Skins US was such a mess... I mean, let's be frank here only Britne Oldford was a talented actress, I thought Camille Cresencia-Mills and Danny Flaherty did well enough and Rachel Thevenard looked great and improved with each episode but the rest were just so bloody hopeless. I can't believe that Sofia Black-D'Elia is still out there scoring roles. Again I thought that the problem was that European and U.S. youth culture can't really be transferred 1:1 ... so all the episodes where they didn't make any changes really tanked in my opinion. There were some cute scenes and some things I liked but those were usually things where they really diverted from the UK version.

For me it's fun to see all three versions as I went to school in all three countries at some point between ages 15 and 18. So, yeah... anyway. I mean watching it all in such close succession now shows you the nuances I guess.

No, haven't heard of THOROUGHBREDS, will have to search for the trailer asap! Thanks for the suggestion.
