*Brief summary of review*
Official Rating: 8.7
There couldn't have been a better time for Shameless to come back, and "Milk of the Gods" was a great place for the new season to start. The fallout from "Lazarus" was heavy, and this week's episode wasted no time getting us up to speed on where it's left everyone. It also set a lot in motion, like Frank's "divine" beverage, to the timetable for Ian's next depression phase. The lack of character development in some fronts continues to become a glaring problem, but season 5 has so much else going for it already, the "highs" of its season premiere easily crumple its "lows".
Rating: 8.7 + Frank's "secret project" + Mulroney's Sean is a fantastic new love interest for Fiona + Mickey's evolution + Lip contemplating his future – Carrying Shiela and Sammi's rivalry over from last season was a poor decision – Debbie and Carl still woefully underdeveloped
