Maybe it's also because I don't find any of the characters particularly likeable. Well actually, I like the eldest son (can't remember his name, I've missed the last few episodes). Pip? Kip?

Yeah, Lip is probably the best. But to be honest, I'm really into the show right now. I think Emmy Rossum has done a great job with her character and showed a different side in the last episode. It was great stuff.
You compare it to Breaking Bad and Dexter, I don't think that's fair whatsoever. Totally different shows and yeah, Shameless didn't have that ONE BIG MOMENT that had me hooked, it was more of a slow and gradual process, but when I get home from work on Monday night, the first thing I do is watch Shameless. I'm totally into it and it's been a real pleasant surprise.
Hope the ratings are good enough to be picked up for more seasons.
Rossum and Macy should be up for Emmys this year IMO. Rossum especially. She steals the show.
