    Because the bond between them is so strong, all the show's disparate pieces - the filthy comedy and the desperation, the joy and the depression - hold together just as well.

    Almost nothing about this series is conventional. That's part of the appeal.

    If you want bold activities, high drama and laughs motivated by something other than fame, tune in for Season 2 of Shameless.

    This show is very well written and the actors fit their characters extremely well. this show is a real down and dirty type of show that has real life situations and puts it into a show. this is my favorite show that is a mixture of drama and comedy at some parts. although this family may by dysfunctional, there are times of real unity which makes the show even better. i can't wait for the rest of the season!… Expand
