It took me a long time to get on the Shameless train - and it wasn't inspired by JAWs success in The Bear. I haven't been able to get on that one bc restaurant stress hits too close to home. Anyway.
I think the show is unique in framing the American family as screwed up, but there for one another sort of. They're moody, forgiving, resentful and fresh... in the first 8 seasons.... After Fiona's departure I felt like a lot of the show fell into ridiculous storylines. They were ridiculous before her last season as well, but I was invested.
It's not good, it's not bad, but just like with many other shows - don't know when to say when. 7/10.
