El Gran Cañon

"El Gran Cañon" is the first episode of the third season of the American television comedy drama Shameless, an adaptation of the British series of the same name.

The series is set on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, and depicts the poor, dysfunctional family of Frank Gallagher, a neglectful single father of six: Fiona, Phillip, Ian, Debbie, Carl, and Liam.

Fiona (Emmy Rossum) struggles to adapt to life with Jimmy (Justin Chatwin) who has officially moved in with the Gallaghers to help raise the family.

In the street, Jimmy is kidnapped by Nando (Pêpê Rapazote), the father of Estefania (Stephanie Fantauzzi), and a powerful mob leader.

Meanwhile, Sheila (Joan Cusack) and Jody (Zach McGowan) struggle with parental life, as they are overwhelmed by Hymie's constant crying.

Lip (Jeremy Allen White) faces problems with the law after stealing equipment to build a robot; he is ultimately held on a $500 bond, and Mandy (Emma Greenwell) bails him out.

Club gave the episode a "B" grade and wrote, "At least initially; "El Gran Canon" establishes that the rule is for Shameless seasons to get off to a toddling start.

"[5] Alan Sepinwall of HitFix wrote, "Between the corpse disposal sequence and Frank getting mixed up with coyotes, this in a way felt like a mash-up of stories from several other Showtime shows, past and present.

"[6] Leanne Aguilera of Hollywood.com wrote, "The dramedy returned with so many hilarious, disgusting and downright bizarre moments that our heads are still spinning.

Obviously it's never easy for any of them to make money or Kevin and V wouldn't be playing slaveowner sex driver for the webcam, but I think Fiona could be good at the club gig.
