Shameless - Audience reaction/perception

The pilot show of Shameless had a mixed bag of reviews. Some thought it was interesting, funny and different (in a good way), where as others felt the way in which White, Northern, working class families were portrayed was inacurate and insulting.

Some viewers also complained about the number of sex scenes within the shows. Paul Abbott dosen;t hold back on these scences, to some dismay. Parents feel that if their teenage children watch this they may get ideas about, for example sex or drugs; which would understandably wory a parent. Because of some themes (sex, drugs and violence) the show is aired on Channel 4 at 10.00pm - 11.00pm, which is the time where shows containing these themes are allowed ot be aired.

To this day, even in its seventh, people views are still mixed. Although the show is sill recieving a large audience every week.
