I just love this series. The best life satire of all times... it's funny, offbeat, graphic drama follows the lives and loves of the Gallagher family/ friends in a small neighborhood in Manchester. The mother figure of the family is big sister Fiona and her siblings who she looks after-- Carl, Ian, Debbie and baby Liam, by the way, the father is a total drunk SOB. Their chaotic lives of sexual adventures of all sorts, love and deception are a hilarious mockery of the world family as it is today. I laughed at the travesty of it all...it definitely was the most entertaining parody of life--dysfunctional at its finest! ...now, this is real life depicted. Just brilliant! Highly recommended for adult viewing! LOVE IT!
