Advantages: really funny but also a lot of drama

Disadvantages: portrays Britain in a very bad way

Personally, I love this comedy/drama series on E4 and Channel 4 but if you're easily offended by bad language, drugs, sex and violence then this show probably isn't for you. It is created by Paul Abbott and so far there have been five series, each episode lasting approximately 50 minutes. The show is set on a fictional estate, Chatsworth, in Manchester and focuses on the lives of the various Chatsworth Estate residents.

Here are some of the main characters:

Frank Gallagher- The pill popping father to numerous children. Always in the pub off his face, usually on a deadly concoction of drugs AND alcohol.

Lip Gallagher- The eldest son of Frank and Monica. Recently left to study at university, he has a daughter called Katie.

Ian Gallagher- He is the son of Monica but not of Frank. He works as a barman in the local, also into drugs. Ian is gay and the only person that doesn't know is Frank.

Carl Gallagher- Frank and Monica's fourth eldest son. He is not so much into drugs but very into girls and sex.

Debbie Gallagher- The sensible one. She is always trying to fix problems in the family and took on the role of mother to her brothers and sisters.

As I said, I love this show but i definately wouldn't recommend it to anyone who is easily offended!

Summary: Good drama
