As the fall season begins so do many new seasons of your favorite TV shows begin as well. I for one am most excited about two shows specifically returning: "The Walking Dead" and "Shameless". Now, I am pretty sure most people are familiar with what "The Walking Dead" is but "Shameless" is a show that has been completely off the radar for many years until now. Recently Netflix added all 6 previous seasons of "Shameless", a show on Showtime about a poor family and how they get by in life. Recently season 7 of "Shameless" premiered and I'm here to give you a few reasons on why you should binge the first six seasons so you can jump right into season 7.
1. Shameless has a diverse cast of characters to fall in love with.
One of my favorite things about "Shameless" is definitely the cast and the characters they portray. Each character is unique in their own way and single-handedly hold different story lines with each of them. Personally, my favorite characters stem from the oldest brother Lip Gallagher, to the father Frank and of course who doesn't love the oldest child Fiona. They are a fantastic, diverse group of characters and I guarantee you will love them for everything they are.
2. It's a different kind of show.
When I state that its a different type of show I mean it as it is unlike anything else I've seen on TV. Yes there are many television shows that revolve around dysfunctional families but never have I seen a show about a terrible dysfunctional family who literally survive in the world by doing whatever they can. They also make very terrible decisions and like the shows title they are really Shameless. It's definitely unlike any other family type show currently on television.
3. The story line sucks you in.
From episode one of "Shameless" I could not stop watching. I watched all 60 current episodes in a time span of about 5 days and I never actually stopped unless I had to eat, sleep, or go to work. I was hooked ever since I watched that first episode. "Shameless" had a way of keeping me around even with those episodes that seemed weak to other episodes in the series. The best part is that even when these story lines end, something great happens in the next story line for said character. Each character has their own respective story lines and I honestly don't know if there is exactly one highlighting moment because they are all great.
4. The show tackles very serious topics not covered by any other shows.
This has to be my favorite reason into why "Shameless" is worth watching. The show tackles aspects of abusive relationships, homosexuality, alcoholism, disorders, to so many other things. This is such a fantastic thing because its not everyday you can watch a show that tackles serious things like this and actually treats it as something serious.
These are just a few reasons on why "Shameless" is a show worth watching. I can write pages on pages about "Shameless" as a whole, talking about every character and exactly everything I love. But take my word for it, I love this show and it definitely worth watching it all for this new season.
