Meet Frank Gallagher, a proud, working-class patriarch to a motley brood of six smart, spirited, and independent kids who would be…better off without him. In Frank’s booze-addled view, parenting just eats into his hard-earned bar-crawling time around Chicago – so he leaves it to eldest daughter Fionna to hold down the fort. Bearing the de facto parent badge/burden, she’s donned the proverbial apron and makes sure her younger siblings do their chores, keep a clean-ish home, and everyone (no matter how small) works to keep the house lights on, as well as food on the table. Brothers Lip, Ian, and Carl use their intellect to break every rule in the book to survive and make the bank, while younger sister Debbie would sooner steal her share. Toddle Liam, the youngest, is just happy to be along for the ride. The Gallaghers are irreverent, endearing, resilient, and they’re absolutely, wildly, and unapologetically Shameless.

My Opinion: a darkly comedic drama following the dysfunctional Gallagher family is generally praised for its unique characters, funny dialogue, and surprisingly heartwarming moments, though some find the later seasons less compelling.
