What is Netflix’s Shameless About?
Shameless is based on a British original but shaped into something very American. At the center is Frank Gallagher, the alcoholic father played by William H. Macy, completely unreliable and always in the middle of another personal disaster. His daughter Fiona, played by Emmy Rossum, holds what’s left of the family together. One by one, the other Gallagher siblings, Lip, Ian, Carl and Debbie, get pulled into stories full of tension and bad decisions.

Jeremy Allen White Shines as Lip Gallagher in the Long-Running Series
Jeremy Allen White, who plays Lip Gallagher, portrayed his character exceptionally well. Fans now know him from The Bear and recently got hyped after seeing him appear in the trailer for The Mandalorian and Grogu movie, where he plays Rotta the Hutt, per Unilad. But long before Disney added him to their universe, Shameless gave him space to grow into one of the most addictive performances on TV.
