Shameless

What do fans of the series make of the American version of the show?

Showtime Official Site :: Series :: Shameless

Personally I cannot fathom why they state that it's an "original" Showtime series

What an absolute load of bollocks. No mancs, no scousers. They sound too sophisticated as well. Will never be as good as the ORIGINAL

When's the news series coming out by the way?

Hadn't realised they'd done a USA version of this. Will have to take a peek.

Starts mid January, 5 episodes in 5 nights, 22 episodes this series.

Frank Gallagher is the greatest tv character ever.

Why even bother trying to emulate him.

It will be funny (or cringeworthy) to watch them trying though

Not too impressed with the new series so far

Not too impressed with the new series so far

thought Monday nights episode where they made a joke about Debbie dying in Afghanistan was pretty tasteless.

Loving the new series so far. The whole Frank going missing thing is spinning me out abit but its good

 

[philsussex]

I'm warming more to it now. Seem to remember the last series starting a bit slow too.

I didn't think they'd really pull off keeping the series as engaging as the past episodes & series but the writing is as good as ever although it's obviously lost a little shine but that's just being used to the whole thing. It is as good today as it ever was & that's damn good. The shift of focus onto other characters is all it takes getting used to. You'll grow into it as they develop the newer characters. Long live The Chatsworth Massive.

The scene in the kitchen just then, Libby in particular - some of the worst acting/attempts at crying I have ever seen.
