I hadn't watched shameless until it was entirely done filming about 2 years ago and I was hooked. I was battling a bad drug addiction at the time, sleeping on couches, binging shameless. Now I'm 2 years clean and re watching it out of nostalgia and comfort. I love how real it is in a sense of character development and poor decision making etc. Don't get me wrong theres obviously things that are blown out of proportion or things that wouldnt necessarily be real but its a show and I find they calm down with the 'unrealistic' aspects after the first couple seasons as it grows. This show (up until Fiona left) was amazing and didn't digress as the seasons went on like most shows. I will admit the last 2 seasons without Fiona weren't great but still enjoyable. Many times in the show I cried from relating so much, especially with the mother as I have a mother with bi-polar/BPD so I would get super emotional watching her disappoint the kids again and again. And Fiona, when she's not "playing mom" she reminds me totally 100% of myself in my early 20s, pretty but grungy so she doesn't believe shes pretty, has fun yet breaks a few rules, sleeps with random guys (sometimes lower morals lol), whenever I would watch a scene of her partying, or hooking up with a guy, or working whatever job- I saw myself.
I also love how it doesn't really age, in the beginning seasons with flip phones and 'minutes' I love it. I love how the characters wear a lot of the same clothes like real people do, I love how we get to watch the kids grow into adults on screen it feels like your a part of the Gallagher.
I just grew sooo attached to this show. Whenever I'm down in the dumps I throw this on and it cheers me up.
I wish there would be a reunion with Fiona, the only thing I wish was different is if we knew where Fiona went or got some update from someone talking not her but she completely just left. Still recovering from that heartbreak. Also as Debbie grew up she began to look more and more like my best friend since we were 3 who passed away of a drug addiction. And she reminds me of her a little bit too so it sort of warms my heart seeing Debbie.💕
