Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)My husband and I are both completely hooked on Shameless! Like the reviewer above, I bought an all-region DVD player just to watch this series. We're nearly through the 7 seasons in just 3 months, often watching 3 episodes in a row. The writing and the acting are both superb. David Threlfall as Frank is exceptional.... what a complex character! He's useless as a parent, a sloppy falling-down, foul-mouthed drunk, consistently unemployed, and a terrible role model for his children, yet there is something inherently likeable about him. And if you can understand his diatribes through the slurring, Frank is actually intelligent and well-read, though it's not obvious at first. The rest of the cast are brilliant too, and it's interesting to watch the kids grow up over several seasons. There are frequent new additions as some of the original cast leave for various reasons, and there's really no weak link here.
I'm American and I have not been using the subtitles. At first you'll sometimes miss parts of the dialogue but very quickly you'll get used to the accent and you'll be able to understand them without the subtitles. (in some cases they don't do much good anyway....for example, I had to have a UK friend explain to me that "six well ten" means 6:00 UNTIL 10:00!)
One caveat: not for the kiddies!! Even younger teenagers might find it a bit shocking. LOTS of rude language, LOTS of sex, and very frank (no pun intended) discussion of the particulars thereof.
