Skins

description

With a controversial plot and an exceptionally talented cast of young actors, "SKINS" is a top quality television program to watch and be entertained by. Residing in Bristol in South West England we observe a group of teenagers as they explore modern issues including mental illness, dysfunctional family life, death, drugs, sexual identity crisis, and eating disorders. The amateur actors along with some youthful writers pull together a thoroughly enjoyable program that is often hard hitting and relevant to everyday life. Season one finds Nicholas Hoult (Tony Stonem) to be a popular, intelligent boy. An attractive young man, he finds it easy to manipulate those around him into doing what he wishes and this makes him entertaining just to see what he can get away with next. He has a best friend Mike Bailey (Sid Jenkins), who is entirely opposite him personality wise. Tony also has a girl friend that gets upset with him and his self centered ways but can't seem to stay angry with him. Another young girl has an eating disorder she hides and parents with a new baby that seems to take over her parent's attention completely. Thoroughly entertaining story and music make SKINS a winner.

Parenthood

If your family drama cannot be "Modern Family" or "Brothers and Sisters," then what can it be? It almost inevitably will be NBC's "Parenthood," a mid-season, post-Olympic experiment boldly launched in February, 2010. The "Parenthood" experiment tests the hypothesis that good writers and actors can find the middle ground between "Modern Family's" understated but outrageous satire and "Brothers and Sisters'" intensity. Producers Ron Howard and Brian Grazer are re-working the basic premise of Parenthood, the 1989 movie starring Steve Martin as a frazzled father trying with all his might to do the right thing for everyone he loves. The New York Times accurately observes, "'Parenthood,' with its polished scripts and beautifully shot exteriors, seems like a last gasp of television past," big-big production values and a cast of small-screen all-stars including Craig T. Nelson, Bonnie Bedelia, and Lauren Graham. "Parenthood's" plots and dialogue exploit the irony in everyday family life, winning empathetic laughs and wry smiles where other teams might push too hard for punchlines. Some of the dialogue has the same brilliant serrated edge that distinguished "Gilmore Girls," but, as Lauren Graham points out, "I do not have to talk so fast." Like all good comedy, the teasing and quirkiness are fundamentally good-natured, and every episode features at least one weep-worthy segment. Because "Parenthood" is not "Modern Family" or "Brothers and Sisters," it has become the rarest of rare productions at NBC"”a hit.
