an unapologetically SHAMELESS recap(part one)

[@neivilde.1242]

so much of my experience with shameless is so wrapped up in ian and mickey, i forget how good everyone else is. like, the scenes of fiona suddenly bursting into tears and then stopping because she has to get herself together for her family never fail to get me, like damn

Fiona embodied a mother with that strength, I feel like this was what sold her character for me.

[@mollsypops2002]

One of my favourite aspects of this show is just how well they combine a mixture of moments that are absurd and moments that are just so real they physically hurt. Along with the fact that there are moments that you really don’t like a lot of the characters you usually love. Like there are a lot of moments when you find yourself really liking Frank because he has quite a few ‘comedic’ moments (for lack of a better word), but there are moments where the reality of just how terrible of a man and a father he is hits you like a brick to the head.

[@cainvarner]

100%

[@SarahBrown-mg6cy]

I always think back to a scene where Philip is bathing his baby and falls and feels like he almost dropped him. Frank walks in and instead of being horrible he tells lip it'll be okay and that babies are made of jello at that age. I think about it both to make myself feel better as a mother but also to remember I'm not the only one who struggles.

[@alexisbarrington4443]

The way jimmy was never a good boyfriend to Fiona AND people swear they are goals is gross. he was cheating on her, lied about tons of shit, love bombed her when they met and is shown to only do something for them when he’s trying to look good , he never would have told Fiona he was lying about his name and family and only does so because he’s caught after bribing Debbie and lying more, he only gets back with her because estafania bf was gonna murder him and he had no where else to go. As soon as he has to live the life he’s been telling Fiona he wants with her for 3 seasons he throws a fit about what actually living as a poor person is like and blames it on Fiona to leave to “become a doctor” for the family which was just more gaslighting and lies. Fiona likes him so much because he’s just like frank. Emotionally unavailable, liar, manipulative, narcissistic, impulsive, etc, it’s also why almost everyone she gets with in the show is just like frank in one way or another (granted her cup job boss wasn’t) but that’s exactly why she ends up cheating on him with his brother that is just like frank.

[@milkisreallygood8957]

i think the reason why people like Fiona and Jimmy together is because they fit well together. They're both unstable, fucked up and have a sus past. They will never be a healthy couple because both of them have issues in their lives they need to store out. Out of all Fiona's boyfriends, I like steve/jimmy the most despite the toxicity because they matched each other and Fiona seems to actually love Jimmy compared to her other boyfriends. However if Fiona gets her stuff together and heals herself from the past, she will outgrow Jimmy. Also, I don't think any relationship in shameless is a good relationship lmao.

[@shannonceleste5557]

33:02 the amount of times this show would randomly introduce a character like 'Veronica's unstable older brother' who would appear for maybe 1 episode or 1 season and then we never hear about them again can only be compared to a daytime soap opera imo

yup yup i dont think we ever heard back from him hahaha

[@cainvarner]

@@annabaragona7064 I will always be a Debbie defender. She’s of course made a lot of mistakes but I feel like people hold her to such a different standard compared to the other siblings.

[@cyagami90]

​​@@cainvarneri only disagree bc shes a horrible mother. Fionas their sister not their mom so she messes up many times but she apologizes and pushes them to do better than her. Lip ends up being a wonderful father. But debbie not only trusts her daughter with absolute strangers, she stole her money from her dead dad and didnt put any of the money fiona left towards franny. She had so many opportunities to teach her daughter to be a better person and just never did it. She neglected her daughter to the point that franny was lost with a mentally demented alcoholic for a whole day, then had the audacity to blame everyone else for not taking care of her for her.

[@nayshine7875]

@@cainvarnerWell she is held to a different standard.. she was a mother most of the show 😂. As soon as Franny came into the picture you no longer can make careless decisions because you have a whole human being that has to be put into consideration with every choice you make. You can give her leniency for being a teenager having a child but with the child being conceived deceitfully and intentionally that aspect goes out the window. It’s like how all of Fiona’s stupid decisions were instantly 10x worse when she became guardian to all her siblings.

[@kasiafields6377]

I’ll be a Debbie defender here. She’s not a great person, she literally SA’d someone. But she’s a FANTASTIC character and I’m sorry but she is so god damn hilarious. And I’m a sucker for a hottie.

[@sethfulton7011]

i think the criticism of fiona dismissing help from steve. it’s hard to imagine if you didn’t grow up in legit poverty surrounded by ppl in situations just as bad - if not worse. in that environment, every single interaction is transactional, so when somebody helps you, they expect it paid back, usually with interest. and 90% of the time this isn’t a dollar amount they expect back, but favors. in fiona’s case she probably has a lot of PTSD from being the parent to 4 kids at the age of 9, and innocently trying to get help from grown men, and getting taken advantage of or expected to do ~*•favors•*~ for these men in return for them helping her.

[@FruitSnackMatt]

The Shameless recap intro at the beginning was not only appreciated but absolutely fucking necessary. Well done!

[@transrightsarehumanrights_]

it’s about time i watched another video the same length as a feature film recapping a tv show ive never seen a second of

[@kenamada5451]

Out of all of these recap videos this is one where I will say WATCH SHAMELESS! It is such good TV. One minute trash humor, the next emmy winning emotional drama. Fiona's emotional scenes are iconic every single time. The way she cries and then has to reign it back in for the family. Cinema!

[@mmck00]

Been wanting to rewatch shameless but couldn’t deal with how emotionally exhausting it can be to watch so thank you so much for this absolute banger, u never miss king

[@mj2585]

My favorite part about this show was the realism of it. I know for a lot of people that may sound insane, but tbh there was a *ton* of stuff in it that reminded me of my own upbringing so I became pretty obsessed with the show because it felt, like, familiar.

