Shameless (Show on HBO)

Insider2000

Has anyone been watching this? What happens and what they do is absolutely horrible, but my God, is it stress relieving!

I like pretty much everyone in this show except Frank, but really, they purposely make Frank an asshole.

I strangely find the gay brother's story interesting…
Yesterday's Episode Spoilers

! But seriously, when does what happened last night happen? He enters the room of his fake girlfriend's brother, ready to attack him with a lead pipe. The kid fights back, pushes him onto the bed…....and the two immediately tear off their clothes and have sex.
! WHAT!?! WHEN DOES THAT HAPPEN!?! I want to be in THAT world.
The little girl is adorable (and when she separated from her fake grandma, I cried for the poor kid).

I have to say, I like Emmy Rossum's and Justin Chatwin's character, but MAN is it weird to see the two stars of Dragonball: Evolution naked and having sex with each other. Not that I mind.

This show is amazing here in the US. I know its really popular in the UK so that only makes it better. William H. Macy steals the show as Frank and he is a trip.

Everyone in this show is insane and its so nerve racking how extreme they take their lives. The little girl actually is the only character i DONT like, no reason i just dont like her.

I know what you mean with the 2 stars of that terrible terrible DB:E movie. BUT this show puts their ability at full display and i now LOVE these 2. Emmy Rossum and Chatwin are great.

Show is awesome, fun, Fucking SICK!, and AMAZING. Loving it!

I always had love for Emmy. She was Christine in Phantom of the Opera, and her singing voice is insane. And her acting isn't half bad either.

Justin has been in dozens of shitty movies (unless you liked Invisible, which…meh), but he's a breath of fresh air in this show.

I really enjoy their story.

I heard the US Remake had Emmy Rossum and Chatwin fucking. How is it doing cus I know a lot of US remakes don't fair too well. Yet it seems popular on here. EDIT: Checking the wikipedia it seems to be faring very well.

I was never really into the original version much before. Maybe I should check it out some time.

First episode, the two of them have sex on the kitchen floor. Yesterday's episode, they had sex in a pool. So yeah, they have sex very frequently. And you see everything except their…....mortar and pestle.

And from what I'm reading from the shows ratings, the show is doing better than many of HBO's dramas, including (unfortunately for me) Dexter.

It's a pretty good show.

I loved the UK versions first and second season but quickly lost track of it and just ended up not watching it.

From the previews I didn't like the look of this US remake at all, but we'll see.

Shameless and Dexter are on Showtime, not HBO. (just FYI)

Flux. Apparenlty it's the UK one word for word with American actors.

But yeah. The UK one. It started off great but the last few series have been dire. Hopefully the American version won't fall into the same pit as the UK one and have all of the main cast except Frank leave. (seriously. I think we have like….3 chars from the first series still in it.)

Aren't most shows on HBO shameless?

Dammit. :sad: This is just like the time I called 'Despicable Me' a Dreamworks movie.

Oh, that would suck. I mean, I'm assuming the gay brother will most likely join the military from what the trailers had shown, but I really like most of these characters.

Do those shameless shows have a naked Goku and Bulma from DB: Evolution?

Cyber-Robin

Well you have to remember that they are onto Series 8 in the UK so it's over 8 years. Of course if they keep the American actors it'll be different.
