It’s hard for me to watch this show. It hits to much, raised by alcoholic parents, poor and lots of kids in the 80s&90s. No protection back then, just find a way to be invisible and make it out without an addiction was the goal and without a pregnancy.

Okay I don't like Debbie but I do think as a character she comes from a place where a lot of her shitty actions make sense. Why is she so desperate to sleep with someone at 13? Because that's all she's been told and known; Fiona lost it young and their entire family is open about that side of their lives likely making it feel like something she has to do. Similarly it's all her friends talk about and she has been self conscious about her looks since season 3 ish making it feel like there is a lot more personal weight to losing it before ready because of the product of her community and issues with how she sees herself as the "ugly duckling." We also know Debbie was literally playing mother in some ways for most of her childhood as during the summer she ran that daycare in the home, frankly it's really all she's ever known is that side childcare making her really susceptible to becoming a teen mom due to not understanding the realities of parenthood. She's frankly been surrounded by pregnancy and kids for so long I don't think what it means in reality of being a mother is something she was mature enough to understand and this shows when actually having a baby. Lastly the disabilities and house stuff is Debbie literally mimicking events she saw Frank doing in her childhood; find someone with a nice space and disabled in some way to make it your own. Very similar to what was going in with Sheila and Frank for a long time. And why does Debbie lack remorse, again it's what she's told over and over. Getting bullied, try to drown them. Have your 'boyfriend' get a new girlfriend, harass her. Hell one of her closest bonds when younger was turning to Mandy who hit someone with her car in jealousy and also often lacked remorse. You want to survive here you got to be strong in your convictions and make it work. Many people in these environments end up acting like Debbie; they do think they have things figured out and they do lack remorse in their view of living in constant without the hierarchy of needs not being met. Also some other things; regarding season 4 boyfriend Fiona is a serial cheater. Cheated on Jimmy with her boss-turned-friend when things were looking rough with Jimmy. She cheated on him when not knowing how to cope with a normal family-- but he turned around to blackmail her into continuing sleeping with him as he only tells his brother when Fiona doesn't want to do that. She also doesn't really take the drugs given he comes back and kinda just leaves the coke there when she chases him out with a baseball bat. This is all to say Fiona is often well aware when things are going wrong and she is self sabotaging but doesn't know how to stop it. She feels remorse for cheating but can't stop herself, she doesn't want Frank back in her life but can't let go because of her desire to have a family, and she often does things on her own terms before coming to the realization of how it impacts the family. Fiona wants a better life for her siblings but can't because she doesn't know what that actually looks like, and often that comes at the expense of her own self. edit; actually one plot line I think is interesting is how Mickey didn't want Ian to see a doctor for possibly being bipolar because that's just not how they do things there, family is family and that's all you need. Yet Mickey lives with Ian, and sees how it's not only destroying his relationship but ties with everyone else and comes to terms that getting help is the best things that could happen. Telling and get help for others is hard, and Mickey was shown to like parts of Ian's mania but other parts genuinely scared him and what was always more important was that Ian was safe unlike how Monica and Frank work.

I ended up agreeing with everything you said. Jerome character in particular frustrated me because he was so good in season 2. I did liked him and Joy but I wish the cheating wasn't included. Honestly I would watch a reboot for a bit older audience.

I definitely know. What it is to love a toxic parent but when they gets sick i get worried a bit The sibling never understood the sacrifice fiona made for them to do something she couldnt and tried to make it easierfor them Also frank i feel whp was already not doing well burnt out at some ppint and just stopped caring as much because atleast he stayed but still does not help on thw way his kids were raised.

lore-accurate pyramid head?

You need to start with, this show is a British knock off

I absolutely loved Eddie from start to finish!

i love Shameless

This show is Mikey the ninja turtle hanging out with the joker, goku, bulma, the dad from Pleasantville, and a cook.

