Oscar®-nominated William H. Macy and Emmy Rossum star in this fiercely engaging and fearlessly twisted series. Chicagoan Frank Gallagher is the proud single dad of six smart, industrious, independent kids, who without him would be...perhaps better off. When Frank's not at the bar spending what little money they have, he's passed out on the floor. But the kids have found ways to grow up in spite of him. They may not be like any family you know, but they make no apologies for being exactly who they are.

[@pj7919]

“First thing he asked me? Was how much money I had on me.” That line describes Franks entire character for the show.

[@victorbelcore220]

Yup that's Frank alright

[@albertmaggiolo7448]

It is but you can see that he is not at all proud of what he did.

[@jpay_7856]

Albert Maggiolo doesn’t mean he stopped, he still asks, he didn’t feel too bad

[@lynetteledesma9277]

Reminds me of my dad he always took money from me since i was a little girl i raised my sister only child for 5 year's im 24 dont have kid's and i know how hard it is you dont think about yourself no more it's about them and it's super hard i try to do what i can

i love this show bcos they didn't portray fiona as this clean as a whistle person shes rowdy she fucks up but through everything she puts her siblings before herself and i think that her character is so genuine i love this show so much

[@purplekissy]

This was back when the show had more heart. I feel like Frank turned into more of a comical relief character with more and more ridiculous story lines. I actually like when it was more realistic and his actions actually had real emotional consequences rather then his kids just ignoring him and letting him do whatever he wants.

[@carlycrays2831]

I think part of it comes down to the fact that since the kids are older, his actions can be funny. His drug habit probably won't leave them starving now.

[@TDYT103]

I personally dont understand why he is still allowed inside their house. But like the previous reply said, he isnt negatively affecting them anymore. Now he just does his own thing and they all know that hes an idiot and are just waiting for him to die

Stuff like this happens all the time and those parents never seen a bit of jailtime, especially in rough neighborhoods where its common, nothing is reported, its actually pretty realistic

He's a Gallagher. When the police come, Gallaghers run. They tend to outrun the cops pretty successfully if you ask me.

[@audreywarren6777]

I work at a child's hospital. I've seen hundreds of cases of kids left out in the heat/snow, dehydrated, hypothermic, FTT, you name it. They are always returned to their parents because for some reason DCF just lets the parents go with a quick "Oh yeah my bad" story. Honestly, I think DCF just believes they'll be better off in a shitty family rather than end up in a home with six other foster kids and no one to call family. My point is I fell in love with this story because I lived through it myself. As long as we're alive and hiding our pain/suffering no one notices. As long as we're out of the way, society keeps ongoing. I mean, when's the last time you thought of checking out that one trailer house with six kids just because you cared? No one would willingly.

[@supernovagirl5741]

You'd be surprised what people let slide lol

[@abeermudassirfatmi6659]

while all of them have been through hell, Fiona's was definitely the worst for how much burden she carried, even before her parents actually abandoned them(as she says later that she was nine when monica left). If she hadnt taken Ian to the hospital that night, he could have died. likewise, there have been many incidents like this over the years. she is the very reason they are even alive right now. she deserves all of the peace and happiness she has right now.

[@oPasifika]

abeer m. fatmi i just don’t get it because if she was nine when monica left.... did monica come back, give birth, and then leave again?

[@stirlingarcher7972]

Zepar yeah I think Fiona has said something about Monica coming back long enough to hand her another kid to raise or something along those lines. I have no idea what season or episode though.

@@haileyturner8219 Remember tho when Frank said he literally cuffed Monica to the bed when she was pregnant with Carl or sum to prevent her from getting an abortion? To which if that _was_ the case that makes me sympathise with her more. But at the same time it doesn't change the fact that she neglected her older kids even before carl and that were born.

"He takes what he pleases and he offers nothing. No money, no support." She's not in anyway trying to insult him or besmirch his character (like he needs help with that). She's just telling the 100% stone cold, unfortunate truth about him. I also love that she looks right at him while she says it

[@jamaljames9331]

Deep down he knows he's a shitty father, but doesn't have the determination to change his ways for the sake of his family. He's too selfish and narcissistic to want to know how to be a better person. He just kinda accepts that this is who he is, and that his chances at having love and respect from his kids is gone.

[@ducky8abug]

New to the show. William Macy is brilliant and yes, he's helped make Frank a character you either love or love to hate but I was under the impression that Shameless was about a family struggling under insurmountable odds, despite the odious antics of their MIA patriarch. I'd like it to remain so; and yes, I'm even interested in the Milkoviches and other characters outside of the Gallaghers because unlike anything I've seen (including the UK version) this show is as real as it gets. There are a lot of aspects about it, that reminds me of how I grew up and I can easily relate. Either case, brilliant show, brilliant acting.

[@aly8950]

she is an amazing actress. Emmy needs an emmy!

One of the most powerful scene in the series

[@lydiamartin8581]

So basically frank left a six year old a two year old and a sick one year old alone [ sorry if ages fare wrong but I thought there was around 4 years between lip and Fiona and I know for sure there is only one year between lip and Ian ]

Lydia Martin I think they messed up because later on they talk about her being 21 and lip being 17

[@somedude5191]

Fabian Garica no that's 4 years.

If you look it up on Google it says Fiona was born in 1989 where as lip was borrn in 1994 and Ian was born in 1996.

An all too common case of what kids do to survive in the face of grossly narcissistic parenting. Yet we usually demonise them for their disregard of authority.