[@mariachi3217]

I like that it’s pretty reflective to reality. Sure the jokes, bad as they are, reflect the reality of what’s happening. Is there anything being peddled? People can argue Islamophobia but ultimately there’s no solid yes or no but it’s just character interactions of what the writers wanted to portray for people who live in extreme poverty conditions might joke about. I’d say a lot of the criticism, while well meaning, just erases a lot of the why those things happen. Yes the big main one with the ages gaps are very important to point out. But it’s a very common problem in reality for people who were forced to grow up quickly or just being a product of living in poverty. It isn’t just a trope but an actual product from reality. Almost all tropes are products from reality.

Despite quite a bit of issues with the later seasons, shameless is an iconic show. The way so many character were so messed up but you couldnt help but root for them needs to be studies. The first 4 maybe 5 seasons of the show are some of the best seasons of television ever. Also the acting is incredible. By far one of the best casts of all time which is incredible considering a lot of the main characters were under 18 when the show began. The fact that none of these actors ever won an emmy is mind boggling

[@Rayyyych]

CAINNN you really pulled through with this one🫶 Shameless is one of my fav shows ever, but there’s really not a lot of commentary/ reviews on it. So excited to listen!!

[@brooklynsalzwedel4330]

You handled some of these tougher topics and problematic storylines sooooo well. And using your platform to advocate for Palestine is just fantastic.

[@cainvarner]

it was honestly very difficult to decide what to include and what not to include. but yes i truly dunno how it’s hard for some people to do the bare minimum of spreading links or other resources in their videos. especially if they’re a bigger creator…

[@braingirl9112]

When it comes to Karen's erractic behaviour in season 2 after the baby is born, I always thought she was suffering from postpartum depression. Depression doesnt always manifest sadness/emptyness sometimes its manifest as irritability and anger. I don't think they ruined her character in that moment.

[@cainvarner]

i’m talking specifically about her reputation as Lip’s “girl from next door” being tainted, which obviously she was never exclusively together with him, but the fact that she ran through so many men, came back to Lip, manipulated his feelings about going through the whole process of adoption “together”, just for the baby to not be his, and yet somehow HE is the one who’s still willing to show the child love… Also not even just about the baby thing. she was so cruel to Sheila who literally only wanted to take care of the child AND keep Karen in her life. At first when Karen returns in Season 3 she’s definitely less insufferable but then immediately starts trying to break Mandy and Lip up(which this is obviously more Lip’s fault but i thought i’d include it because it shows she’s not a girls girl) Lastly, her trying to force Hiram out of Sheila’s life is again CRUEL. i do not care if she suffered postpartum depression, She chose to try to ruin Lip’s relationship with Mandy and ultimately paid the price for that(not that what Mandy did was okay AT all, but still) Either way, i still love Laura Slade Wiggins in the role and it’s a shame she left the show with almost no redemption arc for the horrible things Karen did.

[@braingirl9112]

@@cainvarner I didnt want to excuse her behavior, just explain it because it seemed like you were confused about where she was coming from in your video.

[@brettman273]

All of the inappropriateness, the uncomfortable moments, the legal gray areas with the relationships, the homophobia... All of it is realistic and necessary to tell this story. I get that it makes people uncomfortable and offends them but it's how real life is. I live in a world like this and it's quite simply just the way it is. So if you're gonna tell a story that's grounded in reality, you simply cannot sanitize said reality just to satisfy what is ultimately a loud minority who cannot distinguish art from their feelings. I say this all with love and respect but I stand by it. I wouldn't change a thing about this show, it's a masterpiece, especially in the earlier seasons.

[@Nick867]

I think Mickey is a great storyline for a gay person that doesn’t have a supportive family and is raised by mega conservatives, and how he gets out of that in the end. He’s a great opposite to Ian while also having something in common so they relate, while having their differences in background. Mickey had a lot of great character development getting away from at least some of his internalized homophobia (or genuine homophobia) and learn to be a better person

[@cainvarner]

idk about the development part…by the end he’s still a racist bigot who’s a little more feminine that before. i’m glad he makes ian happy but he’s the main reason i really cannot stand some of the “here’s your gay character, but they have to be an awful piece of shit” representation the show delivers regularly

[@Nick867]

@@cainvarner that’s fair but I also remember Mickey distinctly pointing out his father’s racism as a negative (meaning he didn’t like his father due to that as he got older) which means there is at least some development on that end. This still applies even when Mickey was mourning his father after his death, growing up in a mega conservative family causes you to have REALLY complex feelings and relationships towards family members, and affects your development/personality) He still has questionable tendencies but this show is all about imperfect people. I completely understand the critique on the “gays have to be an awful piece of shit” trope though, it gets tiring when your only rep is really straight passing for such a long time

I am soooo in love with this show omg. it's so fucked up and so good, thank you thank youuuu to making this wonderful long video about it!!! looking forward to other parts!

the start of the video really put how long the show is into perspective my days how did i watch it all so fast

[@actualathena]

never got past the first episode of this show so I’m living for your recap

[@lopsupopsu]

i've watched a few other shows with the "minor 'dates' an adult" storyline but it never hit me how truly heinous it is to show like it's no big deal until i watched this show. i'm an adult now which plays a part, but ian's actor being a minor during the shooting of s1 and very much looking like A CHILD was the thing that made me truly disgusted. when the 17-year old hooking up with someone in their 20's is played by a 25 year old it doesn't look that bad but when the actor is a child themselves the reality hits you.

if i’m not mistaken he was a minor during the pilot but was 18 for the rest of S1 which is still HORRIBLE, but like not illegal because they wait to have them kiss on screen until he was 18. FOUL either way
