Studly Doright and I, after finally learning how to use Netflix, have gone a little nuts. We’ve watched “Orange is the New Black,” “Schitt’s Creek,” “The Ranch,” and “Grace and Frankie” along with several others. We started “Longmire,” but it didn’t really tickle our respective fancies, so we went looking for something else. That’s how we stumbled onto “Shameless.”
If you’re a parent and wondering if you’re doing an adequate job, watch “Shameless.” I guarantee your faith in your own abilities and common sense will be restored.
The story follows Frank, played by William H. Macy and his many offspring. As a father, Frank really sucks. He’s a grifter and a conman who shirks his responsibilities at every opportunity.
His eldest child, Fiona, runs the household, and that’s no easy task. She’s barely an adult herself and sometimes she isn’t quite up to the task. But she’s resourceful, as are her siblings. They borrow and sometimes steal in order to stay afloat, always one step ahead of the bill collectors.
“Shameless” is great fun. It’s sexy and sweet and often hilarious. And after watching even one episode, you’ll never doubt your parenting skills again. I promise.
Peace, people.

I watched some Orange, lots of Schitt’s Creek (and I copied Moira’s hair in the reverse) and some G&F…Shameless looks intriguing. Thanks for the tip.

The first two episodes didn’t thrill me, but we absolutely fell in love with the family. It just gets better with every episode.

That’s just it. We are on season four now, I think, and the growth of the characters is believable, and more importantly, amazing. And their chemistry! Wow

I agree. There are some interesting interviews with cast members via google. Apparently Catherine O’Hara invented her affectations and accent and kept everyone in stitches. I try to say “David” the way she does, but my attempts fall flat. Alexis was my favorite, though.

We watch very little on the actual telly these days. Maybe the odd catch up thing from some of the Iplayers, or maybe if there is something new and good. But that is about it. Netflix is brill
