Well I got in to this show after watching the god awful American version and decided to try out the UK version to see if it was any better, and it surely was. The acting was better, the interactions were better, the interactions seemed more realistic, just a lot of reasons why the original is better.
I will definitely be sticking around after this episode, in the American version, I really couldn't find myself liking any of the characters, but here, the characters came off as more likable and definitely less annoying.
The truck in the lake was actually pretty funny, and I liked the final scene between Sid & Tony. "They got out of the car at the hospital, right?" Hilarious, favorite character is Cassie at this point, looking forward to the Cassie-centric episode this season. Good start Skins!moreless
