Watch the Irish American family The Gallagher's deal with their alcoholic father Frank. Fiona the eldest daughter takes the roll of parent to her 5 brother's & sister's. Lip, Ian, Debbie, Carl & Liam (half white & half black) deal with life in the South Side projects of Chicago. Fiona balances her sex life & raising her siblings. Every episode is another crazy situation that 1 or more of the Gallagher 6 get into. Watch them grow & learn how to make their way in life with what little they have. Written by Linda Taylor
Many of the reviews on here are complaining about how much the U.S. version copies the original. I've not seen a single episode of the original and, to me, the U.S. version is well acted, entertaining and perhaps one of my new favorites. I could care less that it's word for word from the original because this is all new to me. The actors portray the characters amazingly and I feel the storyline represents struggling families realistically. Each character will remind you of someone you know or have known. So for those who are like me and you've never seen the original, I absolutely suggest checking out Shameless, the U.S. remake. I look forward to seeing the rest of the season and maybe one day I'll even check out the original.
