Time To Get Critical About Representation in “Shameless”
A decade since it aired, Shameless (U.S.) has always stuck to its guns (and baseball bats) about character diversity.

He hides the decline of his middle-class existence behind a pretended facade of success. After losing his apartment, he moves in with his son Flo and his son's goth girlfriend Moni under a pretext and becomes entangled in untruths.
