Okay, since I’ve started Bizim Hikaye which is a Turkish remake of Shameless and I already have seen the original British Shameless when it aired. After I submit my dissertation, I’m going to start US Shameless because I want to do a post ranking and comparing the Franks, Fionas, Steves, Lips, the ships etc.
Because Turkish Steve/Fiona - Barış and Filiz (BarFi) - I’m soft for them and hardcore shipping them in a way that OG Steve/Fiona didn’t and then I hear that Fiona/Jimmy(?) is very messy.
Also I hear the US Shameless is good in its own right. Like it doesn’t have some of the aspects I loved about OG Shameless (but that’s because the OG evolved into an ensemble about the Chatsworth Estate) but US Shameless does have the fam more because the Gallaghers didn’t leave the show so soon.
And Bizim Hikaye has such a different tone to both versions (it doesn’t try to be a remake of a British show or the US version, it feels Turkish. But then there is Turkish censorship so some good parts are omitted because of conservative censorship)
