Redemption: Watch Skins: Michelle

Well I already went into why the show is good for existing a few weeks ago - as well as why it was bad. But finally this week MTV redeemed itself with the new episode from this Monday.

Each episode is named after the character it focuses on, and the "Michelle" episode succeeded in both facing issues of the characters and with the acting.

Where the acting failed in the first few episodes, this one actually wowed me with its script and acting - something the US version of "Skins" I thought would never do.

Watch this episode for the characterization of Michelle - and the development of characters across the board really. As long as MTV keeps it up and has some of these actors keep developing their acting chops, this actually might be a good show in the end. I certainly hope so considering the appreciation I have for the UK version.
