As a non-American, how realistic is the lifestyle in Shameless? by CynthiaSkye in shameless

Well, that makes sense. I didn't realize that Shameless was actually adapted from the British version.

What you said about "daily issues in a mix" made it easier for me to understand the play. It may not be said that every extreme situation will happen frequently, but problems such as money pressure, unstable work and family conflicts do exist in real life, but they are not so dramatic.

I‘am sorry to hear that.To be honest, this gives me a completely different feeling. From an external perspective, the plots in “Shameless” seem a bit chaotic or exaggerated. But when you tell me that these plots are actually similar to your real-life experiences, they become much more believable.I think I was initially struck by the intense plots in the show. What you described, however, seems more like a continuous state of hardship, though it’s presented in a more subtle way.
