Critics' reviews

"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: San Francisco Chronicle
"[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
