Rushdi I @Rushinz888 Feb 11 Absolutely obsessed with Shameless UK 🇬🇧🔥 What an iconic series — raw, hilarious, chaotic, and somehow deeply heartfelt all at once. The Gallagher family are absolute legends, and the show captures working-class Britain with such honesty, grit, and humour. 😂🍻 Every episode is unpredictable, outrageous, and packed with unforgettable moments that make you laugh, cringe, and care all at the same time. Frank Gallagher is one of the most unhinged characters ever put on TV 🤯, yet the show balances madness with real emotion and social commentary in such a powerful way. It’s bold, fearless, and unapologetically British 🇬🇧❤️ — pure Manchester energy, pure chaos, pure brilliance. If you want a series that’s hilarious, real, and wildly entertaining from start to finish, Shameless UK is elite TV 👑📺 Absolute 10/10 — forever a classic 🙌🔥 See more 03/27/2021 I binged the entire series while recovering from a broken foot-loved it, still re-watch it! If you like the American version you may have a hard time with the British one at first but give it a chance-it is actually better! You'll notice right away it's not as polished, doesn't have that Hollywood feel that the U. S. version has but that ends up being a plus. And it gets better with each season. You may wish it had sub-titles if you are not British! The whole cast was great and David Threlfall played a spot-on comically derelict, pathetically self-centered Dad. Like Dudley Moore's Arthur if he had no money, a bunch of neglected kids , and less personal charm. Worth watching! See more Read all reviews
