Skins New Generation... Any Good?

Skins: Series 1

I've recorded Skins to watch at some point this week, but now I'm wondering whether it's worth my time.

Maybe that's harsh and this new generation are better than the first and second combined, but from the general buzz and look of this new cast I'm just not feeling it...

Tony's first year was the best in my opinion- it was groundbreaking and something new to the teen scene. I vaguely remember thinking why the hell weren't my teenage years like that?!

I loved this series for the fashion too- Cassie was a true visionary wearing watches around her ankles teamed with quirky sailor dresses.

Effy was my fave of the second generation- she literally gave new life to grunge chic in over sized leather jackets, glittery hot pants and ripped fishnets.

Having looked at the new cast I have to admit they fit into the whole 'misfit' mould, but other than that I'm not overly impressed.

So I put it to you, dear reader, should I give the new Skins a shot?
