is this a good show? what does /tv/ think of it?
>>216520369It was good for a few seasons, then got a bit worse and was just dog shit by the end like any show that runs too long. Debbie becoming insufferable, Lip losing any of that "genius" he had and Ian's gay jesus stuff killed the show.
>>216520472when does it peak?
>>216521361i don't know if it's the consensus since i don't converse with shamelessfags but i'd say after you finish s4 is a good stopping point assuming you're already feeling the fatigue setting in and have some willpower in letting gothe performances remain good and i'm astounded at how they keep coming up with decent frank material throughout the run of the show but it quickly loses whatever "main" plot it kind of had in the earlier seasons and nothing really means anything more
>>216521361Around season 3 and then Season 8 onward gets pretty bad but it does get slightly better by the end.
>>216520369If you killed everyone like this, the world would be a vastly better place. Imagine how great it would be with fewer niggers.
genuinely one of my favorite shows even though it gets retarded and gay later on. I watched the uk one first when I was first learning to abuse pills and fucking my prime teenage gf constantly so it holds s special place in my heart, also I would have been the same age as carl in 2003 so watching it now is like a glimpse at my alternate childhood in england with all the on location scenes and realistic houses>>216520369
>>216520369First four seasons are worth a watch but nothing after season 4 ends anon. Treat it as the finale since that’s what it was made as.Pearl the Tranny hanging dog has spoken.
>>216521361Lip in college whichever season that was, all them college tiddies.
>>216521361It peaks exactly at the end of season 1 when Karen fucks Frank
Karen really was the most attractive
The show starts off being about class politics and the horror of being poor in America, then at some point there’s a hard shift to being entirely about identity politics and how browns, faggots, and trannies are perfect people.
>>216521786It basically went full Drumpf
>>216520369Yes Emmy Rossum played her heart out and got no recognition.MCU should cast her as Jessica Jones btw
>>216521849oh believe me, she got recognition for what she got out
After the black baby ods on coke you can stop watching but its 100% kino from the start til then
nah its stupid. its the kinda show your trashy girlfriend makes you watch with her
>>216522872This is correct. Watch it only to get laid
>>216520369If you like the first couple of episodes then I suggest watching until season 4-5, it becomes pretty repetitive after that and characters become either flanderized or parodies of themselves, the plot also gets notoriously woke especially in the late seasons
>>216520369I think it's trash and demoralization for Whites but Emmy was probably a 10 so her nudity was tops.
>>216524674how is a comedy/drama portraying the plight of lower-class white people "demoralization"
>>216520369"people" past 15 who like this show have 60 iq
>>216520369its what those 2011 glee normies would consider an edgy show. absolute slop
I'd say don't bother honestly. Like at all.
>>216524715when it starts shitting on them for being poor and not brown/gay/trans like the perfect people of the world.
>>216525384meds
>>216521361I've watched it all and I would just stop at the end of season 4yeah lots of loose ends, but it's the best ending for the seriesit's like trailer park boys where it should have just ended after that first plan to make all the money completely worked out
>>216520369a good show but >they make debbie into an insufferable character pretty early on>kevin and vi just sort of become entirely disconnected form the gallagher family and just have their own wacky sideplots>lip just feels like a lot of wasted potential through and through>ian's gay jesus arc was some of the absolute worst writing in any show ever>the show doesn't know how to end so it just... doesn't? I can't tell if they were trying to set up a bunch of spinoff shows but in the final episode they start to set up a bunch of plot points that seem to be for future season. >this show is one of the worst when it comes to entirely forgetting about plot points, or plot points that go nowhere. this seems especially egregious when it comes to Kevin and Vi for some reason
>>216521631>>216521702Ya gotta look up the actress who plays Karen and look at her hands!!She has a birth deformity where here fingers are set backwards on her hands (pinky for index finger, etc.)
>american versionone of the purest examples of this, btw. the first few seasons of the uk version felt like you walked into a council estate and just started filming. yanks tried to capture this charm with the most studio slop bullshit ever made. It's like they missed the entire reason shameless was good. Obviously, americans ate that shit right up and it nearly outran the uk slop. I guess it helps that they added lots of goodgoypoint scenes that weren't in the original
