Advantages: Its funny, funny, funny.

Disadvantages: Characters come and go like the postman.

You wont like it so dont watch it. Well, thats what I would say to anyone living any further south than Birmingham, maybe...

Created by Paul Abbott, Shameless is about a Family growing up and living on an estate in the middle of Manchester. And it isnt any old estate. With a Mob Type Family living next door, and with currently at least SEVEN people living in the Gallaghers household, this could be your general Southern stereotype of a Northern Family. Shame we arent all as funny as this program.

I couldnt say whether you would like this or not, but its worth finding out. Im pretty sure every Northerner will love it.

The main character in this is Frank, who is your typical unemployed bum, who thinks he has ideas about how the Country is run, and how it works, but only views these views when hes had a tank-full of Lager and a few 'E's' down his neck. The fact that he babbles a load of rubbish partially makes him the entertaining character he is, but the majority of it is Toilet Humor that really does hit home. Nothings funnier than swearing, well, at least thats my view. Bottom, Red Dwarf and Shameless all tell me that. There has even been a character in previous seasons that has Tourettes Syndrome. Problem there, is that he left, as have many other people. Shameless seems to suffer from that kind of scenario, whereas the actors and actresses leaving dont really go onto bigger and better things.

Whether you agree or not, this show pushes the boundaries of what Comedy can actually touch upon, and get away with, but lets not forget, its Comedy. Its like a fictional world, where anything and everything can be ridiculed without the Political Correctness of the Country and the World stopping people from actually enjoying it.

Recommended ten times over, because I love it!

Summary: Bunch of Mancs claiming benefits and making us laugh? Recipe for success.
