I have watched so many TV shows in my life, but have never came across something like Shameless. All the characters are outstandingly realistic and they do grow on you. The show is equally funny and quite sad at the same time. It's very raw, it didn't shy away from portraying the deep emotions, no matter how disturbing or uncomfortable they are. This is one of the longest series with 11 seasons, 12 episodes of 50 minutes long in each season, but still, there are no dull moments really. This Gallagher family seemed very close to my heart, I miss them.
