With William H. Macy taking the director reins this week, episode five of Shamless gives viewers glimmers of the familial ties that keep this show from going off the deep end.
While providing some fun, the “Weirdo Gallagher Vortex” will keep your attention, though it doesn’t really feel like a step forward, leaving viewers waiting for the Shameless we’ve come to love.
Even though this week’s episode goes a bit downhill, Shameless has plenty of laughs as the Gallaghers try to navigate life, with plenty of room for the cast to shine.
“Are You There Shim? It’s Me, Ian” doesn’t deliver the sort of Shameless panache that the earlier seasons had, but it bodes promising.
The Gallagher family of Shameless is back with season 9 on Showtime on September 9th!
The fast-paced life of the food industry is a modern miracle that is rarely appreciated. Any waiter or cook will tell you that no matter the level of industry, be it a McDonald’s or a steakhouse, creating food quickly and to customer satisfaction is a daunting task. Burnt attempts to take this one step further by exploring the mind of someone who loves the fast-paced nature of the business.
Burnt is a food comedy/drama, telling the story of a high-ranking chef who has destroyed his career by doing too much drugs and behaving like a diva. American chef Adam Jones (Bradley Cooper) returns to London after cleaning up and wants to redeem his reputation and his career by trying to head a top restaurant that stands to get three Michelin stars. The trailers is chock-full of good-looking, mouthwatering food and young, hipster cooks with top-knots.
