My New Favorite TV Show
I've just recently been hipped to this amazing British show called Skins -- which was described to me as "Degrassi done right." It's a pretty damn incredible teen drama. The first sesson is coming out on DVD in the US this January, but there are some full episodes on Google Video, including the very first episode of the series which is embedded below:
One of these days, I'll really have to put some thought into writing a real essay about why this show is so damn brilliant.

does that mean i need to pirate some episodes to watch before you swing back through chicago?
Wait, are you saying that Degrassi was done wrong? Any show where a character gets gonorrhea of the mouth is pretty right in my book.
Degrassi was pretty great in the day, though I haven't watched it recently enough to say just how well I think it holds up -- though I imagine the answer is pretty decently, but with some things that, of course, feel dated. Skins is definitely in that same class (no pun intended) of smart and relevant and well-written teen drama.
I'm definitely going to try and find Skins. Maybe I'll alternate watching it and Degrassi: The Next Generation.
And even though the pun was unintended, it worked out fine, just fine.
if you look for it on the internet i guarantee you find plenty of porn and not what you're looking for. maybe i'll post some of the episodes to the blog. but uploading video to the web takes too fucking long. i'll tell you that.........
