Thumbs up Shameless - start of new series tonight

chavtastic

As series six of this grittily humorous drama gets under way, the latest addition to the Gallagher brood - baby Stella - makes her presence felt in a most bizarre way. She's "talking" to her parents and says that if they can't produce at least one good person from the bleak Chatsworth estate (What! Is she having a laugh?), she's going on hunger strike rather than live there. Amazingly, Frank manages to find one. Meanwhile, Ian is knocked over and loses his memory. He's even forgotten that he's gay. But finding out about his sexuality is less of a shock than discovering what his life's been like. "Why would I want to remember this?" To its credit, Shameless (as well as actors David Threlfall and Gerard Kearns) manages to make these two potentially schmaltzy storylines as darkly comic as ever. Could it be that Shameless is back on form?

Great tv but the last few series haven't been a patch on the first 3 or 4.

All that was funny about series three was the poster (the last supper with FG as Christ)...

For me it's got less and less funny as the series have come out - probably because Frank has been in it less and less.

Still be watching tonight though

They all merge into one.

The ones with Maxine Peake as the neghbour were good.

As soon as the Maguires moved in next door, it became ridiculous.

I think after series 1 & 2 (the funniest in my opinion) the writers and directors changed. Still good though but if you like the other series and haven't seen the 1st 2 of them its a must watch
