Terry S3/4: “I’LL FUCKING KILL YOU!”

Given that the family planning clinic doubtless has cctv, can we assume that the rest of the season will deal with the fall-out of Lip, Debbie and Carl getting sent to prison for 15 years for the attempted murder of cracker girl? That’s what happens in this universe right? And then Fiona can visit them, but tell them…

Not to mention Ian just came off a 9 month stretch in one of the toughest jails in America - but no, that was ‘inspirational’. Sure, Shameless could now tell the story they should have done the first time, about life for gay inmates, protective custody, sexual slavery and power dynamics. But you know they won’t. Last s…

Best episode I’ve seen in years. I love how the Maggie-Gregory murder-plot stuff was wrapped up in a single episode. The show is at its best when its pacing is quick. 

So, let’s get something straight. A private, female citizen came forward to tell the country about her experience with sexual assault because she felt it was her duty to do so in order to give the people in charge a clear picture of the man who they were about to put on the highest court in the land for a lifetime…

He also hung dong on the first season of US Shameless. Aw, sweet dumb Jody.

“I feel like all this episode really did was give Jeremy Allen White’s arms their moment in the spotlight.”

I am so relieved, for a minute I was wondering if I am the only person who feels like this show is just getting - for lack of more sophisticated words - lazy and dumb.

This Mo White horseshit is riding a very fine (and hypocritical) line between satire and dogwhistle pandering. Given the show’s dubious handling of race in the past, and the flagrant whitewashing of its clearly fictitious version of South Side, it’s hard not to see it as the latter. It’s not offensive so much as just…

As bad as the show is right now, I feel like they’re trying to lead Ian back to himself. He seems lost to put it mildly, but even Debbie noting him being bipolar and off his meds (But we really don’t know, do we?) seems to ignore that he’s really in a bad place and his family is just whatever. I don’t know know what…

There. Is. Always. A. Pattern.

Like some others have said, I likely stick with it till the end but more in a ‘I don’t know how to quit you’ kinda way than for the joy of it. But I’m done, too.

I’m with all of you.  I’m done.  Carl keeping another living thing in his basement although he wants to kill “towel-heads”.   We’ve already done Fiona the businesswoman plots for two years now, but it’s the same story over and over.  I am curious about Debbie’s romance a little, but I can’t deal with Ian/gay Jesus -…

Aside from being generally prepared and not overestimating your abilities, OBEY THE FUCKING SIGNS. The sign says don’t swim there....don’t swim there. The sign says don’t climb over the railing....don’t climb over the railing. The sign says stay on the trail....stay on the trail. 80% of those signs are there because…

I don’t think the show is explicitly trying to make that argument. But the shoddy way they depict this congressional race—which is a democratic primary, I presume, not that they ever explain this—leaves the door open for it to be interpreted by those who WOULD make that reach, and who often do so in their efforts to…

This comment: *chefs kiss*

The most baffling thing I find about the “good boy who made mistakes” take is that it can somehow exist alongside the “if she’s telling the truth, why didn’t she go to the police?” takes.

I’m really close to quitting the show.

One good thing about Shameless was always that it depicted poor Americans in a television landscape that usually acted like they don’t exist. The Gallaghers used to be avatars for the average working class family, but now it feels like one big joke at the expense of the audience. I could complain about the racial,…
