SHAMELESS:COMPLETE FIRST SEASON

The Gallagher family are the basis for this British sitcom, which flows from the pen of acclaimed writer Paul Abbott. Fiona, Lip, Carl, Liam, Ian and Debbie are the sons and daughters of Frank Gallagher, and he even found the time to sire another two kids with his lover, Sheila. The mother of the family disappeared years ago, so responsibility falls on the shoulders of the oldest sister, Fiona, who has to cope with innumerable problems as the family members go through all-too familiar growing pains. Plenty of sex, scandal and a lot of laughs ensue as the first season of Shameless unravels.
