the real shitty detail is that shameless was on Showtime, not HBO
Great lookin Loved when his tooth fell out from smoking meth
Cal Kestis, oh yes, I know your name.
More importantly that show is about how being dirt poor constantly gets you laid.
Lip at one point is literally having a foursome lol.
Lip smoked consistently to maintain his physique. This is a reference to him being smoking hot.
Is that fucking Cal Kestis
Damn I should start drinking more
Hard to take poverty seriously in reality when our stories about it make it look so sexy.
Is that Cal Kestis!?
is that the mousey guy from the bear
to be fair, i think frank alone makes up for all three of them.
I think I’m the only person on the planet that can’t fucking stand Shameless. It’s corny, dry, and the driving home point of damn near every episode is someone getting laid. I know I sound like a boomer but damn dude. Plenty of the actors are great in other projects but I just don’t see the appeal for this show
Emmy Rossum, all time goat at gettin naked on TV
I keep forgetting Cal Kestis was in Shameless.
also unrealistic amounts of sex. How is a bum like Frank pulling high end MILFs? Especially those from Liam’s private school?
That’s why the US one is dumb, they’re all attractive people. The UK version is so much grittier and feels more real
The uk version doesn’t glamorise it quite so much, people look relatively average with some exceptions and plenty of roughness associated with the broke life. I’ve always disliked the American version as it’s largely a rehash without capturing the same feel.
I know some alcoholics that do look like 1 and 3. My old roommate was hot as fuck but put down litre and litre and litre of costo vodka. Like a big huge bottle in a day sometimes with her and her bestie.
Another shameless rip off of a superior English show along with the office, shameless is set in Manchester..
I always wanted Ian to hold me. Both in the UK and US versions.
Because of my lack of self worth I just envisioned being held. Not sex or a relationship.
Edit: my entire life I’ve never been good enough for the men I loved. So even in my fantasies I am just held and abandoned. lol
Southside!
It makes you a ginger
Yup
Huh, those 3 pictures are of people who look better than average.
Frank: “Am I just a fucking joke to you all?”
the UK version is much better when it comes to characterization
“He’s got a crack bod” – Detroiters
I lift everyday so i can look like the guy on the right
Those jersey shore guys drank alot of alcohol..
Shameless is for poor people what Yellowstone is for conservatives: a complete fantasy.
This show made me want an eating disorder and
Gym membership
This was so good
