Shameless: The Complete Second Season (Blu-ray)

Season Two of Showtime’s boldest, bravest series dives headfirst into the sweltering heat of a Chicago summer, grabs Gallagher family life by the throat, and never lets go. Boozed-up Frank’s scams constantly fizzle. Grammy Gallagher visits after a stint in prison. Bipolar Monica returns to fan Frank’s flames. Hard-working Fiona plays the field…until Steve comes back with a hot new wife. Lip drops out to care for his and Karen’s baby. Ian’s gunning for West Point. The Gallaghers may lack rent money and toilet paper, but there’s never a shortage of heart or a moment of shame in this acclaimed drama starring William H. Macy, Emmy Rossum and a brilliant ensemble cast.
