Shameless has many moments of triumph-and it also manages to find humor in what anyone else would see as horrible tragedy-but this fourth season, in which the characters begin to interact with the wider world, is its darkest yet.

William H. Macy has often stolen the show as Frank while ranting nonsensically, but he got to show off his acting skills more here, as we see Frank like we've never seen him before.
