Shameless it by far relatable to normal non rich people. Maybe not exactly but I'm sure you understand what I mean. You and your friends and significant other if you have one will love the raw raunchy hilarious comedy series and wish they would hurry up and release more. American Verison I've never seen British verison

'Shameless' is jaded, bad, unfunny writing for the most part. William Macy is the quintessential 'angry' old man. Of course, as a drunken 'Archie Bunker', he lacks the 'Archie Bunker' charm, for this angry white man is nothing more than a mean drunk. No one in the cast is endearing, because they are all thieves and morally reprehensible. The sexualization of children, the mocking of religion is particularly unfunny. I find the dystopia of today fairly disturbing, and this 'comedy' makes light of very serious issues. Emmy Rossom is the only engaging character. As Fiona, she has much charm...she reminds me of 'Marilyn' from 'The Munsters'. She's the only one that is half normal. The black chick is hot, the graphic sex is not needed. This show would work if it was better written. There were some amusing parts, but basically, it's a cynical America scripted by I suspect enraged liberals. This is why I do not watch cable TV.Read full review

I am addicted to this fast moving hilarious series. I am not sure why. You have to be prepared for sex scenes and other rude language and shameless behavior. That said, you won't find a better group of actors. After that, you fall in love with this struggling family that survives without a functioning mom or dad. William H. Macy is terrific as a drunk, money mongering, shiftless father that has an approprate platitude for every situation as long as you don't blame him. Joan Cusak is terrific as a shut-in with goody two shoe behavior. Her daughter is a slut. They are all great. I can't wait for the dvd of season 2 and next year, season 3!!
This is an excellent series, all the characters are great, the story lines, as unbelievable as they are, are actually believable - could be somebody you know, or someone in your family. There is nudity, adult language, and adult content - just like in real life. I bought this DVD to share with my sister, who had never seen it - she works with adult victims of abuse and violence, and she could identify that with almost all the characters. The series is addicting, and I can't wait for Season Two to become available - I will get one for me, and one for my sister!
I have been binging on this show for the past month. Love the characters, love the storyline, love the chaotic drama, LOVE THIS SHOW.
