Shameless
When the US versions of Shameless, Skins and Being Human were announced, I rolled my eyes in disgust. Why can’t US tv companies think up new ideas instead of rehashing old British ones?
However when I watched Shameless I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’d go so far as to say it’s been my favorite show this tv season. The reason it works so well is the core Gallagher family. Despite most of the actors being in their teens they are actually really good and their affection for each other comes across as genuine, especially in the fraternal relationship of Lip and Ian.
Despite having some completely bonkers plot lines the main story of the season is just a poor, dysfunctional family on the wrong side of the tracks struggling to get by while dealing with issues of sexuality, education and morality.
I can’t wait for season two.
