With that wonderment which is the birth-act of philosophy, I suddenly start to query the familiar.

Skins--A recommendation

I am very much into the first season of Skins and so I recommend it to you all. We stream it on Netflix but if you have BBC America I guess you can find it there. Episode 2 is particularly good and a little brave stylistically. It's funny, can be "slapsticky," but is also heavy in the right places. And since it is a British show, without the hypocritical American puritanism, there is more realistic swearing, drinking and drug-use as befits older teens. Good stuff.
