Skins is like that too - we started watching the first episode of both the American and British versions, and they were identical.

I was going to ask which one you liked better, but I don't think I need to

    it was cheesy as hell. the whole highschool sweetheart thing which was only 3 years ago if fiona is 21, was stupid. i thought it was good that she was against being with married people, then she hooks up with the guy and he is a total loser. the whole sexting thing was annoying, just dumb. and then steve...that scene looked fake as fuck and he looked like an idiot. i called he was getting a blowjob as soon as he picked up the phone

    Fiona didn't finish high school, she left after her sophomore year (~16) because her mother left to be lesbo. So its been 6 years since she was in high school and never got to experience that shit since she became a pseudo mom. I though that was pretty obvious of that whole story line.

    Also, yea that scene was obviously greenscreened, but whatever. Just because you called it, it was obvious by the way, since the camera was panning out, doesn't make it a terrible show.

    I thought the reason she ended up sleeping with the married guy was cause she had tried to do the right thing by returning the money to purse lady but she was a bitch. So, Fiona said fuck it, there's no use in trying to do the right thing and called the married guy, but then that was a disaster too.

    Yea of course that's it. I honestly don't know how someone could've watched that episode and come to any different conclusion. For a little bit of time I thought maybe there'd be a reveal that the woman whose purse it was was going to be running a con on Fiona, and that maybe the kids weren't really hers or something. I thought it was a genius story move to have the hooking up with the cute married guy be a trainwreck she'd never wanna repeat.


    The thing with Steve at the end, yea that background looked so fake, I honestly thought the reveal would be he was standing in front of a real greenscreen, and that, I don't know, he was acting in a commercial or something


    I just really love that the last thing this show is concerned about is you liking or identifying with the father at all (and Macy is fucking brilliant). I mean that moment when the call came on the pager about the heart and he didn't tell Butterface, this guy truly is a total piece of shit human being

    Wow. I should have waited to post about Frank. He's off the charts awful.

    How is the purse girl the bitch? She just called Fiona out for stealing, which she did.

    OMG the sex in the car scene was ridiculous!!

    Also, what's with the dumb whore who's now getting marrried to Jody?

    The ending with Steve was also fantastic. Good episode.

    Never seen an episode and too lazy to look it up (premise). So is this show about a typical family and Macy is the dad, Rossem is the daughter and just shenanigans happens? Is Rossem a ho on the show? Love her.

    Then you must have laughed non-stop last episode. I am not sure he could have been worse.

    It wasnt that i didnt laugh last episode.I laughed enough and like i said Frank was the highlight for me. I just hated the highschool sweetheart thing, the whole sexts popping up on screen.

    I thought this too... I also thought that they spent the purse money very un-wisely if they were really that poor. Maybe we're thinking too much about it

    meh, I'm pretty much willing to let that slide. I mean we've already seen that the family has a communal laptop they all share. Obviously the house has been paid for, they only have to worry about coming up with money every month for utilities. Fiona works her friggin ass off, I could see her, all things considered, having an iphone. Remember, it's not even necessarily new.

    Steve bought Fiona the iPhone.

    The sextint/HS thing was a small piece about something bigger, Fiona, who is clearly suffering from an identity crisis. (IMO, of course.)

    I wouldn't get too worried about the money thing. I mean, the young kid is supposed to come up with a grand over the summer. A lot of adults can't do that.

    I had a feeling something was going to happen, but I would have never guessed that.
    Also, Lip needs to stop being a bitch and tell Karen how he really feels.

    Yea I think I even made a thread specifically about this a long time ago, I don't understand how when if you have a spouse that cheats, you're more angry at the person they fucked than your spouse. okay granted, even if the person did know you were married (as Fiona did) it's not like she was the one initiating it from the start. This woman's loser husband deserves most of the shit.


    and yet another show uses an unexpected pregnancy for plot development. Does nobody in the TV world believing in pulling out??

    i was yelling at frank/ the tv when the pager went off, i just knew what was going to happen. the show really does try to make you hate Frank.

    this show is really brilliant.
