For those of you that are missing skins this is just as brilliant. IT has the same basic theme ... teenage disaters but the characters are slightly less cool which gives rise to even more laughs.
The main character , will , has just moved from a posh private school to the local high school, as his parents have divorced. The first episode sees his hysterical attempts to make friends. He manages this ...just and although their not the cool kids thier better than the geeks. Following episode see the gang trying and failing to meet girls, buy alcohol and stoy out of the way of the school bully.
There is both obvious and dry humour and anyone under 30 will watch this and remember similar events from there own school days. You will totally be able to empathise with the characters, laugh at them, cringe at them and hope they get the girls.
If you are a skins fan then you will definately enjoy this, as the more natural characters gives more scope for embarrassing situations. If you weren't into skins then i would still urge you to give this a go as it is less extreme, no heavy drug use, and unfortunately for the characters less sex.
