Critics' reviews

"[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"

Myles McNutt: AV Club
"[10th Season Review]: it succumbs to the typical faults that plague Shameless. Nevertheless, it’s still an enjoyable return to this dysfunctional family."

Daniel Kurland: Den of Geek
"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"

Tim Goodman: The Hollywood Reporter
"Shameless is deftly adapted and surprisingly appealing, crude, funny and also touching"

Alessandra Stanley: The New York Times
"Abbott makes sure the quirkiness of the Gallaghers is firmly rooted in three-dimensional, credible characterization. You never feel a bit of inauthenticity here."

David Wiegand: SFGATE
"[The] sentimental streak in the show is compensated by Frank's coldness and the scrappy urban realism, translated so effectively from the British original."

Matthew Gilbert: Boston Globe
"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."

Mary McNamara: Los Angeles Times
