Talk Back: BBC America's "Skins"

Given as enamored as I am of BBC America's latest series offering, Skins, I am curious to know what those of you who tuned in thought of the series' first two episodes, which aired back-to-back last night on BBC America.

If you haven't read my original advance review of Skins' first three episodes, click here to read about a series that I described as "absolutely gripping, funny, and emotionally resonant" and "filled to the rafters with quirky and complex characters, all of whom seem shockingly real."

If you tuned in last night, what did you like best about Skins? (Or conversely, what didn't you like?) Which characters were the best drawn and which ones were (for now, anyway) lacking in definition? And what did you think about both the premiere episode's cliffhanger (you know which one I mean) and the Cassie storyline?

Talk back here.
