Season 1 Review:
What keeps it from being exploitative--just--is the sense that these kids know such dangerous exhilaration won't, can't, lead to the happiness they're looking for. [31 Jan 2011, p.40]

Season 1 Review:
While it may lack the charm (and perfect casting) of the British show, it's still worth a gander.

Season 1 Review:
Plopped down in Baltimore, the loose-living adolescents in MTV's seemingly line-for-line version don't actually feel American, no matter what their accents are, and the plots that always struck me as more teen movie than teen reality seem no more realistic than, say, "Gossip Girl."

Season 1 Review:
Skins is so determined to relate to hardened kids--without sermon, theme or context--that it accidentally discovers a new frontier in phoniness and filth. Even if I could warp time and watch it as my teenaged self, I'm pretty sure I would have been bored by it back then, too--even with all the sex.

I love this series I know that it’s a spin off of the uk skins but it’s so well made

La versión americana no llega al nivel de la original inglesa. No cala en la juventud americana ni en la europea. Pero, desde luego, es una buena serie y consigue enganchar.
