Series 2 Episode 4 is still one of the best hours of British TV ever.

Loved this and despite the loss of most of the Gallaghers I do think the Maguires injected new life into it and kept it going a couple more years, but it lost it's way around series 6/7. They really needed to revamp it again in a way similar to season 4 by bringing in a new family but they just missed the chance and just bought in a few individual characters people didn't really care about. The trouble was the last couple of series probably focused on Frank too much as the series was always at it's best when it focused on other characters.


Absolutely agree with Shameless USA too - superb show in it's own right and amazing that the one show I thought would never translate to the US got it so right, and quite interesting to see it go in a different direction due to it not losing most it's case early on. Just wish Netflix would pick up the latter series - was bad enough More4 dropped it but now Netflix have picked up one series surely no reason not to pick up the rest and actually get up to date.
