If only...Episode 2 was far and away the worst episode of Skins ever. Cook is such an unbelievable twat. Tony was a twat, thats true, but Tony was a beleivable twat. Nicholas Hoult is a miles better actor than whoever plays Cook but its not just that. Tony's character was someone we could relate to. He was the cocky, manipulative, hugely intelligent guy with the fit girlfriend. If we didnt know someone just like him, we could imagine. Cook is a down the line, one dimensional, boring, thick nobhead. I actually cant stand his character. This was his episode, the one in which we are supposed to discover his inner demons/feel compassionate for the character. But neither occured. Crap storyline as well. Skins has always been a bit unbelievable, but the brothel visit went to another level. I hope the ganster guy kills Cook, i really do. The other characters almost seemed to improve in the waken of Cook's shitness. Except for that ridiculous Abbey rip-off gangsters daughter.
