    Just halfway through season 4 and am back in love with shameless. Brilliant television. No comparison to its UK cousin. Season 5 due in early 2015 I believe. Miss Steve / Jimmie though. He was a good character. I bet he'll be back next season.
    but he was killed on the boat, why would you think he'll be back,

    Did he not drive past the Gallagher household at the very end of last season in a fancy sports car and a hot woman?

    Or am I cracking up?!?!

    It has been renewed for a 6th season


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,694 ✭✭✭Glebee


    All quite on the Shameless front recently. Season 5 just finished up recenlty and not sure what to make of the latest 12 episodes. Not its strongest season but still a great show in my opinion. Could Season 6 see an end to Shameless??

    have to agree with that. having watched season 5 it felt very disjointed with storys not going anywhere.(gentrificiation etc.). It did seem to loose its way a bit and perhaps season 6 should really finish it.

    Never got to watch any of Season 6 but have them ready to go at some stage, whats people general thoughts on last season?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,619 ✭✭✭channelsurfer2


    season 7 is not bad so far. . the season 6 finale is rather daft without giving too much away.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,694 ✭✭✭Glebee


    About 75% through Shameless Season 6 and quite enjoying it. Will try to get up to current episodes over the next week. Its definitly not a show to sit down and watch with your granny..:):)
    I see Season 1-5 is not available on Netflix.. If you have not watched before give it a try.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 684 ✭✭✭haro124


    Really enjoying this season, I think its been the best of the recent ones! Not a fan of Trevor though!

    enjoyed the season finale.. it kinda left it like there was an ending if it wasn't renewed. They must obviously have filmed it before the renewal announcement.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,694 ✭✭✭Glebee


    Thats great i really enjoy Shameless. Have to catch up on the final two episodes...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,597 ✭✭✭smilerf


    So finished the season today.. Really enjoyed it. Those keV club scenes were hilarious Trever bugged me. He's voice just went through me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,133 ✭✭✭Stevecw


    Off work injured, so binged through from season 4 where I had left off a couple of years ago to right up to date, end of 7. Amazing show. Ended up watching some of the episodes till about 4am.
    So good, anyone recommend anything similar to it to watch?

    So Season 8 is back at this stage and we are two episodes in. Slow enough start from Shameless. I really do love this show though.

    Didn't see last nights yet, but watched the 1st 2 episodes of Season 8. I'm really enjoying it again. Best show on TV for me, the 55 mins of episode 2 flew by, it felt like 15 minutes.
    I love everything about it & Emmy Rossum as Fiona and William H Macy as Frank are incredible in their roles.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,619 ✭✭✭channelsurfer2


    bit slow to take off for me this year. episode 3 . pity its not on any normal station like rte until almost a year later and buried at midnight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,597 ✭✭✭smilerf


    Ye very slow start and I'm not liking all this focus on liam. In the English shameless liam was played by a very good actor so you enjoyed his scenes. The American kid is bland and boring.
    Also Frank needs to get back to being frank.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 24,006 Mod ✭✭✭✭Clareman


    I'm liking the start of the new series, they are resetting a lot of the characters to bring more depth

    Frank - He's almost just comedy at this stage, but moving him to Francis looking to have a career is a nice move
    Fiona - Party girl/mother with man issues to landlord/career woman cutting ties to the family
    Lip - was a gifted student with lady issues, now he's an alcoholic apprentice mechanic looking to help others (with lady issues)
    Ian- not sure what his main "thing" is now but the missing Monica bit is a good touch for him
    Debbie - Going from being a child to a single mother who is now being thrown out is good
    Carl - Why isn't he in military school?
    Liam - Being introduced as a character at last

    There is a bit of a gap of supporting characters at the moment, the V & Kevin storyline could be good.

    so season finale last night. overall season i thought was poor. not much happened other than an irish actor using a fake irish accent to play am irish carpenter lol.

    I really think the show has just about run its course, the storylines are getting sillier and sillier. I liked how Lip turned things around but just when you thought it was all tied up in a bow with him and Sierra it turned out it wasn't. Though I kinda wanted it to I think she's lovely.

    The Irish Ford guy is ridiculous, he's not only a master Craftsman, he works for free, he's been to every country, speaks multiple languages, knows everyone, has kids with lesbians, is amazing in bed but makes Fiona wait for the ride. Ffs.

    Hated the storyline with Kev and V and Svetlana, so tiresome. The story with Ian gay Jesus was ridiculous.

    I've never liked Debbie as a character at all, and the whole thing with her toes was again, ridiculous. She would have been in constant agony at minimum.

    And not that I'm complaining but every episode but the finale manages to find some way for Fiona to be naked or nearly so.

    I didn't realise that was the finale, wow that was an extremely meh season, there hasn't been any real development for any character


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,694 ✭✭✭Glebee


    Just caught up with Shameless season 8. not a great season in fairness. hard to see if there is any future in this show. I do love the characters but it just feels like its run its course. Hope im wrong.

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,619 ✭✭✭channelsurfer2


    very poor this year so far. I think it has reached the end of the line really. nothing seems to happen that hasn't been done before with it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,025 ✭✭✭Ashbourne hoop


    Hasn't been great at all this season. Stories have been ridiculous, the gay Jesus, Lip caring for a kid he doesn't know, Kev trying to clean up the bar. Poor stuff so far


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,584 ✭✭✭Frank O. Pinion


    This show is extremely predictable. When the black girl appeared posing as a man, my immediate thought was "Well, here comes a bisexual storyline for Debbie." There was no subtlety that very quickly Debbie would be making out with her.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 24,006 Mod ✭✭✭✭Clareman


    I think they have gone as far as they can with teh current characters, they need to introdcue some new characters but they are probably too late to introduce them now.


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 11,870 Mod ✭✭✭✭icdg


    Ironically enough, the original show had so much rotation of characters that by the end Frank was the only Gallagher left (the original’s Fiona was gone at the end of the second season and each of the Gallagher kids followed). In fact it was nearly more about the Maguire’s than the Gallaghers at that stage. Characters would appear as if they had always been there and equally disappear with no explanation.

    I'd love to see the two lads who drink at the alibi introduced a bit more. Kermit and the baldy lad


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,025 ✭✭✭Ashbourne hoop


    The most recent episode with Courtney Cox was much better.
