does anybody watch Shameless?
im half way through series 5, and i love it!!

when it first started i admit i thought what a load of rubbish, but i gave it a chance and now im hooked!!

And I still stand for that!

3 episodes into series 6, and I can't wait for tuesday night to come (or rather wednesday morning, in my case )

Still brilliant, still unmissable, and with a cast of thousands they can even afford losing the odd main character every now and then, which doesn't mean I won't miss Ian, after many others, but that's the way it works, and it works fine!

Yesterday's episode 3 was a bit unusual in that it left little space for drama, while comedy was in full swing.

Mickey and Carrie were just... well, rolling on the floor laughing, really, how odd can it get?

And Frank's drunken ramblings are alarmingly making more and more sense, it's a bit of a guilty feeling, like finding yourself agreeing with Jeremy Clarkson, and then having to wash your brain with soap...

Of course, Frank Gallagher on an average day makes more sense than Jeremy Clarkson anyway, that was just per absurdum...

Well, I guess it would take a bit of an effort to start, this stuff should be watched from the beginning, ideally, and the first 2 seasons are not the best ones, imho.

Also, let's keep in mind this is not just for laughs, although they abound, no worries there, but the disfunctional Gallagher family is not treated lightly. I might describe this, if hard pressed for concision, as Ken Loach meets the Young Ones...
