A customer from Wigan, Lancs , 14/01/2005

Having just caught up with series 2, I felt I had to watch the first series.

This was certainly no let down, thoroughly enjoyed it. A must see for all who missed it.

Rated - 5 starsThe Best British TV Series In Years

MarkGreetham from Worcs , 01/04/2005

Firstly I have to admit that I didn't see this on Channel 4 - several colleagues have been banging on about this so I thought I'd give it a spin - for what ever reasons I didn't have high expectations.

Simply put this is the best TV series in years. The comedy is subtle and very dark (think Alan Bleasdale - but set in Manchester).

Unlike comedies like The Office that single characters out, every character in Shameless takes on a life of their own - and each performance is outstanding.

There is bad language and sexual references in nearly every episode - but that's just like life, and Shameless exploits these qualtities to the full.

Shameless shows how good british TV can be. Simply fantastic.

Rated - 4 starsSuperb entertainment

A customer from Birmingham England , 04/02/2005

Worth every moment - superb acting, great characters and top notch humour. The 2 extras are short but fun (interesting to see Paul Abbot interview).

Rated - 5 starsAbsolutly Superb

Schmiddle from Wales , 02/03/2005

Just to put the matter straight the series although based in Manchester is actualy based on Paul's upbringing in Burnley and most of the characters are still living larger than life in and around there.

This was most definitely the best show of the year and the DVD deserves to go straight in at No 1 for its originality and lets be truthful here Pauls natural ablility to make people laugh.

P.S if you don't like swearing don't rent it (and stay away from Burnley)
