Shameless is arguably the best series I've ever watched, bar none. Acting is superb, writing is superb, All the characters just doing an excellent job representing their character. I look forward to watching each episode over any other. The writers unfold a real world (reality almost) type family series that's pretty screwed up but each year as they grow older they come into their own and show they all can contribute to the betterment of society (except Frank of course whose acting is committed to self preservation thru drugs, etc.). I really hoping that Fiona ( the family glue) returns before the series ends. I really loved her acting.
