So, binged the latest season this past weekend.
Still as good as ever.
Franks latest girlfriend is Peg Bundy, playing a bipolar psychoanalyst off her meds, and Bob Saget has a cameo as a priest, telling sex tales of his time in the navy. Hilarious stuff.
Also, going back a few posts, for those people who said they missed Mickey, you will have to turn in next season.

We stopped watching after, I don’t know, maybe season 4 or 5. We found it tedious. I may go back and catch up if it’s all still on Netflix.

I still like it but with both Fiona and Ian leaving, hope they end it.


I like Lip and Carl but don't feel they can carry a show the same way.

Is this Fionas final season? I did not know that until this very second. I 2nd the NOOOOOOOOOOO motion.

I think lip can carry the show for a season. But aside from that there's not much left.

"Frank...Frank.... FRANK!!!"
"What?"
"Your piss is black"

Technically I think this was only the first half of the season and the second half is coming in January. At least according to Wikipedia.

It will be different for sure. As much as Frank is the go-to guy, Fiona IMO is the main character and all story lines run through her somehow. Shameless is one of those shows that can go on for a long time and maintain quality. But it will be difficult without Fiona and Ian. I had no idea Ian was leaving either, but the last episode he appeared makes sense.

I know the UK show has 11 seasons. I watched the first season and it seems the US version mirrors it pretty accurately. Maybe someone who has completed the UK version can comment if it continues to follow the same story lines as the US version throughout.

I’m a bit late to the party with this one but that just means we get to burn through this without pause. Fantastic show.

I stopped watching the final season Fiona. Is it worth watching the last few season?

The final few I watched seemed to be a bit rinse and repeat (they're getting better as a family and the back in the crapper by the end of the season).

Kevin and Mickey at the only reason to watch.

It's all about that Westside life!



I thought it was a nice touch how after all the ways he has abused his body, it was stupid COVID that finally finished off Frank.

Hard to maintain such a high level of quality over that many seasons. Definitely went down hill for the last couple but overall one of my favourite shows ever.

Yup, I checked out a few episodes into the post Fiona era.

I tried and it just didn't stick. Emmy Rossum and her character were the glue that kept that show great. For me Lip was a close 2nd and the rapport they had between them was important.

I liked all the characters but Fiona ( as the oldest left to fill in for an absent partent) was the one I related to the most.

This was the same for me. I enjoy closure in series ending episodes. Yes there is a chance for an offshoot down the road, but I don't see it happening and the open ended side of it was unnecessary and left an empty feeling
