Series Summary
Set in Chicago, the show stars William H Macy as Frank Gallagher, the working class patriarch to a brood of six smart, spirited and independent children who, without him, would be... better off.
Frank tries to palm off his parenting duties onto oldest daughter Fiona. Eldest son Philip, AKA Lip, tutors some girls from their neighbourhood and is repaid in kind.
Middle son Ian is both grappling with his homosexuality and being grappled by his married Pakistani employer at the corner store. Youngest daughter Debbie is stealing money from her UNICEF collection to help put food on the table. Ten-year-old Carl is a budding sociopath and arsonist; and toddler Liam is - well, he might actually be black, but nobody has a clue how.
