  • I'm from the US, and I'm not even going to watch the US version based on this alone. The UK version sounds half as forced, and twice as entertaining. I'm only on season 2, and I'm beyond hooked. Won't even waste my time on the US version.

  • either way I have watched both, I think series 3 is the best. and fuck it im gonna try to watch beyblades or some other retro japanese cartoon. japanese cartoons>other shit

  • Not just saying this because im from the UK. But everyone saying the US version is better needs to actually watch the UK version before making a judgement. The actors are better, Its much more natural and "un-posed" and there are much more episodes to watch.

  • lol, the US version sounds as if they just read off their lines...

  • I'm from the US but I like the UK version much better. MTV slaughtered it.

  • Skins UK

  • clicking this link just so that I can comment :L

    WTF. SKINS US IS JUST SO SH*T. America doesn't know what it is to be an english teenager. It's completely different, and what's the point in copying everything about the english version? why don't you just watch the british version anyway? can you not understand the way we speak? cause that's unfortunate, because you kind speak that language aswell.

    SKINS UK FTW. EVERYTIME.

  • The creator of the UK Skins created the US Skins as well

  • Skins US is fucking shit... UK ALLLL THE WAY!

  • skins US is really shit

  • The UK Version is waaaay better. Serious. I hate the US Version sorry.. :/

  • US SKins is shiiiiiiittttt. UK is better

  • I watched USA Skins first and loved the show then got very very very very very bummed when it got cancelled. I then gave the UK version a try and just stopped watching it after the first episode because all i could picture was the USA one that i wanted more seasons : (

  • @iTzxZac leave.

  • being from canada, i probably should like the US skins more, but naww, the UK skins all the fucking waaaay

  • They remade skins for the US because Americans couldn't understand what they we're saying in their accents and slangs, Are they that stupid? To not understand what they are saying? I hope that isn't the vast majority of America.

  • @woahXgirl94 it's because of the slang. it's a lot more different then you'd think and it's hard because they talk so fast with the accent you have to get used to it.

  • I loved Skins US and I didnt see the UK version yet. I can change my opinion, but for now, US is being incredible :) I'm brazilian and I hate USA, but Skins (US) is very good lol

  • I would have rather them not doing the exact same story lines as the UK.

  • Don't get why everyone hates on the US skins.. it was good. I enjoyed watching it anyway.

  • @DaNeShady90 watch the real version and you will know why you sound like a fucking moron

  • the american accent just murders everything they are saying hahaha. UK skins all the way

  • @foulmouthedyouths UK skins all the way indeeeeed :D

  • usa skins looks like crap! haha and im from the us! haha i love the uk one tho! Fricken brilliant!

  • everyones like omg uk soooo much better but as you can see its exactly the same?? us is more offensive and entertaining but uk is good becuz it goes on longer. GET OVER IT 

  • @704to757to573 Americans like to copy everyone cuz they no longer have good ideas. All the actors in Skins UK are much better, much more strong in presence. The US skin kids look like they are "posers", kids trying to be bad. The UK skins kids were natural.

  • @704to757to573 its not cause it goes on longer, its cause EVERY season is different and every season has a hundred themes in 8 episodes and the only thing to ocme close is breaking bad..

  • Skins US .l. Esta del asco ¬¬' Ninguna serie se compara a SKINS UK

  • the u.s. kids look so much more skeezy to me. if that's even a word haha

  • im american, and the US version doesnt even come close to the UK version. i hate american remakes. why cant we just be content with foreign films?!?!?!?

  • UK alllll the FUCKING way. That's all.

  • UK version's better.

  • UK!!!!

  • Oh god, US is horrible lol.

  • Am I the only one who thinks Skins U.K. sucked? I didn't even get half-way through the first episode because I was completely annoyed by horrible quality and annoying characters.

  • skins us motherfuckers!!!

  • uk > us. and i live in the us.

  • why is maxxie a girl?

  • UK version of course

  • UK Skins...the us version shouldn't even get anything not even worth ignoring.

  • UK UK UK

  • definitly skins UK!!!! the US is a fucking bad copy!!!

  • wouldnt it be cheaper if they just showed the actual uk one? instead of having to go through the trouble of casting, finding places to film, buying props, not to mention all the staff is requires. Plus, watching the uk one is much better

  • c Кейси и Сидом никто несравниться!

