Shameless best show on TV period!
Just got Showtime anytime online and couldn’t agree with you more! I just started watching season one and am on Episode 11 now…I cant stop binge watching it,it’s so hilarious! William H. Macy is a genious in this show. I cant imagine someone else playing,”Frank Gallagher” as well as he does. Even his real life wife from Desperate Housewives is a terrific actress(Felicity Huffman). I can see how those 2 have chemistry without even watching them act together on t.v.! Anyways, brilliant show! Cant imagine the British version being better than this!
