Netflix streamers are losing their minds over one of the platform’s most popular series.
“Shameless is really…shameless! I mean these people, oh my goodness, the nerve,” wrote one member of the Netflix Bangers group on Facebook as others rushed to share their thoughts.
One person typed: “One of the best series I’ve ever watched,” while someone else quipped: “Freaking love it!” A third person said: “One of my favourites, such a dysfunctional family,” as another comment read: “Frank Gallagher, one of the best ever made character[s].”

“What a fantastic series?! One of the reasons I started watching cable shows…lead me to some other greats,” gushed one Netflix streamer. The US version of the show is based on a UK series with the same name and members of the group urged other users to “watch the UK one”.

Some people even compared the two: “It’s not even close to the original series,” “It’s ok. Not a patch on the original though” and “I prefer the original UK version”. Shameless is a drama series which ran for 11 series and was first aired in 2011.
The show stars The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White along with William H. Macy, Emmy Rossum, Cameron Monaghan, Ethan Cutkosky, Emma Kenney, Shanola Hampton, Steve Howey, Noel Fisher, Christian Isaiah and Justin Chatwin.

Netflix’s official description reads: “This dramedy based on a British series centres on siblings in a dysfunctional Chicago family who struggle while coping with their alcoholic father.”
Frank Gallagher, a single father, is the head of the family but is neglectful of his six children – Fiona, Phillip, Ian, Debbie, Carl and Liam. The group learn to fend for themselves as Frank is often out and about, getting high or drunk with whatever he can muster up.

When Shameless’ ninth season premiered, the show became Showtime’s longest running original scripted series. In 2020, the show was renewed for it’s eleventh and final season which was pushed back due to Covid-19.
The all star cast includes William H. Macy, who film fans will recognise from Fargo, Boogie Nights, Jurassic Park III, Wild Hogs and Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. Jeremy Allen White, who plays his son Lip, was recently awarded a Primetime Emmy and two Golden Globes for his role as Carmy in The Bear.