  • LOL! Wow they totally just ripped off the episode. They really could have created a different plot. This is just so much fail. Def UK Skins since they did it first!

  • I hate it when the U.S. take something and make it Hollywood. Look at the programme for what it is, it's about the awkwwardness of growing up and some of the things life MAY through at you. Leave Hollywood out and adapt the programme accordingly. We may be cousins, but cousins don't have identical lives. So take the storyline and look at how growing up in the U.S. is you you.

  • @4svennie

    The English creator is the one who brought to the US. He wrote the US version too. It was his idea to bring it to the States, moron.

  • @NotTheOrleansMaid Thanks for the moron bit, nice touch. Maybe if the writer had sat down with the U.S. equivalent it may of translated better. British life doesn't directly translate into U.S. life. Take care and have an enjoyable day.

  • @4svennie I agree this was something I was gonna say. There are some similarities between US and UK youth but I would say there VERY small. America is really a different world compared to the UK. They should have adapted it to American life.

  • @elm1230 Cheers mate. It's happened with many things namely Skins, Being Human, The Office, etc...

  • im australian...UK all the way...wtf is the USA verison doing existing its so shit

  • US version - shit rip off.

  • they both look like total crap..

  • uk

  • UK is way better coming from an american

  • lol skins US is shit

  • uk... obviously

  • Tony in the US version sounds like a premature twat...

  • us sid is hot... wtf?

  • Im dutch I think Uk version is WAY better.

  • as if there was ever a competition...

  • UK WINS because the US one looks shit

  • ok i have never seen the US version and now im glad i didnt cuz it sucks and i dont get y they made it exactly the same

  • Of course UK people are going to think the UK version is better and US people will think the US version is. Because the UK version is adapted to the life of someone in the UK and the US version fits American teens more. That's why they adapted it.

  • @Coltsnid I think you'll find a lot of Americans saying they like Skins UK better, because it is better and they have sense

  • Only thing that looks REMOTELY decent in the US version is thier version of Michelle.

    But her accent...

    T_T

  • The US skins is offensive

  • @Isssbomb skins uk are better because they were made before skins us, but the same dude made uk skins and us skins

  • @Isssbomb UK skins is way awesomer :)

  • wow US looksssss sooo shitty

  • holy crap!!!!!! SKINS US really suck!!!!!

  • I'm American and I watched the whole season of Skins U.S. after watching only a few episodes of the U.K. version. After the U.S. season was over, I decided to give the U.K. version another shot and I thought it was so much better and so much more real. Go U.K. version!!!!!! Plus their accents really help ;)

  • you take me for a complete james blunt don't you...lmaoo

  • THERE WONT BE ANOTHER EFFY !!

  • i only watched the first episode of the American version, to me it just looked like a watered down version of the UK skins. but for me anyway the main problem is simply the UK is the original. if the US did it first i would probably prefer that. also it's kinda hard not to compare the two when it's pretty much the same script! i think the american version would do much better if they just took the general concept and did their own thing. :)

  • UK!!!

  • Piss of America and get your own bloody ideas! You've already ruined shows like The Office and countless other great shows which you *cough cough* borrowed from us. Did you know they're going to make American versions of The Inbetweeners, The Vicar Of Dibley and Only Fools And Horses!? Can't wait to see how they're gonna ruin them!

  • @MetalBru01 you say that like america as a whole country came over and murdered the tv shows. making huge generalizations like that is rude. obviously as you can see in the comments below, more than a handful of people from america love skins U.K. and dislike the U.S. version. and we could argue back in forth but honestly your comment was offensive and your in the wrong.

  • @QUINN3045 My comment was offensive and rude? Awwwww, poor baby. Would you like me to call the wambulance?

  • Skin UK for ever :>

    <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

  • Skins UK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...and i could only see the show through netflix cause i dont think they show it in the us

  • skins uk! i think the acting in the us one seems really fake and unrealistic.... uk acting is better.

  • well , skins uk is very good , different , because they have anorexics and maxxie , and skins US is different beacuse they have lesbians and the history about tony and tea , it's not the same that tony and maxxie , I like the two ,but I stay with uk :)

  • WHY IS THERE US VERSION ??? WHY ?

  • well the first episode had so many similarities, however after that the episodes were completely different besides chris and the season finale was fucking nuts crazy on the UK version like the dude wanted tony to sleep with his own sister YUCK

  • The U.S version is better.

