Product Description
Shameless: The Complete Second Season William H. Macy stars in this racy and edgy adaptation of the long-running British family drama as Frank Gallagher, the alcoholic patriarch of a large, unconventional, blue-collar family. In the U.S. version, the sprawling Gallagher family has been transplanted to working-class Chicago during the challenging times of today's recession. Making ends meet is always difficult, especially with a mother who is AWOL and a father who usually ends up passed out on the living room floor. Emmy Rossum stars as oldest daughter Fiona, who is left to the often impossible task of keeping her five younger brothers and sisters on track.

Welcome back to another season of depravity starring the family who puts the fun in dysfunctional. The Gallaghers, central characters in Shameless, are "living crappily ever after," or so the tagline goes, and in this second season of the Showtime series (with 12 episodes, plus bonus material, on three discs) they more than live up to that billing--especially Frank (William H. Macy), a strong candidate for the worst fictional father figure since Darth Vader. In just the first three episodes, this unrepentant drunk puts up his 2-year-old son as collateral after losing a ridiculous $10,000 bet; steals an engagement ring another man intends to give to the daughter of Sheila (Joan Cusack), the agoraphobic widow Frank regularly sponges off of; and withholds the news that a heart has become available for transplanting into a dying woman friend whose pension Frank hopes to steal. As before, all of this leaves his six kids to pretty much fend for themselves. They include twentysomething Fiona (Emmy Rossum), the de facto mom, who takes care of five siblings and manages to hold the whole thing together while barely staying a step ahead of her own tangled love life; Lip (Jeremy Allen White), a scam artist who's smart, resourceful, and caring; Ian (Cameron Monaghan), who despite his homosexuality yearns to attend West Point and join the army; and Debbie (Emma Kenney), who runs a daycare operation out of their home (the family also rents out Frank's bedroom to a pregnant Chinese woman and a prostitute) while anxiously awaiting the onset of adolescence. These are the characters we come to root for, and who give the show its heart and soul. As for their dad… well, once his mother (a hardened criminal brilliantly portrayed by Louise Fletcher) shows up, it's clear the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. And while Macy is excellent in the lead role (in one of the bonus features he discusses the challenges of playing a character that's perpetually wasted), the days when we chuckled along with lovable drunks like Dean Martin and Foster Brooks are long gone. And there's not much lovable about Frank Gallagher anyway; in addition to being an alcoholic, he's a liar, a thief, and a self-entitled freeloader whose own kids don't want him living under the same roof as them. Shameless is smart, well written, and humorous (in a black, satirical kind of way), but perhaps not for everyone. Bonus features also include featurettes, unaired scenes, and a preview of season three. --Sam Graham

The series continues to be well written and acted. William H. Macy and Emmy Rossum still hold their own as the series leads and continue doing a great job as the characters of Frank and Fiona. This season Jeremy Allen Wright as Lip and Laura Slade Wiggins as Karen, really steal a lot of the episodes. Even as a show that has very few "good" characters, but mostly characters that have varying degrees of horribleness, the writers and actors manage to make you feel for, and even root for, the characters.
For those who get the blu ray set, the extras include several behind the scenes and making-of featurettes, as well as deleted scenes for many, but not all, of the episodes. All totaled, there are probably around 50 minutes, give-or-take, of bonus material. As was the case in season one, there is a lot of drinking, drug use, sex, and swearing that goes on. So, if that turns you off to a show, then this one is not for you. It does have a lot of dark humor in it, but I would not say that it glorifies or totally makes fun of dysfunctional people and families. I would say if you liked or loved season one, then you will probably feel the same way about this season. On the other hand, if you hated the first season, this season is probably not going to make you a fan.
Shameless is one of the best shows to come along in a long time. Sometimes the depictions of life on America's edge are so real I can barely watch. While veteran character actors like Wm Macy and Joan Cusack deliver every week, the children in this show are phenomenal. Some of the best acting from young people I have ever seen. Lip breaks my heart - a brilliant kid with no blueprint for success. Karen and Fiona are two sides of the same coin - achingly vulnerable one minute and steel backbone the next. I have been Fiona at times in my life (as a single mother in poverty) the actress hits so many nuanced notes - brilliant. whoever writes this knows the alcoholic dance intimately and is fearless. Thank you to all involved in this amazing show. I cannot wait for next January!
This show is very well written and the actors fit their characters extremely well. this show is a real down and dirty type of show that has real life situations and puts it into a show. this is my favorite show that is a mixture of drama and comedy at some parts. although this family may by dysfunctional, there are times of real unity which makes the show even better.
Please let me know if my review has helped you in your inquiry or purchase!
Each character is brilliantly defined; shaking off the cliches so easy to fall back on: Poor white trash family with kids in constant trouble and absentee/drunk/user parents. That's an easy plot that almost writes itself for crappy network television, but the storylines defy triteness and the intelligence shown through each character's story arc, especially when they have to rely on each other in a truly familial during crisis feels inspiring and honest. Especially when things don't end well.
I'd usually downgrade a show with so much gratuitous language, sex, nudity and violence, but this is the exception and the vulgarity really polishes rough edges – or maybe keeps it from seeming too one-dimensional. The balance of tragedy to comedy is near perfect and I'm finding myself thinking of characters days after watching. A series done extremely well and it gives me hope for the future of TV serials.
