Shameless (2017)

AI Rating: 3/10 - Shameless (US version, ongoing in 2017) centers on the chaotic, impoverished Gallagher family, emphasizing raw survival, addiction, crime, and dysfunction over political messaging. While it features diverse sexualities (e.g., Ian's gay activism and bipolar arc, Debbie's gender exploration) and critiques poverty/gentrification, these are woven into gritty, irreverent storytelling without preachiness. Identity politics appear organically amid explicit sex, humor, and moral ambiguity, not prioritizing inclusion over plot. Low woke impact.
