Review

The British comedic drama Shameless follows the exploits of Frank Gallagher (David Threlfall), a frequently drunk and jobless resident of Manchester’s Chatsworth Estates public housing projects whose kids have learned to get by with his lack of parenting. Frank’s daughter Fiona (Anne-Marie Duff) has taken on the role of mother to her teenage brothers Lip (Jody Latham) and Ian (Gerard Kearns), who is a closeted homosexual. Rebecca Atkinson plays Lip’s friend Karen, who shows off her newly discovered talent by blowing him under the table while her crazy mother sits in the corner. That is shameless. And we like it!