😮😮

Anyone else remember Noah Fisher from Max Keeble’s Big Move? lol loved him then, love him now! I was so pumped to see him in this. Best character, best romance for sure

Pisses me off how dirty they do Fiona later on in the show after she’s gone

First of all, great work on this video, but being born and raised in Michigan, Frank couldn’t throw that bottle into the ocean, I know it’s a big lake, but come on man. 😂

What I hate about Lip's ending isn't that I expected him to become Steve Jobs or some billionaire, I know that's unrealistic and borderline stupid. I hate that they try to paint him as Frank Jr, when that isn't the case at all. If anything that's Debbie. Debbie, like Frank, is decently intelligent, but too lazy and self destructive to ever do anything meaningful with it except drop some drunk history lessons every once in a while. She's also unbelievably selfish to the point where it even harms herself and refuses to ever take accountability for her actions, like Frank. Debbie and Frank care about no one but themselves, which is absolutely not Lip. Firstly, Lip's far more intelligent than his dad ever was, and no where near as selfish. Going to college mostly because he was pushed into it by friends and family and acting like the second parent to the Gallagher family to help ease Fiona's burdens. Even his alcoholism isn't anything exclusive to Frank, if anything that was probably just a coping mechanism he developed. I hated Lip's ending because it felt insulting to the audience's intelligence, especially after we had watched him fail and push forward for the better part of a decade. Especially after they simply decided not to do anything with his rehab plotline in season 7 and keep him firmly in the ghetto. Which, if anything, was probably more to do with just keeping Jeremy Allen White in the show than any real commentary on the "cycle of poverty". Both Ian and Fiona managed to make it out of South Side, so if anything keeping Lip in the same place just felt like a slap in the face.

This is show definitely defined my adolescence, so iconic

Tv shows are going on too long. Its a story and they come to an end, but now we go 10+ seasons for so many shows.

If I may make a suggestion. I think you should look into a British show called misfits. I dont know how underrated it is but it is fantastic. Has some very big actors in it throughout that end up in bigger mainstream shows and movies later.

I discovered the show in 2024 and I must admit it's amazing

I saw the British version of the show. It was great. The first three seasons of the American version were a copy and paste of the British show, but season 4 of the American show is when it separates from its uk counterpart and becomes its own show.

i don’t like what they did with liam’s character too much either tbh

ya the threeesome with the mom kevin and v was so gross.

Them saying their name was the thing I’m sorry I love this show cause it shows the trama that could be in America but don’t forget it was started on the American version of a uk show that one is good as fuck too

I really want to know where to rewatch it

As someone who has never watched the show, just mildly curious, and i thank you for this vid it answered a lot of questions I had. I must say, there is a lot more r*pe than I expected.

They killed lip I don’t even care he was the chosen wigga to to make it out the hood and outta nowhere them family genes kicked in rip I call it frankism and it’s a insanely detrimental condition as seen

Lips character is almost a perfect reflection of so many impoverished gifted ppl. After everything you go thru there is no good conclusion. Your just around

The first seasons were so good that I had to stop watching after season 8 because it got so bad that it felt like it devalued the serie

Ian being bipolar and micky not being able to express his love towards his partner was so relateable.

Wow, I’m glad I decided to watch this video instead of finishing the series, the finale sucks… Btw no love/hate for frank from me, just hate, I feel like I’m the only one. At the end of the day this is the show that frustrated me the most, I never wanted to slap EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER hard in the face every ten seconds but then shameless happened, lol. It was a good watch but I have to say, as a serial rewatcher, I don’t see myself rewatching this show ever again.

FINALLY someone is talking about the fact, that karen raped frank and not the other way around!!!!

i watched this series so many times,I love wolfblood and all the actors,the season 1-3 are the best,4-5 gone in another modern direction

One really good Carl scene you didn't talk about was when he was being robbed at the fast food place and he just had enough and went crazy on the guy after his gun discharged lol. Nonetheless loved the video. Thank you for keeping me entertained this morning lol

Such an amazing video on my favorite show of all time. As someone who grew up with not a lot I relate to a lot of the characters in Shameless. Like fr Lips and Sierras storyline is so relatable to me rn.

UK version was way better

Lip turns it around.