  • "UK rip off" as an American I can't see why a US version had to be made, "it's shit"

  • if your from the US your gonna relate to the US version much better. im sorry but the UK version sucks. the US version actually shows the teenage life with the use of drugs, and party life. The UK version just beats around the bush to much. Thats why the US version got canceled..

  • @Justinkz3895 the us version is terrible! cannot act and is so cheesy! uk version is much more realistic and is what actually happens in life, so i have to disagree, you are wrong. the us should not try live up to the standards

  • That's the stupidest thing, why would you make the EXACT same thing as the first season? The concept could've worked if they changed everything instead of just Maxxie and Jal. Very stupid thing to do, MTV, that's why it failed.

  • Skins UK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And the best

  • did they get rid of Maxxie?! wtf?! probably because he was gay?

  • @CrazyLiam123 No, that cheerleader girl is a lesbian (the one who "replaced" Maxxie.

  • @CrazyLiam123 just for that,looks like US wanted to see a lesbian on the screen and just for that they make their own version of the show.

  • Okay, what I'm seeing from this US version, the acting is shit. I'm American, and I can tell you, I'm so in love with the UK Skins. SOOO good.

  • seen every season of the UK, and its good. but i perfer skins US, because it has the more american style for us americans. really wish the show continued, it had potential to be a great show with a great cast with great scernarios. will miss it, but oh well. does anyone agree?

  • @Austeenob agree?not really.

    what do you mean with "american style"?,is it too much difference?.

    they just change some details, the end, and turn the gay character into a lesbian.

  • @emiliomon94 i just related to the way they talked, the music, and some of the situations more. i guess you can say i can relate to americans better. but yea, the end was terrible because show was cut

  • @emiliomon94 plus i liked that change more, she was a foxx, so hot

  • @Austeenob she was hot,but that its not excuse to make another version of the show!

    looks like US just wanted to see hot lesbians and they make their own version just for that.

    this version is pretty much for girls than the UK version,michelle is like the main chacter,the gay character turn into a lesbian,they make tony act as an idiot, and the teacher have her own episode. :S

  • @emiliomon94 nah tony still had the most stories i'd say. i rather hear about the lesbian story then the gay one.... but i think the US one could of been betttter deffiantly im not disagreeing, the censorship is insane. it could of been more graphic, and if it continued im sure season 2 could of got more intresting and original. it ended badly cause it was cut. i see where your coming from tho.. long story short.. i liked hearing american accents.. american characters and modern music!!

  • @Austeenob well,justly the only big difference is the lesbian,this people make looks US like pople who dont acept gays but they like lesbian,why?just cause she is hot,or to see girls kissing each other,or maybe more than that.

    I can understand you like the accent, but the "american characters" and the background music is meaningless excuses! Just details in my opinion. :/

  • @emiliomon94 oh well :p and the music is awesome in skins US. skin UK has cool music too, just not in the first season, because it was made in 07 and electronic wasnt big then. but i mean, i like them both alot, UK had better actors (michelle was the only smokkkking hot chick) haha but i just like the US one better, mainly cause its more modern.. a bit. and goodlooking cast, and just cause of the americanness i guess you can say.. :p no desrespect to the UK one at all.

  • @Austeenob well,I respect your opeinion,but that doesnt make a good show.

    I really like Skins UK,I dont care if the cast is hot or not.But,after I saw Skins UK first season,Skins US turn into the same plot,or at least into a really similar one.Just that US have a lesbian.It cant be so much modern just for the music,I mean,they just have a few years of difference.

  • @Austeenob They completely copied the script though. And the script was written in Britain. So where's the American style, they're just trying to be British. And it just seems really cliché.

  • @HolyCrapDudeXD i know they copied the british script at times.. but not the entire time. i would of liked to of seen a season 2 to where the break off and do there own things

  • Why did they change Sid's name to Stanley? When they seem to have kept all the other main character's names the same..

  • skin US sucks because its on MTV so its way too censored. plus i watched the UK version first so i already know exactly whats going to happen...just with worse acting.

  • US teenagers are fucking gimps

  • @IVIuRRMaN I think both countries have annoying teens. The difference between UK Skins and US is that the US Skins is on MTV so it's more censored so obviously UK skins is better. You would have to be a complete imbecile to not tell the difference.

