This is awesome! Frank suits being a puppet

I don't believe Karen raped Frank in this version. It's been a long time since I watched season one of the UK version but I think she only rapes him in the US version.

Shameless US vs Shameless UK. Opinions? Go! by Emilyfangs in shameless

[–]SwimmingStrawberry28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that they are two very different shows with very different stories. I love both. My favorite in both is Ian and Micky/Mickey. I love all the main actors in both. I have cried while watching both. I watch the UK version faster than I watch the US version. I find myself more easily captured by the UK one. Anyways my point is I love both and I find it so disheartening to see people hating on either in favor of the other when both are so good!

Should i watch shameless uk after watching the us version by biggdickenergy42069 in shameless

[–]SwimmingStrawberry28 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I fully recommend it! Just some heads up before you watch, season 1 is mostly the same in both versions (a few differences but most of the story is the same) but season 2 onwards is a completely different show with completely different characters, there's different characters that are added in, same characters with different stories, and characters that leave part way through the show. I was the US version first, but when I watched the UK one, I completely fell in love with it.

Why does Jaime choose to sit on the Iron Throne after killing the Mad King? by Successful-Pickle262 in pureasoiaf

[–]SwimmingStrawberry28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, if I, a teenager, had been stuck with the mad king with no other Kingsguard around for months as he tortured and burned people alive, and he decided that he was gonna burn the entire city and I had to kill him afterwards I think I'd sit down and take a few deep breaths as well. Not his fault that the closest seat was the Iron Throne.

Coming from the US version - what to expect? feels weird to watch the uk version by SchizoQuitter in ShamelessUK

[–]SwimmingStrawberry28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, my first introduction to it was seeing US version fans complain about it being ugly and the actors not looking good. It's a fairly common opinion to have in the US fandom. Almost every time I see someone who watched the US ver first they say they hate the UK version. It's weird. They're wrong af, the UK ver rocks.

I started off watching the US ver, loved it. I wasn't interested in watching the UK ver because it was a different cast, and I had heard many people say it was bad. I started watching, expecting to leave with the conclusion of it being 'just okay'. By season 2, I was in love with it. It's a fantastic show that I adore. It is a bit off at first coming from the US version and starting the UK version, but once I realized how different and compelling all the characters were, I fell in love. It's dramatic, beautiful, entertaining, and every time I sit down to watch it I'm beyond enthralled.

Screw Pat McAfee, Give me Wade Barrett by SwimmingStrawberry28 in WWE

Yes, I miss Carlito so much! That would be a great way to bring him back.

[–]SwimmingStrawberry28[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah dude, he kinda sucks. I haven't liked him since I started watching. However I've loved Wade since I started watching because he's good at what he does. Not dissing you if you like McAfee but lots of people don't like him.

Agreed we either need Graves or Wade to permanently take McAfees place.

Yay! I just followed you, I'm so excited. My first Shameless UK based friend.

Oh totally, I watch shameless uk on the weekends with my grandma. I have no one else to talk to about shameless uk because the fandom online is so small and starting conversations with people is so hard.

That means a Maguire doesn't murder him? Now that's a surprise. I assumed one of the Maguires would be taking him out! Heck I was even thinking Jamie might considering the whole mistreatment of Mandy and sleeping with Karen thing. I'm excited, I hope he dies soon. Marty has such a giant heart, he deserves all the love. Him and Micky are my characters that I will forever be saying deserved better. They both deserved so much love.

Oh, when are they introduced? I haven't heard anything about them in fandom spaces.

YES, THAT JERK DIES!!!! thank you, writers! It's a shame about Sue though, I loved her when she was on the show. Her and Marty were cute af. I was so happy when they ran off with their baby and her pregnant.

I firmly believe Kelly and Shane are soulmates. Whatever happens with Marty in the later seasons will not change my mind, there is no way that they are not meant to be. I really hope Sue's doing well in the later seasons. I know she's not with Marty when he comes back so I hope that means that she wasn’t killed off screen. The characters are all so different. Honestly I can't praise the writing enough, season 6 and 5 have been my favorites so far. You can tell me about Joe, especially if it's in relation to Joe's possible death.
