Kind of missed it a bit...lol...even though it is trash.

Glad to have Shameless back, but not Skins.

Like them both

I'm glad.

shameless yes, skins no.

kylew · 30 Jan 2010 at 21:19

I like them both.

On Skins, I found Thomas's dwindling African accent annoying though and the fact that his brother and sister both had strong British accents. :confused:

TV Forums are down there VVVVV

Series 1 was good but then it just went downhill, I hate the show now - Skins.

Mobius 1 · 30 Jan 2010 at 21:25

people please classify which show they are on about

Skins has dramatically dropped in quality. We had some fairly wild parties in 6th form but I think Skins pushes it a bit far. And yeah, Thomas' accent was poor. Mind you, they're in Bristol and, as far as I know, they don't sound like the Skins cast do for the most part; clearly accents aren't a priority.

Shameless is also on the decline I feel, though still thoroughly better than most drivel on TV.

Couldn't give two hoots.

His siblings are much younger so could have been in UK for most of their life, and developed the accent.

Didn't they come over at the end of the last series?

xb8browney · 30 Jan 2010 at 21:31

Yes and Yes.

I've never really followed Shameless, but the last season of Skins was fantastic after a mediocre first and second series. Looking forward to more of the new cast.

Shameless used to be funny, now it's way too serious/dark and feels like a soap.

V4NT0M · 30 Jan 2010 at 21:36

I watched series 1 of skins and shameless, I'm pretty sure I've seen the best of it.

I understand that, however, they couldn't have been in England for more than a few months.

Accents may not be a priority, however, his accent was a lot stronger last series, which is why I've found it so odd.

That only 'cos there are twins and lesbians... ok, good point.

Never bothered to watch shameless even though it sounds like it might be good?

I did check out skins though when they started showing the third series as it looked like it might be quite entertaining and 'different', its alright for a teen type show, something i wouldn't normally watch, anyway i ended up watching the first lot on 4od as well and i quite liked it but it also turned super depressing and left me feeling the same lol, i don't get why though, strange...

My advice don't watch a series like that in a short period as its not a good idea!
