This excellent series makes a welcome return for its seventh series although it is now lacking Debbie as she has joined the army. Life on the Chatsworth Estate is as chaotic as ever; Karen is overdue to give birth, Frank has met the woman of his dreams while doing his community service and his grandmother Nin takes drastic action to deal with the disabled man she is caring for.
As one would expect from Shameless there were lots of laughs, I particularly liked the "save the library" riot and for pure shock value Nin turning homicidal. It wasn't all laughs though; Joe is still a menacing presence in Karen's life, she still can't tell whether she loves him or hates him.
I was disappointed that Debbie's departure was dealt with in one line, it is a pity that her character didn't get a proper send off although I suspect this was down to the actress being unavailable. The new character Libby the Librarian looks promising, hopefully she will hang around for a while.
