What do you mean, "Both Skins and Shameless died on their arses ?" US Shameless is an excellent show, and does very well for Showtime. A third series is now in production.


The US version of "Shameless" is fantastic.

I agree totally.

Justin Chatwin, Jeremy Allen White and Cameron Monaghan are all total fitties and William H Macy is spot on as Frank! thumbsup.gif

Apparently a trailer has been released but is so far only viewable in the US.

It could have been worse I guess, its just that my over-riding impression after watching the trailer is that its just all so utterly pointless shaky.gif

The fat kid seems to have the exact same personality as the fat kid from Superbad.

In fact, a spin off show featuring the three characters from Superbad would have been a lot better than this.

Again you really have to stop visiting Digital Spy.

Taken on its own merits The Inbetweeners US is fine. Its far from perfect but it has enough genuine laughs in the pilot to hold its own. Broadly its basically what remakes of this nature should be. Its taken the basic blueprint of the original version and begun to craft an American identity around that. They've made some clever changes but its still finding its feet. I think there's potentially a very good show here. It just needs time to develop.

You do realize I'm being sarcastic when I talk about DS right?
I know it's run by 12 year olds paid by Simon Cowell.

Although given that your verdict is identical to theirs they can't be all that bad. bleh.gif
Viewing figures would be interesting though.

I haven't seen any ratings yet which in and of itself probably isn't a great sign.

I watched it. Most of the situational comedy still works but as mentioned before, it seems pointless because they do really recreate scenes from the UK original plus the actors playing Will and Simon are too good-looking to be believable (not saying the UK actors are ugly but they're more believable than the US versions). There were some funny moments, so I hope it can develop into its own show.

Oh yeah, the bleeping out of curse words is ridiculous

To provide perspective from the other side. As an American, I had never heard of The Inbetweeners until it came to MTV. So I saw the US version first and then sought out the UK version to compare.

Having said that, the US version and UK version are pretty much identical at this point. So while it's not bad, its just a complete waste of time and money. At first, I was pretty annoyed that they would be so completely unoriginal and just re-gift us an entire series, but the more I think about it, it makes sense. This isn't a show that would be successful on Showtime or HBO, due to their older demographics. And the original UK version would need to be edited to within an inch of its life on MTV (thanks, you religious, southern prudes). So it makes more sense now. With that said, I'll continue on with the UK version and give the US one a chance. If it doesn't find its own legs fast though, I'm done.
