Reflection Task 2B

     Because of my endless love to this series, I chose Shameless. Shameless is about a family story who live in a suburb neighbourhood of Chicago with 6 children and 1 father. This story tells the combination of drama and comedy of the Gallagher family. They are such an incredible family that they don’t have any kind of shame, decency and fear. In this family, everyone lives his/her own family, but everyone has to save her/himself. However, when a member of this family needs something, Gallagher family works like a team.

     When we look the technical side, filming process is really great. Although the staff consist of young actors, acting of each player is flawless. The series is so real that it is impossible to publish the full version in TV. In each episode, directors have to cut the 2-3 minutes of episode. These scenes which contain nudity or fighting reflect the relax side and frame of mind of the director or scenario writer. Like all the other fans of the series, I have a favourite actor, too. My favourite is the characters Lip Gallagher who is played by Jeremy Allen White and Carl Gallagher who is played by Ethan Cutkosky. Maybe, they aren’t seen in camera as much as Fiona but I have more willing to watch the series because of them.

     In conclusion, Shameless is a series appealing most of the adult people, I think. Because it has all the realities of our lives, people can see how they live in this world, including sexual life. If a person starts to watch the series, he can find a close character, at least, after second season. That’s why I advise you watching this series because of the close side to the natural life.
