17 wins · 68 nominations
Frank Gallagher is a loud, freeloading alcoholic on Chicago's rough South Side whose six resourceful children have long since given up expecting him to parent them. Chief among them is eldest daughter Fiona, who holds the chaotic household together through sheer will, hustling to keep the lights on and the family fed. Adapted from the British series, this Showtime dramedy finds raucous comedy and raw tenderness in poverty, addiction, and fierce sibling loyalty. Unsentimental and defiantly alive, it refuses to pity a family that makes no apologies for surviving on its own scrappy terms.
