Couldn't find a thread on it for all series. I've started this yesterday and I'm hoping (might be wishful thinking) to watch all the series over Summer.

So far, I think it's brilliant. A real good dark humour mixed with drama in the show. Kev and Veronica are my favourite characters (although I like everyone bar Steve)

I'm on S1 at the minute and the last episode I watched was the one where Kev and Veronica get 'married', the best episode yet

[Denver]

Phenomenal show but is it's way in the end

[reece(:]

Great show until the last few when most of the Gallagher's leave

[Daniel-X]

My mum said that to me when I started watching. She said it goes crap when there becomes loads of new characters and people like Kev & Veronica leave

[Jason.]

Yeah the first three series are the best. I think I lost interest around after S5.

[Withano]

Its so good. Watching the 2 last series' isnt needed though

[Braden]

It was great in its heyday. I can't exactly remember where it declined in quality, but it definitely did.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

the first 3 series are amazing

[Braden]

I was gonna say, it was at its prime with Sheila

[Shaun]

Loved the start of it but it began to go wrong (S6 spoiler)

Spoiler:

when Mandy died I mean it was already a bit tired at that point but this killed it for good.

Oh my god, I forgot about that

I think that is literally when the show lost its spark. Some of the seasons after that were okay, but it just continued to decline after that.

The seasons with Libby and her mother were pretty good too though.

And the storyline with Lillian adopting a prostitute <3

[arista]

Clever Writer of It

[Daniel-X]

Sheila the agoraphobic icon <3

'Vodka and tonic for me and rum and black for Debbie'

[Daniel-X]

I'm OBSESSED with Sheila. I've finished S1, going to start S2 later. Loved the first series it's brilliantly written with the right mix of dark humour and drama. My only niggle is I'd like to see some of the characters such as Kash, Yvonne and Ian developed and less focus on Fiona and Steve (bc Steve is trash let's face it gals)

[Locke.]

I avoided watching the US version for such a long time because I didn't think there was any way it could possibly be as good as the first few seasons of the UK version, but it is 10 times better. Stop watching after Season 3 and divert yourself to the consistently great version!

I've never really been interested in the US version just because I can't imagine it working over in the states but I've heard it's actually fantastic.

Is S2 when the Maguires arrive?

Shameless USA is bloody great.

1-3 here is some of the best UK drama produced. Loses its way and just plods on until it finally gets put out of its misery.

[Jake.]

Haven't watched our version but US is phenomenal

[Daniel-X]

I HATE Steve so much

[Daniel-X]

Yasss @ Steve leaving. Wish he'd been caught theaux

[Daniel-X]

I'm on S4 atm and the decline in quality is already noticeable

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i think it died after veronica left </3
