Obligatory Tuesday US!Skins Post

[botherd]

O HAI NEW FANDOM. Overall, I liked it quite a lot! I don't think I was ever going to love it just because I didn't like the original pilot all that much, but I think there's a lot of potential there and I'm excited about where it's going to go. I was never hugely into gen 1 in the first place, so I don't really mind seeing the characters change.

I already like Stanley, Michelle and Cadie better than the originals, I think, and I feel like I haven't seen enough of Daisy and Abbud to decide. Tony seems okay? Very different to Nick Hoult's Tony, but I like that most of them are quite different because it's easier to see them as completely separate characters. I wasn't really feeling Chris, I have to say, which seems like an unpopular opinion from the few reaction posts I've read. IDK why, he just kind of bugged me.

Eura will never be Effy. I'm so much more precious about gen 2 than gen 1, so I'll probably find it a lot harder to like her than any of the others.

TEA. Loved her, but then I'd already decided she was going to be awesome and it probably would have taken a lot to convince me otherwise. (I feel cheated out of seeing Lezzerama, though. Now there's a wasted opportunity.) Can't wait for her episode next week! There's a trailer floating around but it's one of those fucking region-locked affairs so I can't see it. Does anyone know if it's on Youtube?
