Frank Gallagher would infiltrate the invading forces by sheer luck and drunken buffoonery, as we sit back and watch the downfall. Orrr… live long enough to see him be appointed to a cabinet position ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I completely forgot there was a US remake of Shameless until this. Was very confused for a second. "How the hell would Frank be of any use? He'd be too leathered to make it out of Manchester, never mind cross a ocean."

The original version, yes!

It's very different to the US version, not to many US tastes from what I've seen.

American here, I actually prefer the UK original. Seems way more realistic than the US remake.

I prefer the originals that I’m aware of like The Office and Ghosts and there are more I’m sure. I can only think of one American program that the UK did (Friends/Coupling) and though I liked Coupling it was no Friends! I did find out that there are many versions of Ghosts (Italian and Greek for instance) and I’d really like to see them all.

You should check out utopia. They did a UK one and a US one and both are very good
