Does anyone watch Shameless in the UK

[UKBusinessLive]

I've heard of this for some time and watched it for the first time the other night, what a nightmare way to live

I was expecting to just watch a few minutes but ended watching the whole episode

Now it was funny to be honest, but do people really live like this??

For those that don't know what i'm on about heres a summary....



Shameless - Paul Abbott's critically acclaimed, offbeat drama about the rollercoaster lives and loves of the dysfunctional Gallagher clan. This is one family where father definitely does not know best...

It's been a tough year for our Chatsworth residents: we've seen them survive benefit fraud, brothels, stints in jail, stings-gone-wrong, fake suicides, cold turkey, lesbian romps, lingerie parties, abandonment and a family torn apart and put back together again. What else could possibly happen?

Patrick has lost his grip on his marriage and family - still haunted by dreams of his kidnapper, he resolves to banish his demons in order to take back control.
A man on a mission, he tracks down the woman responsible for what he has become - Maureen. Consequently, the Maguires will never, ever be the same again.

Frank becomes a self-styled martyr, but to his horror he discovers his child benefit has stopped. And so he sets out on a rampage of justice in an attempt to get it back.
Meanwhile, Maxine still harbours secret feelings for an oblivious Carl. When he embarks on a VIP night out, blagging his way into an exclusive club, Maxine comes up with a plan to teach him a lesson.

And with Mandy preparing to move in with Joe, Karen's guilt gets the better of her and she braces herself to tell Mandy her shocking secret.

Its one of those programs that you need to watch before you can try and explain it to anyone, Not the UK's version of prison break or 24, but certainly interesting.

I'll see if i can find some clips to add

heres one which isn't too rude
