MSCL and Skins fall into that category. And then there are shows that are about teens but seem written as much as for adults as they are for teens. That's where Freaks and Geeks falls for me. Because I never looked at F&G as a "teen" show, I completely overlooked it when I made that statement in my review. F&G is, by far, one of the best shows of the past ten years.<br><br>I hope your friends listen to you because they don't know what they're missing.

I just watched the whole first and second seasons over the past couple of weeks, largely because of your review of Season 1, and this is really one of the best shows I have seen in a long long time, though I would argue that it is the best teen series since Freaks and Geeks (which I still love just a bit more than My So-Called Life), and probably the only one that can be spoken of in the same breath as F&G, My So-Called Life or the original Degrassi. Just stunning.<br><br>Strangely, I've been having a really hard time selling my friends on Skins - partly because I feel it is hard to describe its premise (character-based dramedy about British teens?) in a way that does it justice - but it doesn't mean that I'll stop telling them about it!

Strangely, I've been having a really hard time selling my friends on Skins – partly because I feel it is hard to describe its premise (character-based dramedy about British teens?) in a way that does it justice – but it doesn't mean that I'll stop telling them about it!
