Shameless (New Showtime Series)

I didn't see a thread on this...

Anyways, the series premiere was just on Showtime. Fantastic premiere. The rest of the season looks incredible.

The show is based on the U.K. version of the same name. The series follows the dysfunctional family of Frank Gallagher, a single father of six children. While he spends his days drunk, his kids learn to take care of themselves.

    Saw the 15 min teaser after Dexters season finale. I'll watch this at some point this week.

    The thing that caught my eye in the one little review I read said about how Rossum displays "Showtime style nudity" even within the first 20 minutes.

    Suffice to say, I'm more than a little curious to see exactly what that means (unfortunately I'm kinda guessing it's not like straight up topless or anything)

    There was a ton of nudity/sexually explicit scenes. Blow job scenes, sex on a kitchen floor, sperm, boobs, dicks, asses, etc.

    I couldn't care less about the nudity, but I thought that the premiere was great! Looks like Showtime has another great series on their hands.

    well I have to figure you're just being sarcastic here because that stuff I read in that review, when it said the "showtime type of nudity", I took it to mean in the same way that Cinemax is "porn". Like, not really, just the poor man's version of it.

    Holy shit, wasn't kidding... you totally see some Emily Rossom tittays here
    I don't know, for some reason I was just really thinking she wasn't an actress who would do that. Ya know what I'm gonna go ahead and say that she's right on par with Anne Hathaway for hot and sexiness.

    Two things:

    1) You must read aintitcool (in reference to the bold)
    2) I'm totally watching this show tomorrow afternoon.

    One of my best friend's girlfriend looks exactly like Emmy Rossum and I had to do a double take because I thought it was her.

    It wasn't

    This show looks fucking dreadful. I like William H. Macy, but he just looks so awkward and miscast in the trailer./

    There's also a couple voices that tell me to turn the gas on in my apartment and just leave it that way for awhile, but yea mostly it's the sex.

    THey did a remake??!?!!? Why can't they just show the UK version, or would the yanks have trouble understanding what they say?
    FOr those saying it looks terrible, I thought exactly the same from the adverts, but the show was awesome and I got totally hooked. Always assuming they do a good job of the remake that is...

    Really enjoyed the first episode. The acting was great (except for the gay kid), however there was too much man-ass and weiner and not enough boobage.

    What was wrong with the "gay kid" and his acting? I thought the storyline with him and the brother was the most interesting.
