October Question Meme: Day Eleven

Asked by sakuraberries:

What's one tv show you've wanted to watch for ages but haven't gotten around to?

Shameless (US), I actually watched like the first two episodes but haven't gotten around to watching the rest of it, mostly due to unavailability. And I know I have, like, four seasons worth to get through. I've heard so many good things about this show, especially the performances, most notably of Emmy Rossum who is, in my opinion, severely underrated and deserves more recognition. I'm hoping to find time and a way of watching the entirety of S1 and the rest of the series.

I heard that only the pilot had similarities with the UK version, but otherwise from there on out it takes a life of its own and is completely separate from its UK counterpart. Which I'm glad, since from what I heard the UK Fiona basically leaves the series at some point, and I don't think I could handle Emmy leaving the show since she is the main draw for me, personally speaking.

I honestly don't think Emmy would leave the show or that showtime would write her off - the US Shameless is about Fiona and their family/friends, getting rid of her would be the stupidest thing a show could do (and we all know how some shows can be major stupid *winks*) But if Emmy left, they would lose ALL their viewers. :)
