Shameless (British version)

Shameless is an American soap opera television series developed by John Wells that aired on Showtime from January 9, 2011, to April 11, 2021. It is an adaptation of Paul Abbott's British series of the same name and features an ensemble cast led by William H. Macy and Emmy Rossum. The series is set in the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. ^[1]

With the premiere of the ninth season on September 9, 2018, Shameless became the longest-running original-scripted series in Showtime's history. ^{[2] [3]} In January 2020, the series was renewed for its eleventh and final season, which was scheduled to premiere in mid-2020, but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic; it instead premiered on December 6, 2020. ^[4] On December 14, 2020, Showtime announced that they were airing a clip show series during Season 11, titled Shameless: Hall of Shame, containing new scenes juxtaposed with clips from the show to summarize the characters' journeys during the prior 10 seasons. ^[5] The series finale aired on April 11, 2021.

Premise

The series depicts the poor, dysfunctional family of Frank Gallagher, a neglectful substance dependent single father of six: Fiona, Phillip, Ian, Debbie, Carl, and Liam. As he spends his days getting high and drunk, his kids run through endless scams, affairs, and petty crimes throughout Chicago just to survive. The show's producers sought to distinguish this production from previous American working-class shows by highlighting how Frank's alcohol and drug addiction affects his family.

Cast and characters

Main article: List of Shameless (American TV series) characters

• William H. Macy as Frank Gallagher, the patriarch of the Gallagher family and father to Sammi, Fiona, Lip, Carl, Debbie, and Liam, and uncle to Ian, whom he raises as his son. He is an alcoholic and chronically unemployed, instead making money through various scams. He is a narcissist and cares only about his next drink or drugs, often endangering or abandoning his children to fulfill his own needs. Despite being egocentric, Frank does love his children and at times proves himself a better parent. Until one day, Frank gets diagnosed with alcohol dementia, after decades of drinking, without telling his children in season 11.
• Emmy Rossum as Fiona Gallagher, the feisty, street-smart eldest Gallagher sibling, who raises the children on her own due to Frank and Monica's neglect, and eventually becomes their legal guardian. She struggles with addiction, impulsive behavior and self-destructive tendencies. (seasons 1–9)
• Justin Chatwin as Steve Wilton / Jimmy Lishman, a car thief who is the love interest of Fiona for the first three seasons. (seasons 1–3; special guest season 4; recurring season 5)
• Ethan Cutkosky as Carl Gallagher, the third Gallagher brother, who has a tendency for trouble making as a child, and goes to juvenile prison as a teenager, but grows up to be a policeman after witnessing a murder and wanting to help the poor.
• Shanola Hampton as Veronica "V" Fisher, Fiona’s best friend and neighbor, who lives with her husband Kevin and, later, their twin daughters. She and Kevin often help out the Gallaghers, being their only real adult role models.

• Emma Kenney as Debbie Gallagher, the strong-willed youngest Gallagher daughter, who becomes a mother at age 15.

Production

Development

Shameless was adapted from a long-running, award-winning British television comedy drama of the same name. ^[6] HBO began developing an American version of Shameless after striking a deal with John Wells in January 2009. ^[7] By April of that year, development had moved to Showtime. John Wells Productions taped a pilot episode for the cable network in December 2009. ^{[8] [9]} The show's creator Paul Abbott said, "It's not My Name Is Earl or Roseanne. It's got a much graver level of poverty attached to it. It's not blue collar, it's no collar." ^[9] Showrunner John Wells fought efforts to place the show in the South or in a trailer park. "We have a comedic tradition of making fun of the people in those worlds," he said. "The reality is that these people aren't 'the other'—they're people who live four blocks down from you and two blocks over." ^[9]

William H. Macy stars in the lead role as Frank Gallagher, joined by Emmy Rossum as Fiona and Justin Chatwin as Steve, former co-stars from Dragonball Evolution . ^{[10] [11]} Paul Abbott, whose semi-autobiographical telescript was the basis for the British pilot, is credited as an executive producer on the American version. ^[9]

In April 2010, Showtime green-lit the series with a 12-episode order. ^[12]

Before William H. Macy took the role, Woody Harrelson was originally considered to play the character Frank Gallagher in the 2010 remake. ^[13]

The Sheila Jackson character (a romantic interest for Frank), was first portrayed by Allison Janney in a pilot; however, in late August 2010, the role was recast and Joan Cusack ended up playing Sheila for the aired episodes. ^[14] Production began in mid-September. ^[14]

A preview of the pilot aired on December 12, 2010, after the Season 5 finale of Dexter . The first season officially began airing on Showtime on Sunday, January 9, 2011. ^[15]

The series is set in Chicago's Back of the Yards neighborhood on the South Side. ^{[16] [17] [18]} The house that the Gallaghers call home is an actual house in an actual Chicago neighborhood and has been visited by fans. ^[19]

Most episodes begin with one of the main characters breaking the fourth wall to berate the viewer about missing previous episodes. Then the show cuts to a recap montage of plot points relevant to the current episode, followed by the opening title sequence.

