Shameless S11
Let me begin this post with some stuff that I loved in this final season:
1) I loved how they implemented current trends in our society today. Although they normally do this in each season, this season was especially important because it came with a lot of major political issues such as COVID-19, BLM movement, and gentrification.
2) I loved the self-realization of growth in each character. Lip, Ian, Mickey, and even a bit of Frank.
3) I especially loved Liam’s character. Normally Liam does not get major screen time and I’m so glad he did this season. It was unfortunate that they gave him so much screen time in so little time.
Some things I was upset about and had wished they included in the final season:
1) The return of Fiona Gallagher. I was upset that the season finale ended without her. It was very unfortunate, especially when Frank’s letter addresses the Gallagher gang and totally disregards and forgets Fiona.
2) The return of many other characters or just follow up on those characters. Characters such as Mandy Milkovich, Svetlana, and Steve. I would have appreciated a brief “where are they now” type of slideshow.
3) Sandy Milkovich. She runs off and never returns which left me a bit heartbroken as I really wanted her to work out with Debbie or at least try to not run away from anything that gets tough for her.
4) Slideshow of all the characters “10 years later” would have been a quick way to address all the characters without having to shoot more scenes. I would have really loved to see where all the characters ended up and how they are doing without living with each other and on their own.
I’m really sad that this was the last season of Shameless, but these characters gave us an amazing 11 seasons and I loved each and every character...
Well, Debbie is still questionable to that statement.
