The acting is good, and I do not consider myself a prude or a moralist, but some of the topics in Shameless I find very disturbing. Fiona was sociopathic, and psychotic, she should be in jail for several counts of "contributing to the Delinquency of a minor". I have nothing against Homosexuality, but a 15 year old (Ian) having a sexual relationship with the 40 year old married store owner was way over the top, same thing with Frank fucking his girlfriends 15 year old daughter. I also did not like when Debbie was 13 and was desperately trying to lose her virginity. Another disgusting scene that comes to mind was when Veronica could not get pregnant, so she gives Kiven the permission to fuck and impregnate her Mother. This kind of shit crosses the line between being provocative and outright disgusting.
