Music changes, always a bad thing. - By: Nereis, 06 Jun 2008 
The season is great, but in the dvd edition they've changed some important songs like 'Time to pretend' from 1x10-"Everyone", or 'Hometown Glory" from 1x09-"Cassie".
That just sucks & it's the reason I give it four stars instead of five. I'll still probably buy the pack, but it will not be the same.
GUTTED - By: JAKE'S MIX, 21 May 2008 
I absolutely loved series 1 one of Skins. found the rawness, humour & storylines awesome. I think it was written reallly well, & every week I couldn't wait for the next episode. This series was such a massive let down. The plots were a disaster, the characterisation was non-existent - we learnt hardly anything new - old storylines were never concluded - even the title music was pathetic! I soon realised why, they had some 19 year old lad writing the scripts (no diss respect to young up & comming writers) who lacked experience - he didn't even have dynamism in his writing, which could have been a reason for his employment (I'm still yet to find one.). The reason this is two stars instead of one, is the actors. Was cast beautifully, & the performances were as good as they could have been with a poor script. Such a let down. Don't bother buying - watch the re-runs if you feel you have to.
still great - but quite dark / sadden compared to series I - By: Philipp, 17 May 2008 
reallly enjoyed watching series I when I stayed in the UK for half a year; now I almost finished watching series II on dvd;
acting & story line improved compared to series I, but it also became much darker & sadder - so don't expect a feel good tv show - series II reallly can bring you down if you're in a bad mood.
don't get me wrong, it's absolutely worth watching & brilliantly done but I think it would have been even more fun to watch
with a stronger focus on the friendship with a bit less drama (People dying) & more funny stuff.
looking forward for series III although I don't know what to expect as they're about to swap the whole cast (which I don't think is a good idea as the old one is reallly reallly likeable & made Skins).
hopefully series III it will be less sadden :-)
for the meantime i'll continue with Shameless which is great too;
(sorry about my English but as I'm from Germany I can't do any better :-))
I love Skins - By: Timothy Vrancken, 14 May 2008 I'm a 23 years old boy from Belgium. I reallly loved season one, the cast is awesome, & the dialogues are so good written.
Yet again they changed the music...why? - By: M. Buckley, 06 May 2008 What I don't understand is why do channel 4 not pay out for the original music used in the series, in one of the best moments of the series at the end of episode 9 when adele 'hometown glory' is used, it makes the scene. now its just not the same as the music has been changed. I love this show & when it's shown on tv at first is when it is the best but why must they alter the music.
