"Shameless" on Showtime is an amazing show that comes back on in January. This is a remake of the British version. It tells the story of a poor family trying to do what they can to get by. Fiona, played by Emmy Rossum, is the oldest sibling and she takes care of the whole family, three brothers, and a sister. Also, her father is an alcoholic and is obviously not stable enough to be a father. Fiona tries her best to take care of this overbearing family as much as she can. The older brothers also try their best by working or getting paid to the SATs for other people. They are all trying to make their lives better than what they have.
This show is spectacular mainly because of the story lines. This is one of the few shows that I have seen where I all of the characters on the show each have a story line and a past that they reveal. This is very similar to "Orange is the Black" mainly because they usually have one episode devoted to each character and then bring it up later into the show. This show is worth watching even know you have to pay for it to watch on Showtime. It is spectacular and you might be shocked of what happens but it is raw, and edgy for a reason, it makes a point.
Grade = 86/100 = B
