"Shameless's balance between humor and despicableness is a lesson in narrative wallowing that Girls ought to study."

The Washington Post

"Even shrouded in darkness, they're still a joy to watch."

—

Time Out

"Shameless has many moments of triumph-and it also manages to find humor in what anyone else would see as horrible tragedy-but this fourth season, in which the characters begin to interact with the wider world, is its darkest yet."
