So far only Season 1 of the brilliant British TV series ‘Shameless’ is available on DVD here in the US. (Netflix has it.) American TV has a checkered history when it comes to adapting British series (who can forget the Americanized versions of Men Behaving Badly, Coupling, Life on Mars? Evidently everyone) so it was with some trepidation that I’ve watched the first two episodes of Showtime’s American version of ‘Shameless’. The first episode was great but it was pretty much a carbon copy of the Brit first episode. Fortunately Episode 2 headed down an original, hilarious path. Definitely Must See TV, even if you have to wait for the DVD's!
I'll have to wait for the DVDs! I do need some good laughs these days.
