Skins is a new TV series by the people who made that other wacky English show Shameless. It revolves around a bunch of dissimilar friends who share a love for spliff, losing their virginity and partying and is essentially the new Degrassi for the generation that couldn’t get enough of Snake and his pals.

This is one of the most addictive things we’ve watched all year and it starts in Australia on Thursday January 7th at 10pm on SBS. Ok, wow, cool.
