"Skins" (2011)
Based on: British teen drama "Skins" (2007-now)
Hit or Miss? Miss
The British original is addictive, compelling and impossible to stop watching. The US version? A lot tamer, a lot less interesting, and yet still controversial. The sex and drugs depicted in the show prompted protests and made several sponsors pull their ads. It died after one season.
