Continuo a elogiar a atuação dos atores e a qualidade das histórias envoltas dos personagens. A série continua cada vez melhor. Esta temporada pode muito bem ser a temporada mais genial (até agora) de "Shameless".

This season is one of the best things I have ever seen. From the first to the last episode I was completely amazed by the quality of the actors and series itself. The first 3 seasons are great, but this one is simply genius.
