After a fantastic opening season, I was entertained but uninspired by seasons 2 and 3. The show seemed to settle down into an almost domesticated din of platitudes. One might even suggest the Gallagher's were finally getting their act together.
Season four has brought us full circle back to some pretty stone cold reality. The illusions of youth are now supplanted by the consequence of the choices we make. There is no noble cause for it -and no hero to save us.
Our protagonist is in jail for a crime she never intended to commit but is nonetheless responsible for. We have all been caught in the reality of our lives and Fiona certainly is feeling reality hit her on the head.
Lip is now thrust into the head of the household, at the very moment he finally committed himself to something positive for the first time in his life. He is shocked and confused to see his big sister act just like.......well, just like their father.
For people like me who love real TV, this season promises to be the best yet.
