Synopsis
The first series of offbeat TV drama Shameless promises plenty of laughs from Manchester's most dysfunctional family (the Gallaghers) and their neighbours (the Maguires) as they go about their very anarchic lives. Join Frank and his six kids, for whom there is never a dull moment on the Chatsworth housing estate, where wheel-less cars are the norm and the moving ones are stolen.

Having found Shameless only in the last year, I was very excited to be able to catch up on past misdemeanors. You have to applaud the witty lines, complex story lines and colourful language, whilst curling your toes at the same colourful language, and distinct lack of morals displayed by the unfortunate characters therein. Wonderful. Hilarious. Real laugh-out-loud stuff. A definate must see.

series one of the great series doesnt stutter or edge its way into character and form,it just bombs the place with the gallagher family led by the father,frank who is a waste of space ultimately as he rarely sees the world without drunken eyes,and his 6 kids who are raised by the eldest fiona.
Along with neighbours veronica and kevin and other minor characters the show takes form to draw shocks,laughs and sentiment out of the viewer and to its credit manages on all fronts,frank waking in paris with a look of utter confusion is one of the great scenes,of which there are many.
Shameless works because although there is the argument for over the top at times,the show doesnt take itself seriously or swagger with an air of arrogance,at times its simple and never out complexes itself,laughs come and go,drama does the same and so do the shocks which have given the show a real individuality,cracking series and well worth some of your cash.

Having seen the fifth season of Shameless earlier this year I thought I'd go back to the beginning and buy the first series. It's an insight on estate life (though much exaggerated!!) and every cast member gives funny, loveable performances. It is very well written and will have you in pain from laughing so much.

No shame in loving Shameless
I only recently thought I'd give this series a go, mainly because of James McAvoy, who sadly departs the series after season 2. Read more
