Beloved British drama often called ‘one of the best’ is leaving Netflix – here’s when you need to watch it by

Iconic British sitcom Shameless is leaving Netflix UK and Ireland soon.

The long-running Channel 4 series will be leaving the streaming service on Monday, 16 June.

There are 11 seasons and 139 episodes, which is a lot to get through in that time.

Rest assured, because the program can also be found on ITVX, and the basic plan, which includes advertisements, is entirely complimentary.

From 2004 to 2013, this series was based on a fictional estate named Chatsworth in Manchester, where it portrayed the Gallagher family, who were marked by dysfunction. They struggled financially, frequently encountered troubles with the law, and their father was a chronic drug abuser and neglectful parent.

The piece has some intense and somber parts, along with a touch of witty sarcasm, yet it is filled with risqué humor and exaggerated character portrayals as well.

Fans of the series “Coronation Street” will recognize several familiar actors such as Sally Carman, Ciarán Griffiths, Qasim Akhtar, Joe Duttine, and even a younger version of James McAvoy, who later achieved fame in films like “Narnia,” “X-Men,” and “His Dark Materials.

The show has received numerous favorable comments from its audience on IMDb, the majority of whom have given it either an 8 or a perfect 10-star rating.

One glowing critique praises the show for evoking a sense of how exceptional television can be, whereas another describes the humor as unrestrained, having the potential to either upset viewers or induce them to fall out of their chairs with laughter.

This show is undeniably among the top TV programs, similar in quality to ‘Nighty Night’, ‘League of Gentlemen’, and potentially ‘Little Britain’. Another reviewer even puts it on par with ‘Only Fools and Horses’ and ‘The Royle Family’, declaring it as one of the greatest British series ever made.

Critics often remark that the quality of the later seasons isn’t quite up to par compared to the initial five to six seasons, which comprise approximately 50 to 66 episodes and are considered the show’s best.

Shameless can be streamed on Netflix until Monday, June 16th. Additionally, it’s accessible on ITVX. However, it’s not available for streaming on Channel 4.

The American version of Shameless is also available on Netflix.
