I got into Shameless after watching The Bear because of the cast. It was also interesting to see the guy from the Jedi games as a tv show actor.

If you're going to give it a go, be aware it has some pretty adult themes as well as graphical sex and violence.

Something else on the list for me is the last couple of episodes of Slow Horses. I wanna try Dept. Q after that but I'm afraid it's gonna be a letdown after Slow Horses.

+1 for Shameless. Frank is one of the best most broken characters on TV.

I haven't seen Slow Horses, but Dept Q was phenomenal. Reminded me of Luther with a bit of Broadchurch.

Oh nice. I was impressed with both those shows. I can really recommend Slow Horses, I am currently reading the first book and the show stays super close to the book. Also Gary Oldman is excellent as Jackson Lamb.

I liked both as well.

Slow Horses is decent but Dept Q was far better, I can't see it being a let down.

Dept Q is not as farcical as Slow Horses is. It is quite good.
