I absolutely love Shameless, but I did not have high hopes for an incredible series finale. I knew it might not be everything I wanted, but I thought I'd at the very least enjoy it. This has to be one of the laziest, most lackluster ways that they could have concluded this absolutely legendary series. I tried so hard to enjoy it for what it was, but after watching for so long and truly investing in the characters, I feel so let down. I realize not everyone will agree with this and I was really hoping I could write a positive review. Nothing feels wrapped up and it literally left more questions than it did answers- and not in a good or fun kind of way. More like the writers had no idea what to do with the characters anymore and decided to just stop trying kind of way.
Ok and, on a side note, literally who edited that whole thing with Frank in the sky. I feel like that could've been a very heartfelt scene with him reading the note. They could've done some cute flashbacks from the early years and really pulled at the heart strings. Instead we got him looking like a bird in a hospital gown with a green screen from the 80s.
Here's to watching reruns and pretending that this finale never aired :)
