Shameless

ComedyCrimeDrama47 min per episode

On Manchester’s fictional Chatsworth estate, the Gallagher family lurches from one crisis to the next as they try to hold a household together with too little money, too little supervision, and no stable plan. The children fend for themselves, raise each other, and chase whatever scheme might keep food on the table or trouble at bay, while the adults around them drift between neglect, hustles, and chaos. Every episode pulls their private mess into the wider life of the estate, where neighbors, local feuds, petty crime, and class pressure keep colliding. The series turns family survival into a running battle, finding comedy and damage in the same cramped streets.
