Good episode, I was worried the series would suffer from losing Paddy, but it seems better without him

It's clearly never been this nuts though. It only started really casting the net wide in terms of the writing from about series 5 on. It's amazing to think now that the show first hit big because of true to life humour. It's now been watered down to a chavvy comedy drama rather than a series with genuine heart and sharp writing.

It's still good, but yeah.

Not a bad starter episode. Totally what you'd expect from the last few series though. Sort of getting samey

This episode has been the only good one so far apart from the cliched nephew character, Liam was better.

The idea of having Shameless on every night for a week works better in theory then it does in practice. It's just a bit too much and the Frank storyline has been a bit crap and overlong, Tomorrow's looks good though so it could redeem itself.

EDIT: Also I don't know if it's meant to be her 'thing' or whatever but Libby needs to stop running about and screaming at the sky :laugh:

Its nothing on previous series. The only reason i've stuck with it the past couple of series is because of how much of a fan I was of the show during the first few series.

If I had just tuned in for the first time this series it'd probably have been the first and last time I watched.

Another departure spoiler, it seems that..

Libby leaves during this series according to the NOTW:(, they say that Pauline McGlynn who plays her has struggled with the commute to Manchester and has often rushed into work because she divides her time between Dublin and London and it's affected on her family life.

Every storyline these days seem pointless and too far fetched.

Like in earlier series it was more real and relatable and the stories followed on from eachother. Seems this series and the past couple they just make it up as they go along. I'll wait and see if it improves in the next few weeks. :)

+ about Libby they should kill her off or its just going to be a Sheila pt.2

Good episode this week again. Shane & Kelly seem to be the main characters now though. People have been saying it's the Maguire show for years but Frank is literally just an extra in it these days. Apart from the I'm enjoying it this series. It kind of lost it's way last year trying to find it's feet with a new cast but the writing this time around I find much tighter and more cohesive. Their getting on with what they've got.

Now onto the e4 one.

I've only begun watching, I bought Series 4 on DVD and have been watching that and love it.

But I heard alot of the cast have left like Debbie, Lip and Big Paddy Maguire.

Has it really gone downhill? I mean were the old series better?
After I finish S4 would you advise me to go and watch Series 1 onwards? Or go onto Series 5 and make my way up to S8?


Which 'era' was better?

Sorry about all the questions, but I expect your all fans where as I've only watched S4.

Yep, many have left and even earlier on people like Fiona, Sheila, Kev and Veronica have left the cast..

I would say it's gone downhill but only slightly, the first 2 or 3 series are my favourites but i still love all of them. I think it depends what characters you like aswell and how much involvement they have in each series.

I'd say once you've finished series 4 you start at series 1 and just work your way through them all, i know that'll take quite a while but i've saw all the episodes last summer but i got the series 1-7 boxset or my Christmas and i quickly worked my way through every episode to remind myself of what had been happening before series 8 started.

I think if you watch every episode though you'll enjoy series 8 more when you get round to watching it.

The E4 one tonight is absoloutely appaling. It's the lowest point I have ever seen the show at. At least try and hide the fact that Frank is now an extra in the show for christ sake.

I don't know how they wrote this **** without it crossing their minds that fans would reject it.

A throwaway hour of Mimi Magurie having a nervous breakdown. Yay, go Shameless.
