Skins
''My absolute favorite foreign series has to be Skins from the U.K. It's smart, funny, and dramatic, and it is an honest portrayal of teenage life.'' —NickyB
''The teens on that show are hands down the most damaged and resilient kids on TV right now. Somehow the show is over-the-top and real and honest at the same time.'' —alibnyc

Torchwood
''By far, my favorite foreign series is Torchwood. It's bold in its social interactions, has great sci-fi storytelling, and a compelling cast.'' —Corran
''Torchwood! Irresistible Captain Jack, adorable Ianto, squeaky little Gwen, annoying Owen, brilliant Tosh, and occasionally the impeccable Martha Jones and whining Rhys all working together to 'arm the human race against the future.' Plus, the mystery of the Face of Boe. You can't top that!'' —Yoja

Degrassi: The Next Generation
''And Degrassi: TNG. Obvi. Although, yes, it hasn't been the same since Craig... (or Sean, or Jimmy...)'' —JackJack
''I miss Degrassi: The Next Generation (The Older Generation). Blows my mind that Drake (the rapper) was Jimmy (the teenage boy) in Degrassi. Also, Craig...I still dream about him. Even though he was all coke-y and cheated on Ashley with Manny (ew), still loved him.'' —Elena
