"Skins" Reviewed
So after much hype, I watched "Skins" on Netflix streaming video.
Love that, by the way. Makes my decision to buy a PS3 so much more grown up.
Who knows how long until the interview hits Netflix, but to you, my bretheren, -
'So I heard all the hype about the show, and could barely make it through the first episode.
Dumb kids doing drugs, trying to shag or get shagged, doing dumb things to other dumber richer kids, and oh, yeah....
All the adults are idiots who want to kill or shag the lead. Who even for the English, is not that beautiful a boy.
"Trainspotting Babies" just isn't worth watch.'
An afterhought- I;ve seen a sampling of the English counterculture product- "London Kills Me", "The Acid House", "Dead Babies", ("Mood Trippers" here in the States), "The 51st State" ("Formula 51" here in the States), and a lot of it is just not that appealing. Oh, we're all so dead, and decrepit and life is awful and all so high on drugs.
Formula 51 and Trainspotting stood out. They had a vitality and a point the others just didn't have.
Sorry, "Skins" fans. I'm not saying I'm tired of alienated drugged out youth, just need something more interesting than this.
