"Shameless"

The truth is... I'm not keen on TV series at all, because I just watch cartoons or anime on TV. But if I have to talk about a TV series that I really have enjoyed and I think is a great show, I will talk about "Shameless UK", because I think that this show gives us the necessary dose of social realism that all of us need in our lives.

Shameless story takes place in England, and talks about the lives of Frank Gallagher, an intelligent but wastefull alcoholic and his large, dysfunctional family, but as the show progressed it also widened the scope to include other occupants of the Chatsworth State like the Maguire family, who is a big drug dealer family with a lot of problems. As the series pass throught series 1 to 7, we can appreciate how some characters grow (like Frank's kids) and how another characters leave or things like that. The main idea of Shameless  is to make a realist idea of "human comedy" showing all the rough aspects of the life of those people that just try to survive in this big game called life; like homosexuality, explicit sex, drug dealing, pedophilia, prostitution, robbery, bullying, atheism, lies, corruption, violence and many other things that can give us the idea of how cruel life could be or all the things that people are decided to do in order to survive.

I like Shameless a lot because it show me all the hidden things that people can do to survive, because it show me that the life sometimes could be very different for some people, like a parallel world. And for me it's different and special because Shameless gives me that dose of sarcasm, of cruel reality that no other shows can offer.
