Show HBO or Showtime do a teen drama?
I came across this article and it got me thinking. It could have potential.

Thoughts? Would you watch it?
Update:But that's the point - teens have sex. They do drugs. It could be a much more realistic take.
Also, I meant *Should not show in my question title.

Yes, I said the same thing when I heard they were doing an American remake of Skins. I knew MTV's version would be an unwatchable disaster and wondered why Showtime or HBO wouldn't do it. Same could be said of the Inbetweeners remake. They're probably afraid of the prudish backlash of promoting "risqué" shows to minors.
As a teen, I ONLY watch Showtime & HBO with an exception of a few shows on ABC. Anyway, so there is nudity violence drugs etc. like we don't know what that is? Adults don't seem to realize that teens have seen and been exposed to all these things at school, home, wherever, and its the maturity not the age that determines what you should watch. My favorite shows are Dexter, Shameless ( the American version ) and Homeland, all of which my grandma introduced to me and I watch at her house. Shameless has all of the things people seem inappropriate being done by teens. Anyway, I'd watch anything if the plot/script/acting was good.
No because the dramas they show on HBO and Showtime are not really suitable for teens, they would show sex and nudity all the time with drugs and a lot of R-rated stuff. That's why it should be kept to the local channels like CW.
