Perhaps MTV thought we wouldn't notice, but the "American" version of Skins is actually the Canadian version of Skins. I guess to MTV that Toronto looks exactly like Baltimore. To people, though, it really doesn't.
Worse yet, it's a word for word remake of the original rather than a truly new version with very noticeably Canadian accents. It would have been easy to get a new cast, film in the US, and write new scripts relevant to US kids that have the same themes as the UK version. There are plenty of great stories of American teen reprobate, but Canadian Skins opts instead to just repeat the same story lines, scenes and characters that made the original great, but without the same impact, ingenuity or power.
This is an unnecessary failure. I had high hopes as I loved the UK teen soap opera. This is a soulless pile of garbage replete with the main kid mimicking the original Tony's wise ass smile. So disappointed.
