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....
