    This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

    No.. i really don't care what you haters say. I thought it was a good show. Yes.. it was highly advertised, had a great cast, good plot and critics loved it. Where did it go wrong who knows? It's like the OC... trust me.. at first it was off to a slow start, but Fox gave it a chance and now it's one of the hottest shows. Too bad Skin was gone after just 3 weeks.About D.J Cotrona (great actor as well as hella hot!) and Oliva Wilde (played Alex the one who want out with Marissa in OC). His family hated hers and from there on it's war. Yet, these 2 teenagers love each other. to summarize-- Modern Romeo and Juiliet.Fox only aired 3 eps. though they filmed 8eps. If you want to catch it.. watch SOAPnet in april. the 8eps will air.i beg you! BRING BACK SKIN!

    Basically it was Romeo & Juliet in 2003. The son of a district attorney and the daughter of a porn king meet and fall in love. Their parents forbid them to see each other. But they love each other.... It only really focused on R&L in the first 2 episodes....I LOVED the sequence in which "Juliet's" maid gets "Romeo" out of school. After episode 3 it went off on its own direction....but FOX canceled it before we got to see the rest of them.What's the problem? It moved fast, had good actors as the parents, had two VERY attractive leads (especially DJ--WOOF!)and had plenty of high tech glitz. Also the sex angle was nowhere near as explicit as some people thought--it was actually pretty tame. FOX DID promote this through the roof, but they said episode 1 had 4 million viewers--episode 2 had 3 million--episode 3 had 2 million--they HAD to cancel it! It's really too bad--this show never had a chance. Also critics loved it. I think if FOX had given the show a chance and shown ALL the episodes it might have gotten an audience. But these days a show has to be a hit right away to survive. Sad.I really hope somebody else picks this up--but I doubt it. It's a real good show. R.I.P.

    I'll be totally honest i was dying to see "skin". I definitely wondered how they were going to tackle certain touchy subjects on network tv. so now that i've seen two shows i'm not even sure why i bothered. the show is an utter and complete bore. olivia wilde definitely has the potential to be a very interesting presense but i'm sure we will never get to see any evidence of this. hopefully bruckheimer will remember her later on down the line and put her in one of his loud films.i was hoping skin was going to be like the nip/ tuck of the porn world but it's more like a slick after school special written by someone's mom who saw a porn once and was completely traumatized.

    well, when i first saw the previews for this i was hooked...the romantic in me was going at in when they showed the netting clip. so anyway last night (10*20) i watch it and i was really intruged by it. although the plot is rather romeo and juliet-ish ( i seriously laughed out loud when we learned that her name was jewles, and bumed out when adam's name wasn't a version of romeo) it holds alot of promise. everything from the pool sceen to when adam sneeks out to see jewles to when they are together for the first time had me so involved in this un-folding story. there are so many avenues that can be explored i think that i am hooked on this latest FOX creation. 4.5 stars out of 5
