We’re not very impressed by MTV’s Skins remake trailer

Brace yourselves Skins fans – the first trailer for the new US remake has made its way on to the internet.

We’re going to say it now, we  don’t like the look of it. It’s nowhere near as cool, gritty or edgy as the original. Maybe we’re being overly patriotic or something, but MTV’s Americanised version makes us cringe, we can’t help but think that the UK’s version is about a million times better. Perhaps it’s just too weird seeing new actors playing the parts of characters that we’ve come to know and love, or maybe MTV has sapped out everything that made the original series so special.

Of course it could be that we’re being far too harsh. Watch the trailer and then tell us what you think....

    this is so awful, i was cringing the whole way through. and that was only a couple of minutes worth! it takes away everything that Skins is about. I hate it.

    they could have at least attempted to be original. BUT NO. all they did is change the more obscure names to appeal to the US audience. fail.

    there is actually no point in this at all, basically the only difference is the STUPID american accent. i didnt realise they were remaking it exactly like our skins. why can they not just air the english version and BE FUCKING HAPPY with it. it will be the same story with the inbetweeners too... dicks.

    I thought they were going to make a completely different show but make it like skins. I had no idea they were going to copy all the storylines, characters and dialogue from the UK skins, it basically just UK skins turned crap!
