I was a big fan of Sierra (Lipp's waitress girlfriend) in the most recent season. Tight, athletic body.

That Lipp has had some hot arse women over the years. The professor was probably tops on the list.

That David Berkowitz looking guy's success with the ladies is even more inexplicable than Martin Tupper's. Far more.

As cougars go, she was tops.

I fast forward through all of the Ian and the tranny scenes.

the scene where Trevor introduces Ian to all of his nonbinary, cisgender, and whatever else the frick they call themselves made me die laughing. It was funny seeing the Shameless writers making fun of this current crap in our society.

They weren't making fun of it. They were celebrating it and indoctrinating the audience in it. Trevor's whole arc was to sell you on his "normalcy".

I agree with you. BUT, they were exaggerating that scene to an extreme to promote some sense of humor. In my opinion of course.

That's how I felt as well.


That said, I hope we don't get any more Trevor in the future.

Pretty much how I feel. I want to take a shower after watching, and I admit to feeling depressed, not entertained, after some of it. Some of it has turned into ridiculous parody, but in the earlier seasons was just too dark for me.

The show is still top notch but has lost something for me. Don't know what "it" is but I still dig it enough to tune in.




Ya, I thought it started to drop off a little this season. Still very good but not as interesting for me.

She gets naked in most episodes. as well does every single female character besides Debbie.


Im glad they got away from the Ian/bipolar thing. It was becoming too much.

Trevor does, but his friends don't. To the comments about the show satirizing these people in the LGBTQDBCGHY scene, satire works best before the point of maximum ridiculousness has been reached. That scene could have been in a documentary. You could make a promotional documentary around Trevor's whole arc.

Just don't know why they gave them the last name Gallagher, should've been Murphy because anything that can go wrong does go wrong, even when things are going good.

thats what makes the show what it is. Bunch of southside kids with shitty parents that have to fend for themselves.


I admit I wasnt in love with season 7 like I was with the first 6 seasons. I miss Steve/Jimmy. His character was great for the show.

That's me as well. Watched a couple of episodes. The funny thing is that my younger self would have LOVEd this show. I absolutely lived on literature and movies that celebrated low-life, druggie, underground culture (Bukowski, Denis Johnson, the Beatniks, Drugstore Cowboy, True Romance, etc.. etc..), but it's just sort of sad and dirty for me to watch this stuff now.

I guess tastes change.
