Optimism and Sociopathy.

Been watching the British drama Skins, and enjoying it. It mixes the right blend of optimism and sociopathy that encapsulates teen life.

But when the end of the first season ended with an impromptu musical number, completely out of synch with anything they've done this season, I believe they may have made me a fan for life. TV that's willing to do the weird, and do it well, it's a rare and wonderful thing.



Skins (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"Skins is focused around the lives of a group of teenage friends who live in Bristol. The drama is meant to represent the daily lives of adolescents. The group includes a gay character; an attractive and popular boy; his girlfriend; a drug-taking Muslim; a girl with an eating disorder; a boy who is desperate to lose his virginity; an intelligent and privileged girl and a party animal in love with his teacher."
