The 5th season of the UK series Skins premiered on E4 last night, introducing a new cast of characters on the show. As you may know, MTV premiered the US version of Skins a couple of weeks ago which, IMHO, is just an embarrassingly bad copy of the far superior original series. I was able to watch last night’s premiere of Skins online and was immediately impressed with the episode in the first 2 minutes. The show is that good.

I have watched all 4 seasons of the UK version of Skins and am well aware of how excellent the writing is but I continue to be impressed by how fantastic the acting is. Without exaggeration, it is painful to watch the totally amateurish acting on the US version but it is an absolute delight to watch the British actors on the show. Episode 1 of season 5 was centered on the character Frankie who dealt with severe bullying at her previous school and hopes to avoid repeat treatment at her new school. Because she looks different, she is an immediate lightening rod for teasing. It’s not totally clear where the story this season will end up but I really do like the way things got started. If I can impart one piece of advice that I wish all of you would take to heart, it’s that you MUST watch the original version Skins (all 5 seasons) and try to avoid the US version at all costs. The UK version is just so good, I promise … it is one of the best TV shows on the air right now. The show is available on Netflix here in the US and the new season can be streamed online (if you know where to look). I am just so glad that Skins is back with new eps. I can’t wait to watch more.

Last night, David and I trekked down to Manhattan Beach with our friend Michael so that we could all meet Emma’s sister Chelsea who is visiting from San Francisco. She is a total doll and we all loved her immediately. We all had a great dinner at Pancho’s and then enjoyed a short walk along the beach before we came home. ‘Twas a fun night, indeed.

Not sure what the plan is for tonight … but it’s Friday so, I’m sure we’ll think of something fun. I hear talk of a trip to Disneyland tomorrow. Happy Weekend!!
