Shameless, Seasons 1 & 2 Master List

This series is complete! ✔️

Frank Gallagher.

The one man who's fucked over more people in the South Side than any other person in existence.

And Monica Gallagher.

His wife. His female counterpart. Together they had seven kids. Me and my twin sister Fiona, Lip, Ian, Debbie, Carl, and little Liam.

It's obvious they aren't going to win any awards for parenting...but we didn't want to be split up...that's why Fiona and I run the house. We kick in to the squirrel fund. And we make sure that none of us are in foster care if we can help it.

one thing i appreciate so much about shameless is that it does a good job of representing what it means to live in a city. so much of popular media focuses on rich people who live in rich cities and it creates this monolithic story wherein everyone who lives in the city is rich and stuck up and evil (?) and hates small towns/businesses and also, for some reason, hates living in the city and envies those very same small towns/businesses (???).

but like. people in the city are people too. they are poor too. people in the city are happy in their city. people in the city have small business and robust communities who all try to help each other through things. people in the city have culture. and family. and history. and legacy. and love. so much love. not everyone cares about the shit rich city people in rich-city-people-media care about. in fact, only the rich-city-people care about that shit, and they're not even the majority in these spaces. typically it's poor immigrants and poc looking for opportunity and a happy life. sometimes they find it.

idk i love shameless's depiction of the city i love the el train i love the neighbors who help a struggling young family steal milk and get telephone access and love them so much. i love the wandering dogs i love the boys sharing a bike i love them all walking each other to school. i love fiona going to debbie's school events and lip tutoring in the slightly nicer area nearby i love ian working in the local tiny convenience store. i love the community that is forged by these struggling young people who don't have a built-in community handed to them. who have had to make a family out of what little they had.

and they live in the city. and it's their home. and they love it.

The South Side of Chicago isn't the hellscape Fox News, or other bias media outlets, make it out to be. There are very beautiful neighborhoods with charm & character, that are full of beautiful homes such as this. Also, it's safe to walk around too.

lord help me i started watching shameless, about to finish season 1. this show hates women so much. also just the sheer amount of sexual assault played for comedy. it's cool if it happens to men right? like fr why are half the women on this show sexually abusive to their male partners it's so uncomfortable to watch and a prime example of how fucking weird this show is about women. like don't get me wrong, i think it's important to show that men can be and are abused by women. but a) the show consistently plays that shit for laughs to an uncomfortable degree and b) why do so many of the women have to be fucking predators? also fuck kash. step away from the underage boy. anyway it will surprise no one that i believe in fiona supremacy. girlie's just trying her best. and her friendship with v is just immaculate. i love v so much. literally the only woman in the show who is allowed to be sexually dominant without the writers making it weird and abusive (i'm choosing to disregard that episode where she's so horrible to her brother so i can continue liking her). also fiona's relationship with all the kids is adorable, but her relationship with debbie in particular is very buffydawn and i'm so invested. sadly, i've already thoroughly spoiled myself, so i know that shit will get really bad between them and i'm dreading it. might just stop watching before that happens.
