So, I haven't watched Skins in a while since I've been too busy watching this show called Misfits, which is in many ways SO MUCH BETTER than Skins (at least the current Skins, which I have more of a love-hate relationship with. The first two seasons are absolutely ~GOLDEN~, of course.) and oh so much fun. It's really great!
So, it's basically just Skins with superpowers, which sounds a bit silly but HEY. It works! So, there's a group of five "young offenders" who are out doing community service when BLAM! they get struck by lightning during a strange electrical storm. Now they all have superpowers. Cool! One guy can become invisible, this other guy time travels, one girl reads minds, etc. They use these powers to solve mysteries and stop bad guys and kill their probation workers, that sort of thing. There's a lot of running around with people going "Hey, [so-and-so] is in danger! We've got to go save [him/her] before the [probation officer/werewolf/shape-shifter/Grand Theft Auto guy/evil tattooist] KILLS [HIM/HER]!!" You're probably thinking "That sounds silly" in which case, YES I KNOW IT SOUNDS SILLY. But trust me! It works.
