Shameless: The Complete Series DVD review
Mar 22, 2025- Permalink
The TV series Shameless is another in a long line of shows adapted for US audiences from a British original. The US version, adapted by John Wells, ran on Showtime from 2011 to 2021 and gave us 134 episodes over 11 seasons. The ensemble series follows a dysfunctional Chicago family led by Frank Gallagher (William H. Macy). Frank feeds his addictions with various scams, while his six children are no more model citizens than their father. The large ensemble cast also includes Emmy Rossum, Justin Chatwin, Ethan Cutkosky, Shanola Hampton, Steve Howey, Emma Kenney, Jeremy Allen White, Cameron Monaghan, Noel Fisher, Joan Cusack, Laura Slade Wiggins, Zach McGowan, Emma Greenwell, Jake McDorman, Emily Bergl, Isidora Goreshter, Richard Flood, Christian Isaiah and Kate Miner. Warner Brothers Discovery Home Entertainment has now released Shameless: The Complete Series on DVD and I had a chance to take a look. The WB likes disclaimers, so here goes: Though Warner Brothers provided me with a copy of this release to review, the thoughts and opinions below are mine.
