    Macy, Rossum & Co. have never been more explosively entertaining, while this year's hilarious story setups are deviously par for the course on TV's most insane, debaucherous dose of weekly WTF. [24 Jan 2014, p.65]

    Shameless’s balance between humor and despicableness is a lesson in narrative wallowing that “Girls” ought to study.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. Shameless is still one of my favorite TV shows of all time. Season 4 gave another perfect blending of funny comedy and deep, touching, and heartbreaking drama. This was another season of astounding acting especially standout emotionally powerful and deep performances from Noel Fisher, Cameron Monaghan, and Emmy Rossum as well as other performances from William H. Macy, Emily Bergl, Joan Cusack, Emma Kenney, Steve Howey, Jeremy Allen White, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Emma Greenwell, and Isidora Goreshter. Just another season of outstanding chemistry between the cast. Another season of exceptional writing, I really love Ian and Mickey's crazy and dysfunctional but cute, sweet, beautiful, and touching love story. The character development was remarkable especially with Mickey, Ian, Fiona, Kev, Shelia, Lip, Frank, Debbie, and Mandy. The makeup and hairstyling was phenomenal especially on William H. Macy (especially while in "hospice" at Shelia's and at the hospital), Emily Bergl, Emma Greenwell, Nichole Bloom, Emmy Rossum, Joan Cusack, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Noel Fisher, Isidora Goreshter, and Shanola Hampton. The costumes were terrific especially on Noel Fisher, Cameron Monaghan, Joan Cusack, Emily Bergl, William H. Macy, Isidora Goreshter, Emma Greenwell, Emmy Rossum, Emma Kenney, and Shanola Hampton. The music was excellent. Shameless just keeps getting better with every season and this show may be crazy but it is also beautiful underneath all the crazy, another A+ season. Full Review »
