Shameless - Last ever series
Just in case anyone missed it Shameless is back for a final fling.
It must have been going for 10 years now and it's as strong as ever imo, thoroughly enjoyed the first episode :D I'd like to see some of the old characters pop back in like Gav, Mickey, Paddy, Ian and the Geordie Lesbian !! |
Watched jus about all if them over the years, I mate I used to go to school with was in the first 2 series, Played Kev the barman :)....Dean Kelly.
|
I was wondering if he would pop back as well as he turned up in one episode of the last series.
|
Sergeant Randall was a nice addition to series 11 ;) Lucky Shane !

This show makes me feel physically sick. :razz:
Have to quickly turn over when I stumble across it. :D |
I think Shameless show has been truly shameless and outstanding with the depiction of what it aimed for. Frank for his baby Jesus episode will be long remembered.

Loved the early shows written by Paul Abbott, and shows 100, 101 and 102 which he returned to write. It has been going downhill in recent years though as ideas dry up and plot-lines got more tenuous and unbelievable. Even the nudity got less prevalent as I guess the actors gained fame and demanded more for doing their jobs.

So let's get this straight, we're talking about a show whose central character is an unemployed drunken waster, the kind of bloke who most of the regulars on NSR take every opportunity to vilify and rant about whenever the general subject of benefit spongers comes up, and people are actually sorry it's coming to an end? :wonder:

It's been **** for the last few series

Not slagging anyone off for watching it, each to their own. It's just not for me. :thumb: I'd rather watch 3 middle blokes prat about in cars. :D |

100% agree, a TV show that makes viewers aspire to be scum... great idea :Whatever_
People find entertainment in all manner of things, if we all liked the same thing it would be a little boring. |

Seriously are you saying that watching a TV show inspires people to be like the characters they see portrayed on the screen ? :lol1:

For you it might have just been about entertainment, but I'm sure for a fair number of viewers it will have been about empathizing or identifying with the show's characters, and feeling validated about living their lives in the same way. |

Seriously, are you saying a show like this won't have had that effect on at least some of the people who watched it?

Yes I am If anyone is influenced by a TV programme to become something they're not then they're already at the bottom of the gene pool imho. Chavs and Scroungers dont need programmes like Shameless to validate their place in life, their peers and parents and the easy benefit culture in this country managed that for them a long time ago. As an example I watch Ben and Holly's little Kingdom with my youngest. it certainly doesn't inspire me to become an elf and life in a tree :lol1: |

Also, programme like Shameless and Jeremy Kyle are watched by millions to feel better about themselves in comparison to the filthy and immoral underclass. Not that nothing as scum-like and dysfunctional goes on in higher classes. Ironically, it goes on in a classier way; in comparison. :cool:

If anyone thinks Shameless is bad for giving the impression thats it ok to be a scummy Mancunian. Please for the love of god don't watch "People Like Us".
I didn't even manage one episode before walking out the living room in disgust :freak3: IMHO Shameless has lost its gritty edge, now its seem to be too much about the characters pratting about doing something illegal/immoral with impunity. In the earlier series there was always an underlying side to the antics that would give a clever twist to the plot. |

Im gutted its ending. I've loved every series.
