    The realism doesn't extend to the exaggerated characters and plots, but if you focus on the sharp dialogue (and aren't an easily worried parent), these students earn a solid ... B.

    It's all elevated by looking really beautiful (though not -- and this is the crucial difference -- stylish). The pictures fill in the blanks, and even as Skins strains credibility, it achieves moments of poetry.

    The glimpses of old-fashioned heart in Sid's story, and the characters' deadpan humor, make this show a mildly intriguing chronicle of youth.

    Skins is edgy, cutting-edge and very realistic. Very, very realistic... and that's coming from a British teenager!
