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.

Shameless: Season 11 | Rotten Tomatoes (1)

Ashlie D. Stevens

Salon.com

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.

Boston Globe

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.

Katie Baker

The Ringer

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.

Bryan M The ending was really bad they should have given frank a better ending Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/10/24 Full Review Sam N Diabolical. Truly difficult to sit through. This is not the same show that it once was Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/09/24 Full Review Lee S I am discussed with the level of GENTRIFICATION the writers have displayed in not even the first episode but the previews alone. You have Carl wearing a rediculas mask (along with many others) constantly as if to be yet another endorsem*nt of Sheeple trying to normalise one of the largest PC lies to be pushed on Society's across the world in the last century(COVID) Good on you guys, thanks for ruining (loosing all respect) for an amazing show just to assert your moronic views. Sorry too the cast(love you guys and your outstanding performance's). I have seen each season more times than I could count, but hold respect for myself and the people who have been damaged by covid vaccines and people like you trying to manipulate and normalise the lie. I refuse to watch even one episode of final season 11. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/16/24 Full Review Audience Member Man this Season showed me how much I love this Show and how fast and strong it grew on me this Season was definitely better than season 6 or 9 but I gotta say it was perfect ,Almost I wished we were getting Fiona back and I wished frank didn't died because he is one of the main characters and even tho he was a bad father ,the end really was emotional and even tho he was a bad father you got the feeling that even tho almost every kid hated him , he didn't hated all of his kids and was very proud of them , and I Loved the interaction that Liam did with frank and he was actually sad when frank didn't showed up and was worried about him, damn that end got even me emotional , what an amazing series , probably , not probably, it is the BEST Show I have watched , and if not it is definitely up there , from season 1 to 11 it never got boring or bad . I'm Definitely will watch it over and over again . I love it Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/29/24 Full Review Paul M Where’s Fiona???The final season of Shameless left me feeling conflicted. It was bittersweet saying goodbye to the Gallagher family, but the absence of Fiona was glaring. She's Liam's guardian and the heart of the household, yet she's barely mentioned. Frank's farewell letter ignoring her just adds insult to injury. It felt inconsistent and left me wanting more closure for such a central character.Fiona raised her siblings, playing the roles of both mom and dad. It's baffling how the show seemed to forget her immense contributions and importance to the family dynamic. Her absence in the final season felt like a disservice to her character and everything she sacrificed for her siblings.Final seasons could have been so much better!!! Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Kim F The overall show was really good, maybe I´ve cut the last 3 seasons haha. But it was enlightening to see how the low class struggles and how they overcome so many problems. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