It was too real for some of us. Shows how hard it can be to break that cycle.

i ledt the show after the chick let the baby take cocain and od and she did no prison time. like i get were supposed to get its fake and over dramatized for entertainment value but their only ao.much wild shit a grounded show can give me before i give up. like they live in the real world. its not some alternwt crazy relaity where crazy shit happens everyday. yet the shit that is impossible just keeps happeneing and happening and happening. i got sick of it. it felt like i was watching fantasy at a cetra8n point. and i went to my cousins house a few weeks back and that bad ass kid was a cop and he was picking who to bust to blame for a crime so he could let go his biddy. it was kist fucking stupid. hows that kid a cop now. why are they so openly crooked like thats some cartoonish ass shit. why is their a drug lab in the open in an allyway in chicago lol. idk it just feels fake as fake

You have no idea as to how thrilled I am to FINALLY see an analysis video on my favorite comfort show of all time, Shameless. I binged watched all 11 seasons religiously, and it's honestly nothing else but a masterpiece. Even after finishing it, I still couldn't fathom over it being done. I watched endless playlists and clips and anything I could find on Shameless, old and new. My favorite character is honestly Mickey. A really consistent character whom rarely ever gets dull. Hell, him being gone every now and then sticks true to the nature of his character. A troubled young man going through alot with a shitty upbringing and difficulties with his own sexuality and others, but still manages to pull through every single time. I'm not gonna ramble on with my own personal analysis or summary on this show, but I'll say this. Each Gallagher, Milkovich, & other characters are still highly synonymous with Shameless. It's fascinating, to say the least and I'm in love with it in every step of the way. I still feel saddened by knowing I may never find another show such as Shameless again. I loved this show, the moment I seen the first episode and have been hooked ever since. The amount of times I laughed and felt impacted by this show is incredible. In my opinion, they should at least do a spinoff for Ian & Mickey. They're the only couple (& homosexual couple) that I actually liked. I used to hate gays (mainly because of not fully understanding as to how a male could be attracted to the same gender and usually stereotyping them as being all the same). However, when I watched Shameless, it gave me a realistic depiction of homosexuality and opened my mind to a new perspective on not only sexuality, but romance in general. I'd recommend Shameless to anyone who hasn't seen it yet. It's a MUST watch. If you have Netflix (where I watched the show from), then what are you waiting for? GET TO EXPERIENCING ONE OF THE BEST PIECES OF FICTIONAL MEDIA PUT ON TELEVISION.

Still not better than the UK version

Please bro please find better background music. Its so distracting and generic. You can use some fire video game music without getting striked.

And Carl....made something blow up in for science class!

I wish George Carlin were alive when this show aired. Can you imagine Louise Fletcher as Frank’s mom AND George as Frank’s dad?

Carl was a cop at the end of the sow

Lol after season 4 the realism was sacrificed for constant goofy comedy. Peak Shameless was the episode Just Like the Pilgrims Intended, Season 2 episode 11. Peak

Ian wasn't Frank's kid but Liam was lol

i very much enjoyed shameless up until s11. s11 was trash imo, complete waste of time and so much bad writing/character assassination. my 2 favorite characters are lip and mickey, and they’ll probably always be. shameless was always a good watch, especially in the beginning. later on i mostly watched for the comedy aspect and gallavich. i hate the way it ended but it’s one of the best tv shows from the 10s

I'm just about to start S4 with my fiancee that has never seen the show. Watching the Frank S4 clips in this really hits hard, and idk if I'm ready to watch that again-even for the fourth or fifth time now. Gosh, she isn't going to see ANYTHING this season coming... Such a realistic and upsetting season, but such quality TV. The scene where Karen gets Mandy'd in S3 blew her mind 😂 I never watched the seasons after Fiona left, but we'll see how that goes this time, cause we finished all 7 seasons of True Blood and that show goes downhill a lot worse and sooner (but a lot differently).

I never finished shameless but finding out carl became a COP is so disappointing 🤢

When Lip screws up college it broke my heart. In a way that I didn't fully recover as a fan.

Boy seeing this doesn't give me any will to watch further than season 4 (when I stopped) Tbf later seasons only fun character seems to be Carl, I mean his later antics was kinda what got me to try the show (UA-cam shorts) and I did enjoy the 1st 4 seasons, but when I watched season 5 epi 1 I felt off and i had it paused. Guess im done with it
