DVD Reviews of Shameless - The Complete First Season

DVD Review: British comedy at it's finest
Summary: 5 Stars

This video is amazing. I bought this video because the humour is raw and exciting. I lived in the UK for 4 years and I remember the "council housing" and how it fits in with British culture.
Hilarious and the plot has more twists and quirks that keep you guessing as to what is going to happen next. Adult comedy and not suited to young children, or very young teens. My wife and I anxiously await the release of the remainder of seasons 2-5 for the North American DVD zone.

DVD Review: Great Show
Summary: 5 Stars

This is one of the most true to life TV programmes I have seen in a long time.

Great writing and great performances from the cast and very very funny.

Buy this you will not be dissapointed!

DVD Review: Freakin' Hilarious
Summary: 5 Stars

This is best comedy series I've seen. S'got drama too, and a lot of love between the Gallaghers and friends. There is some nudity and ribald sex scenes, but if that doesn't put you off you'll laugh out loud and fall in love with all the amazing characters in this series. Region 1 for Series 2 please, ASAP! Or I'll have to break down and buy an all region player!

DVD Review: Shameless is hilarious!
Summary: 5 Stars

Shameless is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen! I have been really frustrated that season 2 has not been released in the US, but I was lucky enough to find that they were showing season 2 on the Sundance Channel. I only missed the first 2 episodes and got to see the rest! They are starting season 3 this Sunday June 20. I am excited to see that too. The reason I watched Shameless to begin with is James McAvoy. He is great in the show! Ann-Marie Duff is also really great! I just love those two together! I make sure to watch the show with subtitles, they talk so fast it is hard for an ignorant American (such as myself :)) to catch everything w/ their thick accents. It is much funnier when you understand everything they are saying, I highly recommend it!

DVD Review: Very funny
Summary: 5 Stars

Hilarious.....If you appreciate British humor, this is for you. I'm just waiting for the rest to come out for region 1.

Description of Shameless - The Complete First Season

Meet the Gallaghers. Mum went AWOL years ago Dad stayed at home with the six children only to hit the bottle ... and sometimes the kids... Blisteringly funny offbeat drama following the rollercoaster lives and loves of an anarchic family from Manchester. The real head of the family is big sister Fiona who looks after Carl Debbie and baby Liam. She is occasionally helped more often hindered by streetwise 'Lip' and the actively gay but very private Ian. Welcome to the hectic world of sexual adventures triumphs love scams and a fair bit of crime on a rough Manchester housing estate where wheel-less cars are the norm and the moving ones are stolen.Running Time: 342 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC:?794051288721 Manufacturer No:?E2887

This "top (effen) notch" BBC series is set in a Manchester, England, public-housing project where the Gallagher clan gets by with a little help from their friends and each other. They certainly can't count on Frank (David Threfall), their on-the-dole dad, whose time around the house is mostly spent drunkenly passed out on the floor. Mom abandoned them years before. That leaves Fiona (Anne-Marie Duff), the eldest daughter, to be surrogate parent and help make the best of their hardscrabble lives in a place that, Frank observes, will never be mistaken for the Garden of Eden. The seven episodes that comprise the first series are a riot of family dysfunction. Cheeky oldest brother Lip (Jody Latham) discovers his younger sibling, Ian (Gerard Kearns), is gay and is having an affair with the local Muslin grocer. He enlists his girlfriend, Karen (Rebecca Atkinson), to initiate Ian (to no avail). Karen's agoraphobic mother, Sheila (Maggie O'Neill) is married to a religious fanatic, who abandons them after he discovers his daughter's sinful ways, opening the door for Frank to move in (and juggle clandestine affairs with both mother and daughter). Meanwhile, Fiona meets Steve (James McAvoy), a nice guy and prosperous car salesman (too bad the cars are stolen).

Lending the Gallaghers a hand is neighbor Veronica (Maxine Peake), fiercely loyal and protective and a ferocious force of nature. One of her sidelights is ironing topless for the benefit of horny Internet viewers. Frank says it best when he asks at one point, "Is anyone around here normal?" Written by Paul Abbott, Shameless has the same gritty setting and generous spirit as Mike Leigh's Life Is Sweet. Prodigious use of the F-word and some fleeting full-frontal nudity notwithstanding, Shameless, would feel at home on American basic cable. The optional subtitles are recommended to make better sense of the thick accents and slang. --Donald Liebenson
