With the continuation of last week’s vibe, episode 7, “Down Like The Titanic” distributes another Shameless highlight of season 9.
After nine seasons, we say goodbye to one of the Gallaghers in what is easily the best episode of this season of Shameless thus far.
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.
“Do Right, Vote White!” marks Shameless’s 100th episode and it does so with the style we’ve become accustomed to.
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.
