Shameless was originally a uk series with the same name, but im not sure if you americans will get our british humor lolNo, never even heard of it til, as usual, I was channel surfing one day and William Macy was being absolutely brilliantly OUTRAGEOUS and from there, I was hooked. What was it called, and can I find it on OnDemand via Directv or maybe Amazon Prime?
Absolutely not for kids, either. Hoo boy!
I could not get into True Detective i found it very boring. Ive just finished watching "masters of sex" much better than i expectedAre we gonna be watching?? Abso-FUCKING-lutely! I won't be reading the books, so everything will be a surprise to me.
It's gonna be weird getting out of the Shameless & True Detective mode, but I'm sure I can handle the adjustment.
You and my dad, he said he found the dialog 'sluggish and uninteresting.' He was born and raised in New Orleans so his views and experiences of the Deep South are very different from mine. But, it pulled me in even when I didn't want to be pulled in. I'd be very interested to see the UK version of Shameless, I can't say how much I'd like it, it's not quite Monty Python or Fawlty Towers, maybe... no, it's more raunchy than Absolutely Fabulous. It's pretty much one of the raunchiest shows I've ever watched. I guess I'd just have to see and find out!Shameless was originally a uk series with the same name, but im not sure if you americans will get our british humor lol

I think logic is right about UK version of shameless. I just couldn't do it. Maybe its just im to "Americanized " but a good show none the less. And never watched GOT but planned on catching marathon to check it out
u and me both. Lol i only watch 2 British shows. Dr. Who on occasion but my buddies are obsessed abd being human. I watch both versions of that ...well didI love our version of the office but cant handle 10 mins of the US version.
Madness
It's all leading up to a single final culmination, a single loci event, if you will. You will immediately understand why McConaughey's (sp? I can never fucking spell his name!) character, Rust Cohle, simply cannot return, and to try to return the character to the show would be trite, overworked, and it would kill it dead. And you understand how Hart will mature and move forward. Part of the appeal for me is that it brings back a lot of memories of my childhood when we lived in Shreveport, La, and driving between there and my mawmaw's home in New Orleans. Stopping at the gas station and not being allowed to use the toilet, seeing the big fishbowl full of baby alligators, wasps, WASPS, Icees, hot tar in the cracks of the roads, pecans pecans and more pecans... and then hearing people speak, hearing an accent and manner of speech I haven't heard since I was very young, and I haven't been back there since I was quite small. I don't know if I can get enough of the opening tune, either. I wonder if the gas stations will let me use their toilets now that I'm not so tanned. :eek:You know exactly what I mean by that old school channel 4 show. The first few series of Shamless were amazing. Paul Abbott genius.
TopBoy is another channel 4 one I really enjoyed, as was Utopia. Very odd.
True detective Im on episode 5 or 6 and waiting for something to happen. Losing interest fast.
The closest Ive come to GOT is Vikings. Which is fucking EPIC.
So you've seen it, then? I got pulled into Homeland the same way, channel surfing (I am really bad about that, super-ADD).I think logic is right about UK version of shameless. I just couldn't do it. Maybe its just im to "Americanized " but a good show none the less. And never watched GOT but planned on catching marathon to check it out. And Sea i totally get it. I was pulled in and only wanted to see what it was. Did the same with cable series Justified. Great show too.
I love the UK version of Antiques Roadshow.u and me both. Lol i only watch 2 British shows. Dr. Who on occasion but my buddies are obsessed abd being human. I watch both versions of that ...well did
Don't get me started on the pure TRIPE that is the US version of Top Gear. They completely and totally missed the mark.

LOVING Vikings (have you ever seen The 13th Warrior? Based on true events and a single document).

I love the UK version of Antiques Roadshow.
