	Author	Review
United States	Myles McNutt AV Club	"[10th Season Review]: You get the feeling that when Wells and the writers sit down to write a new season [and] they mentally erase 90% of what happened in previous seasons"	NEG
United States	Daniel Kurland Den of Geek	"[10th Season Review]: it succumbs to the typical faults that plague Shameless. Nevertheless, it’s still an enjoyable return to this dysfunctional family."	NEU
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Shameless is excellent, compelling television from the first moment. As long as it stays true to the roots of the original, it's going to be essential viewing"	POS
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"Shameless is deftly adapted and surprisingly appealing, crude, funny and also touching"	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"Abbott makes sure the quirkiness of the Gallaghers is firmly rooted in three-dimensional, credible characterization. You never feel a bit of inauthenticity here."	POS
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"[The] sentimental streak in the show is compensated by Frank's coldness and the scrappy urban realism, translated so effectively from the British original."	POS
United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"It's clear that Wells has nothing but respect for the original material (...) Unfortunately, [Wells] seems to have bought into the notion that Americans need everything to be bigger, louder, messier and drawn in primary colors."	NEU
