Shamelessly Fun

I've really been enjoying the second season of Shameless on the Sundance Channel. For those of you who are unfamiliar, it is a British show (which is already up to season five in the UK) about a large, crazy family in working-class Manchester. I started watching because James McAvoy was in it (he's so dreamy) and although he left (but came back for one episode this week), I'm still having a lot of fun with it. Since it takes place in Manchester the accents are thick (I'm usually pretty good and I only understand half of it) but it is wacky as hell which I enjoy. I definitely recommend checking it out from the beginning if you can.

If you're looking for fun British shows, you should also check out Life on Mars - it has two seasons which should be on DVD. A cop somehow ends up back in time (again in Manchester) and has to deal with the corruption and attitudes of the '70s. It's trippy and intrguing!