Filming

The series is mostly filmed at a Los Angeles studio, with some scenes filmed in Chicago. ^[20] Despite most of the filming being done in California, most of the houses and other notable locations can actually be found in the Southside of Chicago, Illinois. ^[21] Initial shooting of the second season began on July 5, 2011 ^[22] and premiered January 8, 2012. ^[23] The series was renewed for a third season on February 1, 2012, ^[24] and initial shooting began June 27, 2012. ^[25] The third season premiered on January 13, 2013, and two weeks later on January 29, Shameless was renewed for a fourth season. ^[26] It premiered January 12, 2014. On February 18, 2014, the series was renewed for a fifth season. ^[27] Production on the first episode of the fifth season began on July 3, 2014 with the first episode table read, ^[28] with initial shooting for the season beginning on July 8, 2014. ^{[29] [30]} The series was renewed for a sixth season on January 12, 2015. ^[31] Shameless was renewed for a 12-episode seventh season on January 12, 2016. ^[32] Season 7 premiered on October 2, 2016.

In December 2016, it was reported that Emmy Rossum, after multiple seasons of being paid significantly less than her co-star William H. Macy, requested that she be paid equally and compensated in future seasons to make up for the previous salary discrepancies. The equal pay negotiations, which were vocally supported by her co-star Macy, ^[33] briefly delayed work on an eighth season of the series while she and Warner Bros. Television negotiated. The dispute came to an end on December 14, when Rossum confirmed through Twitter that she would continue to work on the series, with production of an eighth season to begin in May 2017. ^[34] On December 19, 2016, Showtime officially announced that Shameless had been renewed for an eighth season. ^[35] Just days after the eighth season premiere, it was announced that the show had been renewed for a ninth, which would bring the show past the 100-episode mark. ^{[36] [37]}

In August 2018, Rossum announced her departure from Shameless after nine seasons playing Fiona Gallagher. ^[38] In October 2018, Cameron Monaghan also announced his departure from the series after playing Ian Gallagher for nine seasons; however, it was later announced Monaghan was expected to return for the tenth season. ^[39]

On January 13, 2020, it was announced that the series had been renewed for its eleventh and final season, which had been scheduled to air in summer 2020 but was then delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and that Macy, White, Cutkosky, Hampton, Howey, Kenney, Monaghan, Fisher, Miner, and Isaiah would all return for the series' final season. ^[40] Production on the final season commenced on September 8, 2020. ^[41] Production for the final season ended on March 12, 2021.

Music

The theme song for Shameless is "The Luck You Got" by indie rock group The High Strung. The majority of the music featured in the series is from indie rock bands. The pilot episode used music from artists such as Cream, Spoon, Say Hi, 3OH!3, The Vines, The Moog, and LMFAO. ^[42] The show has also featured music from Let's Wrestle, Eels, The Blue Van, Cake, Jimmy Eat World, Alien Crime Syndicate, Capital Cities, Future Islands, The Fleeting Ends, Witchrider and Johnny Foreigner.

In promotion for the second-season premiere, the entire cast sang their own version of a Christmas carol, entitled "Shameless: Christmas Carol". ^{[43] [44] [45]}

Broadcast

Shameless premiered on January 9, 2011 in the United States, becoming Showtime's highest-rated series debut on record across the network's target demographic. The first episode of the series generated 982,000 unique viewers and was Showtime's largest audience for a series premiere since Dead Like Me in 2003.

The fourth episode, "Casey Casden", airing January 30, posted 1.45 million total viewers. Shameless was the cable channel's best-performing first-year drama. Defying the usual downward trend following a premiere, the series built on its initial audience, becoming number one in its time slot among adults aged 18 through 49. Subsequent episodes' audiences fluctuated between a million and 1.14 million viewers. The March 27, 2021 season finale, "Father Frank, Full of Grace," drew an audience of 1.157 million.

The third season's premiere episode, "El Gran Cañon" (airing January 13, 2013), drew 2 million viewers, becoming the show's highest rated episode to date. It then maintained average ratings of just below a million viewers throughout the remainder of its episodes.

Reception

Critical reception

Tim Goodman of The Hollywood Reporter said that "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". The show's first season score on Metacritic is a 66 of 100, which is a generally favorable review. The second season score on Metacritic is a 76 of 100, indicating increasingly favorable reviews. ^[46] Tom O'Neill of the Los Angeles Times reported on the Emmy buzz about Shameless, especially with respect to the performance of Emmy Rossum. He said "she didn't have much Emmy buzz after Shameless debuted in January, but that changed after she gave powerhouse turns in such episodes as 'But at Last Came a Knock'". ^[47] BuddyTV ranked Shameless #8 on its list of 2011's best new TV shows. ^[48] Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes gave the first season a 'fresh' rating of 70% based on 37 reviews, with the critical consensus "Shameless is a dark, urban dramedy that overcomes its leaps of logic thanks to fantastic casting, intriguing ambiance, and shock value." Seasons 2–8 each have an above 90% rating as of 2021, with the exception of season 7, which has an 88% rating. Seasons 9, 10, and 11 have the lowest ratings with 73%, 20%, and 70% respectively as of February 2022. ^[49]

Ratings

The first episode of the series, "Pilot", was watched by 982,000 viewers, making it the network's biggest turnout for a series premiere since Dead Like Me in 2003. ^[50] The episode airing January 30, "Casey Casden", received 1.45 million total viewers, making Shameless the best performing first-year drama on Showtime. ^[51]
