Shameless has many moments of triumph-and it also manages to find humor in what anyone else would see as horrible tragedy-but this fourth season, in which the characters begin to interact with the wider world, is its darkest yet.January 13, 2014
It's an excellent, appropriately effed-up beginning and suggests the creative team has found a way to evolve without having to radically change what the show is.January 10, 2014
Even shrouded in darkness, they're still a joy to watch.January 17, 2014
William H. Macy has often stolen the show as Frank while ranting nonsensically, but he got to show off his acting skills more here, as we see Frank like we've never seen him before.January 10, 2014
Shameless's balance between humor and despicableness is a lesson in narrative wallowing that Girls ought to study.January 13, 2014

Yes, this season certainly had its fair share of heartbreak, but by pushing these much-loved characters to their very limits, we got some of the very best storytelling on television.
