It's seriously the best show I've seen since Breaking Bad. It's 8 seasons in and is still the tits.

Any other fans of the show here?

I just recently started the show. Didn't really know what to expect going in, but it's pretty damn good so far.

TLDR summary of the show?


horrible poor people are horrible but funny when they are horrible so it makes it all ok.
its a funny show.
and im not exaggerating when i say they are all kind of horrible

for example in one episode lip one of the most likable characters throws a can of food at a small child and steals his bike for fun. and the bike is to small for him since he is a high schooler and the kid looked like he was in kindergarten.

but its a funny show

also some of the time it basically turns into soft core porn

TLDR summary of the show?


An alcoholic and total fuck up of a dad has a house full of 6 kids in southside, inner city chicago that he basically doesn't take care of and they kind of look after themselves. Frank is probably the best character of the show, always getting into drunken antics. The kids all have their own personalities and interesting plotlines going on.

Watch the pilot. It's not only one of the best pilots I've ever seen, it also introduces all the characters in the first scene and sets u up really nicely for the rest of the show.

Perfect combo of both but mostly comedy I guess. You kind of have to judge for yourself. It's so different from other shows. A true black comedy

its a remake of a british show
the first season is almost a shot for shot remake ao its not so different from other shows
the difference between the british version and the american one is that the british showed stayed primarily a comedy while the american show turned into more of a drama

I can't. The show insists the subject matter is funny but I can't see past the despair of generational poverty and the tragedy of kids being forced to raise one another because their parents have escaped into substance abuse. It's heartbreaking. As messy as that family is, I think they deserve justice that I know the show will never deliver it because it's a primetime sitcom and those never end.

Have you seen the whole series? I kinda despised Frank at first too but That season 4 finale when I thought he was gonna die and then he gets a new liver and has that gorgeous scene at the Chicago river with Carl. I loved him at that moment. Plus the show wouldn't be half as interesting without him

I actually realized that I watched the season 4 finale after you talked about it.

I guess I stopped in the next one or didn't start it.

This.

I love how the show never panders even in the most recent episodes

Watched it a few years ago. Dropped it a couple of episodes into S3 and never regretted it.

The character development is legit superb. I don't use that word lightly. Each one has their own identity and story over time. Carl, Lip, Fiona.. It's really quality.

I watched the first few episodes (or couple? last one was where Frank hooked up with that housewife who turned out to be a f-r-e-a-k). I wasn't blown away, but it was alright.

Kind of a trip seeing Steve Howey naked though.

Were you in a coma for 4 years or something? Or just couldnt afford cable? Seriously, Ive seen every episode of Shameless thru s08e06, and while I do enjoy it and many of the characters (Lip, Kev n V, I miss Mick, glad Steve/Jimmy hasnt come back for awhile), not for even a second would I delude myself into calling Shameless a top-tier show, nor do I think it should even be thought of in such a context.

I understand that your topic, TC, is based on opinion, but I have to ask: what other shows since BB ended do you consider top-tier? Or, do you have any memories of being in your coma? Or is it just like you just woke up and its not 2013 anymore?
