Shamelessly brilliant! - By: Mutian, 21 Nov 2008 
Having seen the fifth season of Shameless earlier this year I thought I'd go back to the beginning & buy the first series. It's an insight on estate life (though much exaggerated!!) & every cast member gives funny, loveable performances. It is very well written & will have youin pain from laughing so much.
No shame in loving Shameless - By: MsLondoncalling, 02 Aug 2008 
I only recently thought I'd give this series a go, mainly because of James McAvoy, who sadly departs the series after season 2. I am now moving on to season 3 & see myself still being glued by the time I get to season 5. I still miss the character of James, but the rest of the family are so hilarious & 'real' that it's difficult to leave this Manchester Housing Estate until I have to. You may feel the same.
grand stuff hey - By: sean paul mccann, 12 Aug 2007 series one of the great series doesnt stutter or edge its way into character & form,it just bombs the place with the gallagher family led by the father,frank who is a waste of space ultimately as he rarely sees the world without drunken eyes,and his 6 kids who are raised by the eldest fiona.
Along with neighbours veronica & kevin & other minor characters the show takes form to draw shocks,laughs & sentiment out of the viewer & to its credit manages on all fronts,frank wakingin paris with a look of utter confusion is one of the great scenes,of which there are many.
Shameless works because although there is the argument for over the top at times,the show doesnt take itself seriously or swagger with an air of arrogance,at times its simple & never out complexes itself,laughs come & go,drama does the same & so do the shocks which have given the show a real individuality,cracking series & well worth some of your cash.
Amazing!! - By: Ms. Lorraine Cox, 09 Aug 2006 I have never been really interstedin shameless at all, but i have took it upon myself & bought series one & two of shameless. So far i have watched all seven episodes of series one & it was so good. I didnt think i would be into all that sex, nudity & and bad language, but the good thing is there is an actual story to the series, & its a reflection on what life can be like for those peoplein an estate. This is a must see, & nobody can call it until they watch it.
Best Comedy Award - By: Shirley Saha, 06 May 2006 This has to be the funniest comedy I have seenin a long time. it doesn't matter how many times I watch it I always end up nearly wetting myself laughing.
