Oscar-nominated actor William H. Macy stars as Frank Gallagher, a single father of six who spends much of his free time drinking at bars. The Gallagher children -- led by oldest daughter Fiona (Emmy Rossum), who takes on much of the child-rearing responsibility due to her mother's absence -- manage to raise themselves in spite of Frank's lack of parenting and unusual parenting style when he does choose to act like a father. The drama is an adaptation of the BAFTA Award-winning British show of the same name.

The finale is actually a pretty apt metaphor for communities in transition periods. It raises the question of who actually benefits from amenities and development, even if it doesn't answer those questions completely, and there's poignance in that.

I love this show, messy flaws, brazen outrageousness, frenetic pacing, offensive story lines, hyper-farcical turns and all. It's not a Breaking Bad or a Mad Men, a pair of near-perfect specimens, but it has the kind of humanity that inspires my devotion.

I understand that Shameless continues to find Frank useful, but the results are never actually interesting, nor do they ever add up to anything.

Just like the sprawling, self-sabotaging Gallagher family, Shameless is by turns generous and murderous; tender and wild; often exasperating and occasionally brilliant.

Shameless fails many of its other characters when it comes to their conclusions. The series even does it in such a way where it feels like the show made a deliberate choice to avoid giving a solid ending to anyone's arc.

The swan song of the Emmy winner still has some surprises up its stain-tattered and still glorious sleeve.

The series Shameless is a deep dive into a catotic family in the poor side of Chicago. Watching the Gallaghers grow up and old, has been moving. I love this show, and what it told us a viewers. Great Great cast, and a great story to follow. Watching the ending dialogue from Frank was so great. And i want everyone reading this, watching the first minute of the pilot. It brought me to tears. I hope Carl bought the Alibi, Lip did'nt sell, Liam to become a great man and Ian to move back to the Southside. Thats the way we get by. Thank you Shameless.

After the largely disinteresting 10th season, the series stumbles a little but builds up to a mostly worthy conclusion. After a solid first 8 seasons this series began to devolve into far too much political rhetoric, with pounding messaging that I agreed with in majority but which did not belong in something that began as dark (and occasionally wondrous) comedy. Overall though, the characterizations were compelling, the humor satisfyingly inventive, and the acting spot-on across the board. Just sorry to have seen it go downhill quite as much as it did....even while I admit missing it.

Worst last season I have ever seen in my life. Just shameless how they brutally killed their own success. The one before was already unwatchable but this last one is possibly even worse. Messy, thousands loose ends, sloppy and completely utterly lacking imagination. Unforgivable. Many complain about Franck's ending which is fine by me but 11 seasons would have given them the time and opportunity to do a so much better ending. Based on this result I can only conclude they either changed writers or the original one is in a serious depression. What a complete shame.
