I can't imagine it would be enough to ever get me to watch this again given how bad the first two seasons were. With all the new TV coming in the next few months I'll be glad to have an hour free from HBO when this is on.

There's a very good reason why there's such a huge overlap of actors between these shows. Michael Schur is Mr. NBC.
Yeah, seems about time for it to be done. Fine with this.

Fucking finally. One of my last 'hate watch' shows left standing. So ready for it to end.

Shameless mockery of a once great show put out of its misery
Yep, this is significant enough for a title change.
2019-2020 Season TV Cancellations/Pilots: Showtime puts Shameless mockery of a once great show out of its misery
Oh well, I guess that's a 'No' to my question :p
Nah, Shameless is great for the vast majority of its run and is still watchable now. It's easily one of my favorite shows of all time.
The first idk 5-6 seasons are good. Then it's trash. Absolute trash.
From what I heard, the show was really hurting from losing a fan favorite for the previous season. Otherwise I hear great things about it.
Do I need to have watched the original Penny Dreadful show for this to make sense?
I'm going to guess no. I'm glad it has the OG showrunner back but this trailer didn't do much for me. The second season of penny dreadful was one of the best things on tv the year it came out though so I'll be giving this a shot at least
Also I'm in for Rory. He's one of the best actors working today and I'd watch him staring at grass grow
This takes place many decades after, in a completely different location -- so I would say absolutely not. Though I wouldn't be surprised if somehow one or two characters from the original end up appearing down the line, after all we're dealing with supernatural monsters and such.
I think it starts really strong in the first several seasons and then gets a little more worn out and almost repeating things as time goes on. Its not completely awful now, just a bit tired and not a bad time to finally end. I think its still worth a watch since its still mostly entertaining.
It's absolutely worth the watch, I think. It's a Showtime show, so it's never gonna be bad quality, but it does get average as time goes by, and some schtick are getting rather repetitive and tired at some point. Seeing characters failing on repeat can take a toll on you at some point. But the characters and cast is great, and I have a fondness for all of them, and that is partly the reason why I have kerpt on watching throughout the years.

I don't trust the creator to give us satisfying show again after what he pulled for the original.
Yeah, I pretty much checked out once I heard Fiona was leaving and they brought Mickey back. She really was the heart of that show and I've always hated the Ian/Mickey pairing. I wonder if she'll make an appearance in the final season.
Even at its worst moments Shameless is still pretty fun, it also has some of the best side characters of any series.
Shameless is great. Although the Joan Cusack years were the best, it's never terrible, and it's yet another case where the BBC kills its young and the U.S. picks it up, makes it last, and something great comes out of it.
What? The BBC version of Shameless had 11 seasons 139 episodes.
The original British version was shown on Channel Four, not the BBC. Maybe you are thinking of the American broadcast of the original series, which was shown on BBC America (which only showed the first season though).
Finally! They really should've announced it last week when PopTV aired that special.
BTW, I'm stealing this and posting it in one of the ODAAT threads.
Yikes, imagine screwing up a straight to series order that bad.
I'm not sure anyone should watch that new Penny Dreadful after how the writer ended the previous series. It's obvious the series needed a bigger budget. Else it's just teasing not showing kind of show. In other words, it's Supernatural post season 5 with nudity without any humor.
I never thought this sounded interesting, so I'm okay with them not moving forward with it.
I wouldn't blame John Logan too much considering we don't know for sure what went down. Something major clearly happened behind the scenes in the last season and none of the given explanations made sense so I'm hoping one day we learn the full truth.
I weep for the lost Egypt-focused season they were clearly setting up.
Yeah it always seemed like Eva Green was at least partly responsible for the rushed final season despite what Logan said
same :(
Oh to be a fly on that wall~
On one hand, amazing cast, on the other hand, do i trust John Logan after Penny Dreadful?
Still hurts to this day unlike GOT or some other shows that crashed and burned.
I haven't seen a single impression or review for it anywhere.
I am absolutely certain she dropped Penny Dreadful as soon as she was offered the title role in Miss Peregrine. She must have figured it would pay better and last longer than whatever gas Penny Dreadful had left in the tank.
Lol, Penny Dreadful was never remotely as bad as Supernatural is right now. It's easily the worst show I watch. I can't wait for it to be over.
Matthew Wilkas is in it, so I'd like to watch it, but I can't commit until I know more.
Crap, my bad. Yeah, that's what I get for leaning on BBC America. Carry on, everyone.
not surprising, it's quite popular right? "trashy fun" as many call it lol