  • SKINS UK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • OH MY FUCKING GOD! US version has AWFUL actors AND American teens are more annoying!

  • Why does the US have to take our homemade British series and make them shit?

  • God I hate US remakes of UK shows. Why re-invent the wheel? The US versions are always lame and without nudity or profanity.

  • @galvonix619 God it's true.

  • The US version seems a bit more contrived. And I don't changing Maxxie's character was really necessary :/

  • i like us a version better i hate uk voices srry but yea. does anyone no if s2 for us version cum out on netflix wen?

  • UK is beter

  • Uk version is the best, i mean, A blond Effy? What The Fuck?

  • US was bullshit. Didn't make it past the first episode.

  • UK of course ! :D

  • Im american and UK version all the way, the original!

  • I'm an American and I proudly admit that the U.K. version is EONS better.

  • U.S version is better !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • @zulylovesyou123 LIES!!!!

  • @Slagythor it is not a lie it is true

  • UK version is better

  • UK VERSION SUCKS COCK USA ALL DAY

  • @Bwade123 lol usa version is shit uk man

  • @Bwade123 r a dumb tard u think uk is bttr both r same

  • its the same yet the u.s. version sucks. ok...

  • OMG USA SUCKS ASS

  • Im from America and Skins (UK) was amazing. Shameless (US) is too. 

  • They ripped it off, word for word. Eurgh why cant they just import like we import their TV shows, E4 is fucking full of it.

  • Lmao 'Hay Nipths'

  • USA CAN GO FUCK THEMSELFS.........They take everything, The office, Top gear, Skins,

  • UK version is the only way to go. The US version is Skins without any emotion, originality, or intrigue. I'm so happy that version got canned. American out.

  • @GutzFilmz Why would you see much originality if it is a remake dumbass they were trying to do the same thing on purpose. Its not the first time something like that has ever happened. And the only reason it got canceled was because the Dumb mom squad complained

  • I find it funny how they replaced Maxxie with a girl, because he's gay and a lot of Americans are too homophobic to accept that.

  • @N30N94 The girl in the US version is gay so how is this homophobic boy or girl if your gay your gay

  • I TOOK A BUSLOAD OF PILLS.

  • skins UK IS THE BEST

  • Skins UK, no doubt.

  • can we just start a petition where we ask for a new skins with better storylines & better actors to be put on HBO ? that way we can have all the drugs, sex & partying & none of the MTV fuckery ! & they can somehow find a way to tie it into the UK version I desperetly need to hear the name Effy, Cook or Emily be spoken.

  • UK is better US version blows

  • All due respect but i HATE Us version, is too much bullshit, UK is a lot better. :)

  • I wish the original cast would come back

  • skins uk has sooo much better actors..jesus

    

  • UK skins had Godly cinematography and MUCH better acting. US skins is just a really..really bad imitation with even worse acting.

  • The reason why the US one sucks is because they based it too closely to the original. They did the same story with bad acting, bad mirrored characters, and bad everything. They should have made their own characters and stories just with the same tone.

  • us version was awful. i'm so happy it got cancelled.

  • Comment removed

  • I loved the US version, I haven't seen the U.K one yet though. Really, I don't see a reason for all this debate, they're both probably really good shows... ^-^

  • US skins is AWESOME! UK isn't exactly there yet...(:

  • UK and US versions are EXACTLY alike...except US is better c: ♥

    Bring US BACK!!!!

  • @MTVSkinsUS Sorry, as an American, I prefer the UK version. (No Maxxie doppelganger? Blasphemy!)

  • WOW US IS AWFUL.....EWW

  • @VknightAsian Noo...not really..

  • oh and some people in us are better from my opinion they look better in the show

  • let just watch it the tv shows and stop fightting , bloody hell is just a tv show!

  • Dialogue in UK version: hilarious.

    Dialogue in US version: stupid.

    Hmmmm . . . .

  • what's the point remaking something that is already great??

    US sucks. UK ALL THE WAY!

  • @LLLBubby Boo.... UK sucks. US ALL THE WAY!! :D ♥

  • skins us has his merit but skins UK is better, always

  • British way, is the best way.

  • UK !

  • Comment removed

  • Did Skins US have to take the exact lines, more or less, from Skins UK? What a rip-off. Waste of time.
