    The show certainly isn't what it used ot be. Of course, its still dark and raunchy. But the characters and events are becoming worse and worse. Which, you could like as a viewer, or get sick of real quick. Often I fast forward thru some of the parts as I am tired of some of the story lines. That being said, I can't predict what is going to happen next-and its amuzing to see it.

    The show jumped the shark in the last season when one of the least interesting characters raped somebody and got rewarded for it. The show since then, has become focused on her misguided endeavours to have a baby, and wants us to care about her fate when truly, it'd be better if she got killed off.

The show since then, has become focused on her misguided endeavours to have a baby, and wants us to care about her fate when truly, it'd be better if she got killed off.

    Furthermore, it's becoming clear that they don't really know where to go with anyone else. They keep doing rehashes of previous problems, hyped up a character's return just for it to go nowhere, and manufactured other issues which give them nothing to do. While aesthetically this show looks better and packs more of a punch than the original UK version, it at least kept things fresh by cycling through new characters when they realized certain characters arcs were through.    … Expand

    A thoroughly pointless and humorless show which has run its course. My guess is the only reason why they're still making this show is there's just enough guys like me who watch it just for a glimpse of Emmy Rossum's boobs and butt which aren't that spectacular after the 4th or 5th time anyway as the character she portrays is unattractive in several ways.

    As a hardcore Shameless fan, I'm rating this season high because it's tackling some more serious issues with the Gallagher clan. This season does seem to be a little more ridiculous than past seasons, but it hasn't deterred me from watching by any means.

    Difficult show to rate. Acting is very good, especially Fiona's part. Story lines are out there but most are interesting, funny or both. This is black comedy and a fine line exists between provoking laughter and shock. The line is crossed often and many times in the same episode. Guns, abortion, racially mixed families, homosexuality , welfare , drug and alcohol abuse, the writers takeDifficult show to rate. Acting is very good, especially Fiona's part. Story lines are out there but most are interesting, funny or both. This is black comedy and a fine line exists between provoking laughter and shock. The line is crossed often and many times in the same episode. Guns, abortion, racially mixed families, homosexuality , welfare , drug and alcohol abuse, the writers take them all on. Nothing is sacred and you either like it or you don't. The only story line I could live without is the gay kid but that aside , I make it a point to watch every Sunday.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Another great season of Shameless but not as entertaining as the previous seasons. The writing was exceptional especially Lip beginning to have to deal with alcoholism and realizing he has a problem, getting to see Debbie as a mother and having to find a way to be a mother and have a normal teenage life, and Ian's continuous struggle with his bipolar. The character development was phenomenal especially with Lip, Carl, Ian, Fiona, Debbie, Sean, Frank, V, Svetlana, Tony, Mandy, and Kev. The acting was stupendous especially from Jeremy Allen White, Cameron Monaghan, Ethan Cutkosky, Emmy Rossum, Emma Kenney, William H. Macy, Isidora Goreshter, Steve Howey, Shanola Hampton, Dermot Mulroney, Sherilyn Fenn, Emma Greenwell, Steve Kazee, Tyler Jacob Moore, Kellen Michael, Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Will Sasso, Nichole Bloom, and Ever Carradine. The chemistry as always was spectacular. This was another season full of remarkable writing, character development, and acting but this season just wasn't as entertaining to me as the previous seasons were but it is still one of my favorite TV shows of all time.… Expand

    Sinceramente, estou muito divido sobre avaliar esta temporada. Continuo a dizer que a atuação dos atores é otima, especialmente a de Emmy Rossum. As linhas da história não subiram a fasquia, pois os escritores levaram a adiante a ideia das armas, do aborto, das famílias racialmente mistas, da homossexualidade e do abuso de drogas e álcool, mas continuam a ser interessantes e engraçadas.

    This isn’t a new addition--sex, drugs, and violence have always been a part of Shameless’s DNA, but it’s the ornamental way that these elements are being used that feels unsatisfying.... All in all, the first two episodes do a good job of driving the Gallaghers to action and setting up stories that are likely to unfold throughout the course of the season.
