates me and I'll like the book or film less. I know, I'm weird, but there it is. That's one thing that I thought was cool about Skins—"skin" is another name for cigarette wrapping paper but it also refers to teenagers not being comfortable in their own skin. I thought it was clever.
