Chicagoan Frank Gallagher is the proud single dad of six smart, industrious, independent kids, who without him would be...perhaps better off. When Frank's not at the bar spending what little money they have, he's passed out on the floor. But the kids have found ways to grow up in spite of him. They may not be like any family you know, but they make no apologies for being exactly who they are.

The purists watched the British version and only preach that gospel, but there is absolutely no shame in following Shameless US. A little more polished, a little less raw, but certainly no less fun. For people who think they are part of a completely disturbed and disrupted family, this is an absolute eye opener. When you see your uncle again opening a beer bottle with his navel after watching a family party, you will always think: “It's not that bad. Frank could have been my father too."
Mixed feelings about the last episode. I thought the Frank part was well and nicely rounded, but the rest still feels unfinished. And unfortunately no last look at Fiona.
