Drama, comedy

The show deals with the family of Frank Gallagher, an irresponsible man who spend his time to drink and try to take advantage of the money that the state send him to take care of his family. His wife left him and their six children. But, Frank is not one of the fathers who takes care of his children.
So, the children learns to take care of the each other, under the authority of the bigger sister Fiona, who learns that raising kids and take care of a family is not an easy task. Fiona is helped by her friends Veronica and Kevin.
The others children are :
- Philip : A smart teenager who use his intelligence to sale drugs and past tests for his classmates. Even though he is very smart, Philip is not considerate as responsable, he's often shown with cigarettes or a drink.
- Ian : He works at a grocery shore and particip to army class proposed by his school. Ian is gay but only his family knows it. He's not the biological son of Franck but live under his roof though.

-Liam : He's the last children of the family, his mother tries to get him back but Fiona and his family won't let her.

 What do I think about Shameless : Shameless is really different from the other Tv show that I know. It's a really pragmatic show where we can see that some people are in need but they'll do anything to take care of their family even thought it's complicated.
But, the show is also full of jokes, of laughs that makes us relativized as the drama sides of the show.
Every singles episodes are full of emotions : Sadness, anger, hapiness, surprise. We never get bored.
This show actually taugh me 3 things : Some people are ready to do anthing to their family, some people only cares about themselves, some people are ready to help their friends no matter what.

This picture shows laughs, warmth, and a loving family.
But, on the left we can saw the father, Frank, alone.
It's representative because Frank never shared anything with them.

A fight between Frank, Philip, and Ian.

This picture seems really like a fight between a father and his sons. We can see the anger on Frank's eyes, the eyes of Ian seems like he's ready to fight with him, and the other son looks like he's on his brothers sides and he want to punch Frank.

Fiona and Steve, her boyfriend.

Shameless is a show full of anger and sadness but also full of love. And that kind of picture shows that even when it's wrong, there's always someone to make you smile.
