Yeah, I saw that one but figured it wasn't the trailer that everyone had posted. It must show up eventually, right? Or maybe I'll just have the pleasure of being ~unspoiled.
The pilot wasn't super exciting, but I think there's a lot of potential, and that ~is exciting. I was least thrilled with Tony; a lot of his line delivery was really awkward, but I do like that it's a different approach to the character and I think he'll get better. Tea was awesome, Cadie was awesome, I think Daisy and Chris are both going to be great, and I prefer Abbud to Anwar. I'm really attached to UK!Michelle, so for me, they're big shoes to fill, but I really like Rachel and think US!Michelle is going to end up being awesome. (MTE on Eura.)
The majority of the adult actors were TERRIBLE. Tony's dad, just, I can't even.
Glad so many people have fallen on the tentatively hopeful side of things. I don't have a youtube link for the Tea preview, but suffice it to say that it looks like it's going to be fucking awesome. \O/
Oh my God, I'd forgotten about the adults. The thing that's fun about the parents in the UK version is that they're all (or mostly) pretty well-known British comic actors, whereas they obviously just picked some awful randoms for the Snyders. (Not that I was expecting well-known actors in this, but the difference was pretty stark.)
I really feel like next week is when US!Skins is really going to show us what it's made of, and I can't wait. Even without seeing the trailer I think it's going to be great! (LOL unintentional rhyme.)
It's unfortunate, because despite some ridiculously over-the-top moments with adult characters in the UK version, there's also been some really great ones, and I don't think we're gonna get that in the US version. Oh well.
I'm really stoked they chose to make ep 2 original. I understand the reasoning behind the pilot being so similar, and keeping some storylines throughout the series, but it's nice that they're just sort of kicking it out of the nest and seeing if it can do its own thing.
Thanks! I'm really intrigued about who the secondary character will be. And I feel like it's weird that they're apparently ending on Eura, just because for some reason I keep forgetting she even exists.

It looks as though Tea's episode is going to be super gay, though. I'm excited.

Super gay is what I'm looking for, so yay!
