I've recently gotten into this British TV show called Skins. It's about a group of teens in Bristol who are dealing with growing up, school, families and relationships. So, like Dawson's Creek...except that in British teen dramas the kids are doing loads of pills, smoking spliffs at every turn, bringing bottles of vodka to school, getting into trouble with gangsters and drug dealers, cheating with each others' boyfriends/girlfriends, staying out all night without their parents caring, and best of all, swearing like they grew up with Quentin Tarantino. Needless to say, it's a rather entertaining show. More realistic(?), but if kids in Britain are really like that, American parents have nothing to worry about.
Anyways, another highlight to the show is the music. I've discovered a slew of bands because of it. This is The Ettes with "Take it with You" (they're from L.A. not U.K.)
