I've just watched the first two episodes of this utter rubbish and i am left with a very bad taste in my mouth. The Uk version was rough, rude, gritty, believable. well acted, well written, well directed and worth watching, which is why it is now in its 5th season. The US version is none of these, what was the point of remaking Skins and watering it down, it totally lost its edge and the beeping of the swearing ruined it even further, they even changed the bed spread for god sake. the character of tony is not in any way believable, cassy (sorry kate) is no where near unstable enough. i don't understand why the Americans feel the need to change things, they toned down Shamless, gave Life On Mars a completely ridiculous ending and now this, LEAVE THINGS ALONE AND DO NOT MESS, i doubt very much if this will make it to a second season or even end the first.
