The majority of attempts to take quintessentially British TV shows across the Pond result in abject failure, so its a little surprising to see the U.S. version of Shameless go from strength to strength. Embracing the dysfunction and gritty humour at the urban heart of the Gallagher family, the Showtime series was perfectly watchable when it made its bow in 2011 but has since grown in confidence and earned critical praise to go with its enviable ratings. And the quality of the show itself isnt the only thing rising likewise viewers temperatures and, er, other things. Another show where the title is practically a promise, Emmy Rossum has given some impressive performances but some of her other rather impressive assets have received more column inches. Most of her fellow cast members are in on the act too, though thankfully were yet to see a William H. Macy full frontal. Nonetheless, Shameless is a warts-and-all show with an equal opportunities policy when it comes to racy content. Not that its shocking for shockings sake the nude scenes are mostly used in the name of comedy. Apparently.
I watch movies and I watch sport. I also watch movies about sport, and if there were a sport about movies I'd watch that too. The internet was the closest thing I could find.
