Shameless is known for having a very different and unique style compared to other British Comdey/Drama series.
A "moving camera" shooting technique (employing few masks or filters) is used. Each episode beigns and ends with a voice over (same voice over for begining and end) which higlight the main situations and concepts of that episode, and are usually done by the character most involved in the storyline during that episode.
With a lot of characters comes a lot of storylines, unlike many shows, these plots are not entirely separate and the plots always support each other to the episodes' conclusions
Originally the show was filmed on location on a council estate in West Gorton and in the Pie Factory Studios in Salford. From series 5 onwards the show has been filmed from a purpose built set on the Roundthorn Industrial Estate in South Manchester on the site of an old Kodak warehouse, and around Wythenshawe and Sale, Cheshire. For the fifth series a 66,000 square feet exterior and interior set was built on an industrial estate in Wythenshawe, Manchester.
