Shameless is hilarious! 5 out of 5 stars.

Shameless is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen! I have been really frustrated that season 2 has not been released in the US, but I was lucky enough to find that they were showing season 2 on the Sundance Channel. I only missed the first 2 episodes and got to see the rest! They are starting season 3 this Sunday June 20. I am excited to see that too. The reason I watched Shameless to begin with is James McAvoy. He is great in the show! Ann-Marie Duff is also really great! I just love those two together! I make sure to watch the show with subtitles, they talk so fast it is hard for an ignorant American (such as myself :)) to catch everything w/ their thick accents. It is much funnier when you understand everything they are saying, I highly recommend it!

Freakin' Hilarious 5 out of 5 stars.

This is best comedy series I've seen. S'got drama too, and a lot of love between the Gallaghers and friends. There is some nudity and ribald sex scenes, but if that doesn't put you off you'll laugh out loud and fall in love with all the amazing characters in this series. Region 1 for Series 2 please, ASAP! Or I'll have to break down and buy an all region player!

This series would never make traction in the US. Think of it. People on gov assistance and very much living nuanced lives on that assistance. Stuck on the gov tit like a leech on a hemophiliac for that matter.
The Gallagher clan and co are more human and real than any WASP PTA goer or church attending blowhard could ever aspire to.
The characters are detailed, subtle and astoundingly realized. Casting is above par and a joy to encounter. This is TV that is more cinematic than sitcom like. Yes I gush, but its the truth. Became a fan when I first saw season 1 on the Sundance Channel. Have been captive ever since.
Characters are flawed, as in real life. As most people are. But there is a realness to Shameless that challenges you. Do you really want to care for these people? Hang in there and soon enough you find another level within these characters that makes you practically tearful. That is great writing and acting.
If you are up for a challenge, and love great writing. Despite the fact that you may need to turn closed captioning on, and may miss some localisms that us US'inans may stare blankly at. This show is for you....and did I say it was funny. At times uproariously funny in fact.
Then take the plunge and go for it.

Based around the anarchic and hectic lives of the Gallagher family and their neighbours, the Maguires, the show's unpredictable and hilarious plots unfold in the chaotic world of the Chatsworth Housing Estate. Join Frank Gallagher and his AWOL wife Monica, their six children, and their equally-dysfunctional neighbours, as Shameless follows the ups and downs of their rollercoaster-like lives in this rough Manchester estate.

Editorial Review:

Shameless, the BAFTA award-winning and brilliantly funny drama series from writer Paul Abbott, follows the roller coaster lives and loves of the highly un-orthodox yet extremely tightly knit Gallagher family. Head of the family, in name only, is dad Frank - a feckless, charmless, self-pitying, unemployed bully - a model father. Since mum went AWOL, dad hit the bottle leaving his six remarkably well-balanced children Fiona, Lip, Ian, Debbie, Carl and Liam to fend for themselves. But the Ghallagers need not worry anymore, now they've teamed up with the local gangsters the Maguires, who have moved in next door. Welcome to a hectic world of sexual adventures, triumphs, love, scams and a fair bit of crime on the Manchester housing estate - where wheel-less cars are the norm and the moving ones are stolen. The Complete Series 1-4 Box Set is an eleven disc set consisting of all four series, plus the feature length Christmas and New Year Specials.

Editorial Review:

The Gallaghers, the UK's most dysfunctional family, return along with assorted colourful characters on the Chatsworth Estate. Frank, Manchester's favourite son and world's worst father, embarks on a series of adventures with his remarkably well-balanced children Fiona, Lip, Ian, Carl, Debbie and Liam - and not forgetting the seventh kid on the way with Frank's valium-fuelled lover Sheila. With more hilarious tales of how one extraordinary family goes about its normal everyday life, Shameless series two is packed with sex, love and scams: but the most important thing is - FAMILY.
