alternate universe shameless but it's about the milkovich family. they dont tone down terry, he's a nazi and a child molester. they show you all the trauma those siblings went through.
but they also show you when mandy, age 5, came home with a bruised knee, colin and iggy tracked down who pushed her at school and made his face bleed. or when mickey always made sure to block her door when he knew terry would be black out drunk, sadly he wasnt always there to protect her. or when their mother left and mandy started to cook so her brothers would be cared for. they show you the love bubble the siblings had to create in order to survive in this household. they also show you the awful coping mechanisms, the violence, the ptsd.
when did they all realize their life was fucked? when did they stop trying at school? mickey is shown to be quick with maths and he is also an artist and they never show that part of him. maybe one of them played an instrument (garage punk band era anyone?) but eventually had to stop to keep up with terry's shady activities. perhaps jamie and mickey knew they were both gay but never actually dared talk about it, but then on their wedding day jamie made sure all the guests were properly guided to the venue.
