I saw a TV series last night that my son recommended, my wife said it won some awards. It's set in I think Scotland, it's about this kid that meets this girl and she lives in this house with all of these siblings and a drunk dad and one of her siblings they just found out is gay. Another brother of hers got a b-j while teaching physics to a girl and then took his brother over to see if he could turn him around and the dad caught the girl blowing the guy under the table. The biggest sister is going out with this guy that steals cars.

What is that called? I can't understand jack [expletive] that they are saying, they need [expletive] subtitles. Not sure this is worth watching or not, should I give it another two episodes?

I forget what it's called, but there's an American version with William H Macy. Presumably subtitles aren't needed.

There is an American show called Shameless starring William H. Macy and Emily Rossum. It airs on Showtime.

If you like watching people making bad decisions while in depressing situations, it's the show for you.

Yes! That's it. Is it any good? The first half of the first episode I just couldn't follow it, but the second half had a couple of interesting twists. The problem I have is the accents are so strong I can't really understand 1/2 of what they are saying. I'm not sure what language that is they are speaking.

"Shameless" also occasionally features Diora Baird, the sexiest woman to ever live. Of course, I've never watched it.

We weren't watching the American version.
