Movie #1138 "Shameless" --- in the past I have not liked this show, but I wanted to see our ohs theatre alum Adam Poss in the particular episode he was in, and we finally got it sent to us and we got to watch it. Adam was wonderful, and I'm glad we saw him in it, but I don't like this show at all. I am a huge fan of William H. Macy, and I have enjoyed Emily Rosum in the past in other shows, but this is sooooooooooo depressing. I find no humor in it --- the characters are sad. This family just wallows in dysfunctionality, and I don't need to watch it. I'd give it the score of two because there are some moments that seem to work, but it isn't a likable show at all. I'm probably making lots of people angry by writing this, but every episode I have seen just shows the family get deeper and deeper in a mess. This one shows the "matriarch" of the family having to wear an ankle bracelet (under arrest) in the home because she was caught with cocaine (I gathered it wasn't her fault directly). And she's lamenting the fact that she has let the members of her family down. They didn't seem much to care because they were all staying somewhere else, including the dad. Not much more to say except I wouldn't recommend this.
