I am writing this review for people who have seen Skins USA season one and who are thinking about buying Skins UK series one. I know that Skins UK was made before Skins USA but I saw the USA version first so for me Tony Chris and Michelle in The US are the same as Tony Chris and Michelle in The UK version But Stanley in the US is Sid in the UK. Cadie in the US is Cassie in the UK. Abbud in the US is Anwar in the UK Tony's little sister Eura in the US is Tony's little sister Effie in the UK. Tea a lesbian girl in the US is Maxxie a gay boy in the UK. I never saw the USA version of the Tony episode but I think the versions are pretty similar. In UK version Tony tries to get Sid to lose his virginity. In episode two of Skins UK Cassie is a people pleaser with an eating disorder who likes Sid. Jal in the Uk is musically talented and has parent issues but her home life is very different from her USA counterpart Daisy. Jal faces racism at school hidden in the flowery words of an authority figure. The Chris episode in the UK is almost the exact same as the Chris episode in the USA. The Sid episode is very similar to the Stanley episode with school and Dad issues but things take a different turn coming home the Choir Concert. In The UK version Anwar and Maxxie share an episode. It is a lot like the USA version of the Abbud episode with a funny school field trip but in the UK version it is also about trying to understand homosexuality along with religious beliefs. In the Michelle episode of UK Skins Michelle still feels betrayed but something really sick happens that sets into motion something even sicker that happens to Tony's little sister Effie in the next episode. This storyline is so perverse and puking scary that it could never happen to Eura in the USA version. The UK writing is brilliant! The Skins UK first series finale was very different from the USA first season finale In the Skins UK series one finale things go very differently with Chris and the teacher, in other news friendship is restored, there is romance, and a jaw dropping Cliffhanger involving Tony! In the UK version of Skins there is drinking, drugging, nudity, and The F word is a part of everyday conversation. The extras on the DVD are short stories involving the characters. The Bottom line is if you loved the first Season of Skins USA then you will love Skins Series one in the UK. Buy The first series of Skins UK Today!Read full review

I watched the American version first, and got so upset when they stopped after one season. My boyfriend who I started dating about a year after I had seen skins told me it was a knock off of a british version and they were currently making a sixth season of it. I was so happy I thought I would cry. There are slght differences but overall the same exact show. So happy to have this in my collection of movies 3
I can't believe people compare this with Gossip Girl. It's nothing like Gossip Girl. The kids from Skins actually look like teenagers, act like normal teenagers, and it's much better in many ways. Anyhow, I beiieve this is more like the UK version of degrassi, or something similar. This is a hilarious yet bitter-sweet drama and leaves you wanting more.
