Any shameless fans.
 

Seriously.. I'm binging on netflix.

This programme is insane..I'm laughing then I'm in floods of tears...sitting gulping the emosh away.

Series 4 so far..beat one yet is 3

Love the US one, not watched the UK one yet

I loved the UK one...amazing. The US one I tried, but couldn't get at all.

I've never even attempted to watch that.

If you are british why on earth did you go there first.

The uk one is a dream to behold..series one isnt the best but needs watched for the future story lines.

I cant believe how emotional it gets me.

First 3 series are the definition of gritty, must watch drama.

After that its ****ing dross.

I've not been watching Shameless US recently but know they're on the last season and it was holding up really well compared. But then they kept all their cast for the majority of it's run.

I swear so many aspects of the UK one, actually mirrored my life at the time. Like, I know people watch it as a drama and its entertainment, but I was brought up in an area that had an estate exactly like it, and the characters, I could put down to people I knew. The lot of it, it was so realistic to me :laugh:

I lost interest really once it started focussing on the mcguires, rather than the gallaghers.

I disagree mr dagger.

Yeah the final 2 series were a bit daft, but they had some very dark moments in them that brought some long running storylines to a conclusion. But up until that, imo it held it's own and moved with the times.

Idk, I guess because the US version has kept the same kinda level of quality according to reviews, whereas the UK series takes a massive dip :laugh:

I will get round to it though

It haunts me sometimes..makes me see myself as a teenager..I think that's why it brings out so much emosh..

I love it though...I've probably binged watched it thrice before.

I'm on series one episode one now..

After watching 2-4 this week already.


Poor ian x

I will probably binge this now I know its on netflix tbh. I rewatch it all every now and again, probably 3-4 times so far..thats when I know ****s good, when you CAN rewatch it and not be bored :D

I remember intense hate for Lip. Right from the off. All my friends loved him, and fancied him usually. I never got it. Never really had a reason why though..was odd.

Tis true vicky..a very quick hour or two....or four..can be had.

infact I'm sure in the past I've skipped work cause it's been like half 2 in the morning and I'm still laying in the bed sideways with the head on the pillow watching with tears streaming down the side of my face.

Only other show to do that to me has been bb live feed.

On youtube ...

Search james English..he has done an interview podcast thing with the actor who plays lip...2021.

A very interesting story he has to tell.


Helen woods is also interviewed in an other one from 2020...but I know you are above that piece of ****.

Let's change this thread to...your favourite shameless character...

I loved it for the first few seasons then like others have mentioned it took a turn for the worst still watched it though lol, I was actually rewatching on Netflix for a while before xmas but I've drifted away from it since.

I loved Kev n Veronica

Veronica was amazing. She wasnt in it long though IIRC
She was definitely my fave to start with

Kevs a legend.

My favourite is debs and her relationship with everyone else. Especially Marty.

Atm

But then you get sheila tantric wanking off the copper to improve his sexual stamina

Wtf.

Trivia question..

What other dark comedy series did shiela's original husband appear on.

League of gentlemen

Watched UK one first and thought it was really good for the first few seasons and took a nosedive halfway through
USA has been more consistently great, once they went their own way with the storylines it became better imo. Probably because they kept the original cast members throughout so better attached to them.
Also UK never reached the heights of this scene

Doof hat giff
