James Beard Award-winning celebrity chef Carmen Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White, Shameless) returns to her family in Chicago to take over the restaurant of her brother, who has just committed suicide.
The Original Beef of Chicagoland is a small, decrepit take-out restaurant in the River North neighborhood.
Michael's best friend Richie Jerimovich (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and the restaurant's staff resist Carmy's proposed changes to modernize it.
Carmy hires a young chef, Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri), who has the ambition to follow him in this project.
Welcome to the South Side of Chicago, where Frank Gallagher and his six children navigate life's highs and lows in Showtime's hit series, 'Shameless (US)'. Adapted from Paul Abbott's original British series, this American version has been making waves since its debut in 2011. Now with an impressive run of 11 seasons and 135 episodes under its belt, it's time you added this gritty family drama-comedy to your BetaSeries watchlist.
'Shameless (US)' revolves around Frank Gallagher, an alcoholic father brilliantly played by William H. Macy. Despite his numerous flaws, Frank is oddly charismatic - a trait that will have you glued to your screens despite yourself. His dysfunctional yet lovable brood includes Fiona (Emmy Rossum), Lip (Jeremy Allen White), Ian (Cameron Monaghan), Debbie (Emma Kenney), Carl (Ethan Cutkosky), and Liam Gallagher(Christian Isaiah). The kids are left to fend for themselves due to their father's incompetence, leading them down paths that are as hilarious as they are heartbreaking.
The show is far from your typical sitcom; it's a stark portrayal of poverty with all its accompanying challenges. But don't be fooled - amid the chaos and struggles are moments of pure comedy gold that will leave you laughing out loud. The characters' antics drive each episode forward, from Fiona's romantic escapades to Lip's scholarly ambitions – not forgetting Carl's constant brushes with law enforcement. The series also dives deep into relationships, addiction, and various other themes that give it a depth rarely seen in traditional comedies.
