'Shameless' goes 'politically shameless' for its milestone 100th episode

From seedy, sexual predators running for office, to women empwering sub-plots denouncing rape culture - Shameless season 9, episode 4 has it all!

A 100 episodes of 'Shameless' debauchery later, one would think there aren't any more questionable acts of indecency that the Gallagher's could get up to, but trust Showtime's hit dramedy to continue surprising us no matter what. But there's also been an interesting take and handling of the current socio-political climate, as portrayed on the show ever since the ongoing season 9 commenced.

While people, who have already seen the total of four episodes released so far, would know exactly what we're getting at here - for those who haven't caught up with the latest episodes, brace yourselves because of massive amounts of spoiler alert!
