Parents need to know that Shameless (which was inspired by a British series) is a mature dramedy about a single father of six who struggles with alcoholism.Expect graphic depictions of sex, full-frontal nudity, and occasional drug use (including pot, cocaine, and abuse of prescription drugs), along with ongoing alcohol abuse (by kids and adults).
Yes I did. I love Shameless. I got caught up to the current episodes within a week. Lip is probably one of my favorite television characters of all time. Sammy is an asshole. Frank is an entertaining asshole. Fiona makes mistakes, but I still have a ton of respect for her. Kevin and V are hilarious. Ian and Mickey are both great characters.

As noted, no season of Shameless was flat-out bad but season eight is arguably at the bottom of the barrel. This was when Fiona became the landlordof a building and started a relationship with Ford, who many agree is the least interesting romantic partner for her in the series. There were some other odd decisions as well. Svetlana departed the show...
Following a stint in prison, Fiona got a job at Patsy's Pies, which would become a staple going forward. This season saw characters make some truly bad decisions. Fiona got romantically involved with Sean, married to Gus after a week, and hooked up with Jimmy when he returned. Debbie made her worst choice ever, tricking Derek into getting her pregn...
The romance between Fiona and Gus came to an unruly end due to her relationship with Sean. By the time the finale rolled around, she was set to get married to him, only for Frank to show up and reveal that Sean was still using drugs and lying about being clean. Lip officially went all-in on sabotaging his hopes at a successful future but Carl had a...
Filming season 11 had to be tough given the COVID-19 pandemic, which Shamelessdidn't shy away from. It caused several rewrites but the show incorporated the pandemic into the plot. Though it probably could've been better, most fans enjoyed the final season. RELATED: Shameless: 10 Best Things About The Final Season Several characters got fitting end...
There was always going to be an odd feeling regarding season 10 of Shameless. It was the first to not feature Fiona, which marked a huge change. However, the series found some really fun ways to keep things entertaining thanks to some new relationships. For one, Frank and his buddy Mikey O'Sheawere always a blast together and for another, Lip's rom...
Season 9 had the distinction of being the longest in Shameless history, lasting 14 episodes. It was basically split up into two halves and the main focus was on the departure of Fiona. She had a remarkable storylinewhere she lost everything, hit rock bottom, and was self-destructive. Fiona ultimately climbed out, started getting help, and chose to ...
In its early days, Shamelesswas still able to shock viewers with just how outlandish a lot of the storylines would get. Season 2 included ones where Karen's pregnancy led to her ex and mother taking the baby, as well as one where Frank's mother came to town and bullied everyone. "Just Like The Pilgrims Intended" is arguably the show's saddest insta...
Speaking of season 1, it still ranks as one of Shameless'sbest. This was where the show let the audience know that they'd follow some UK plot points but with their own unique spin. Fiona's position as head of the house while Frank spent his time boozing and neglecting his family were both set up. RELATED: Shameless: 10 Things You Forgot From The Fi...
Season 6 ended on downers for everyone with Fiona left at the altar, Lip struggling with his drinking, and Debbie not being a great mother. However, a lot of that changed during the seventh season and it was welcome to see good things happening. Fiona became the owner of Patsy's and started looking to better her own life. Lip forged a relationship ...
Season 4 proved that Shamelessmight've actually been at its best when it got really dark in its tone. A major story arc dealt with the possible death of Frank and that led to plenty of heartbreaking scenes involving various members of the family with him. This season also saw the return of Joan Cusack and guest stars like Regina King and Jeffrey De...
