'I’ve seen people kneecapped for not paying their debts' - Salfordians say Netflix hit is far from a 'Shameless rip-off'
A movie set in Salford and directed by a local lad is defying critics after hitting Netflix's top 10 most viewed list in the UK.
“I have known people who have got into situations [that were in the film]. I’ve seen people kneecapped for not paying their debts, people refusing to pay back more than what they owed,” she said. “I’ve had friends of family who have got into debts with [loan sharks] who have had to start drug dealing on their behalf.”
When asked how it felt to see Salford on-screen, Jenny added: “It was great to see it all. The maisonettes [where they filmed] was where my gran used to live. So I could really relate to that.” Jenny mentioned that she has also watched Shameless, which debuted on Channel 4 back in 2004. She admitted she did find it ‘a bit more relatable’ and ‘less far-fetched’ when compared to the 2018 indie movie.
She went on to say as many as 30 people she knows have watched and enjoyed the flick, which was produced with a budget of just a couple hundred thousand pounds. Chuckling, Allison said she’d like to appear in a sequel.
