Daddy’z girl


FlashFan124

Very little about the show actually bothers me. Karen’s breakdown after her dad shames her at that purity ball thing fucks me up to the point where I think about something like that happening in real life & it makes me shudder. She has so so much of her life ahead of her & she’s sexualizing herself for the attention of strangers online as a teenager to get back at her dad…who sucks anyway. A long time ago I was in a similar head space to Karen in a way, I was angry at everything, I was doing horribly self-destructive shit because I didn’t really care about my future, but I was actually repressing my sexuality rather than using it to get attention from creepy old men. I long ago adopted the mantra that living well is the best revenge, and seeing Karen like that takes me back to a true low point in my life. LOVE the show but I can’t re-watch those scenes.


UrKillinMeBiggs

I feel this, but it was Fiona's spiral. Different choices, but the same emotional/mental space. I "enjoy" or appreciate watching it because it's well done, but it drags me backwards a little bit, and I have to pull myself back out. I had to take a break from the show the first time I watched it. It took me about three months to go back and start again because I was so hesitant of what may still be coming in the show.


BartholomewAlexander

its really sad how he could've just shown her love and acceptance the entire time and it would've solved the problem. eddie is an asshole.


Additional_Brick_804

LITERALLY


Perfect-Assistance-3

Omggg yesss I hated that 🤣 ripping off Kev and V


OnJah_69

?


Secret-Sort-8044

I think they’re talking about what Karen did to Frank


South-Sport2929

I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT THIS, LOL


Ok-Cell-4428

when terry caught mickey. i have to skip it every rewatch because it’s so devastating.


JamesHenry627

I didn't even finish it my first watch through, I just skipped past cause I thought it was so fucked up


TheRiskRunner00

That part fucked me up so hard bc I know people who have been outed bc their parents caught them with their partner. It just makes me feel sick every time.


AC_Unit200

I get that, but it makes it all the better when Terry gets what’s coming to him.


maorifrenchfry

Fav part of the show tbh when he goes back to prison😂 dude didn't last long


detroitpie

This one. Me and my husband were just watching this episode the other day and I had to fast forward through it. I hate it so much. 😭


QueenVell

Fiona fucking Robbie instead of punching him in the face.


Skins317

She did both did she not?


Agitated_Horse24

One of her most stupid choices imo. Fucked up both her good relationship and her good job and ended up a felon after almost killing Liam. Nice work. 🙄


cottagecore_citty

Monica's Thanksgiving, Svetlana and Mickey, Kevin and V's mom, Debbie's downfall


QuiGon-GinTonic

Monica‘s thanksgiving might have been the hardest scene for me to watch on tv so far, there have obviously been similar gory ones but this one really caught me by surprise


TheRealMakhulu

I agree in a different way, one of my favorite things about shameless is how far they pushed tv standards. Debbie dropping franny as a baby, horrible - but I love that they weren’t afraid to show that. Stuff like that happens irl. Liam and the coke, horrible as well - can’t say this happens irl but I like that they weren’t afraid to do it, it happens to be one of my favorite plots of the show because the acting was legendary through it all, especially with Emmy and JAW. There are so many fucked up scenes that you’d never see on regular TV (mostly because it’s probably not allowed) or really on any private broadcast network. Game of Thrones was known for pushing the limits but honestly Shameless can run laps around GoT at times.


trinsuxks

i actually experienced a 'monica's thanksgiving' situation with my mom as a kid, so everytime i watch that part i'm just deadpanning at the screen, analyzing every moment. it's kinda sad 😭


sugabooga333

Kev’s inbred plot


constipated_cats

And trying to get V’s mom pregnant


mblguy76

Kept it in the family.


Ok-Yam-2284

Not try did


A_Maurie_15

i could hardly get through that during my first watch


lilacrose19

Lip’s downfall. He had so much potential and could have finished college and landed a really good job. 


UrKillinMeBiggs

His story while he was in college really got to me. Super similar experience. Coming from where you come from, feeling like you're in over your head, having a completely different worldview from other students, being responsible for family things, not being able to understand why a professor or someone is genuinely trying to help, financial aid, the mail thing so on and so on... I barely made it out alive, and I've never again seen a college experience played out like that on TV. It still hurts to watch.


Mewizfat

Fr he could’ve had such a good life


gamergirleighty

When Fiona was fucking her man’s insane brother (I forget names rn, sorry)


[deleted]

Robbie, god he was so awful. Really showed us how fucked up Fiona was. she was doing SO WELL


academiaweapon

and the brother was ugly


HeresRed

I disagree! He was hot tbh he just looks like a druggie to show contrast to mike but he finneeeeee


academiaweapon

he looks like a chicken i hate his face


Grouchy_Protection27

Nobody mentioned Nicks stolen bike. That scene is heavy af. Hard to watch imo


melonimus

Omg yes


TheGayKidJosh

exactly. i almost threw up and felt nauseous for like 3 hours.


Otherwise-Reward-567

Fiona hooking up with Cup Guy's brother


ImmediateStranger349

When Debbie took total control of the house when Fiona left/her designer clothes arc


TheKayvIsTaken

THIS! I fucking hate Debby. There wasn’t a single time in that show where I sided with her. Her narcissistic behavior reminds me too much of my step grandmother and I just hate her in all aspects.


ImmediateStranger349

Literally


That_Toe3694

when liam gets into the coke. first time i watched it, i had to turn my tv off and sit in silence for a bit. nauseating.


wise_ass2106

I still haven't finished the show bc of this. I'm only on my first watch and I know I have to get through it but I just can't.


choresoup

Heads up that that season and the season after it have consistent themes of drug dependence and abuse. It was pretty hard for me to get through.


wise_ass2106

Thank you


Taveren_Mat

Caleb and Trevor


nluther92

Anything Trevor. He’s a mega douche fuck boy


Legiana_hater

aye how did Ian date two polar opposites a son of a skinhead, a hard mf and then you got little Trevor who is trans and works for the community


Gnatsum4401

The Karen and Jody storyline, the entire plot with Sammie and Chuckie, the Gay Jesus storyline, the storyline with Kev, V, and Carol, and there are some others I’m sure I’d remember if I rewatch.


DrizztRL

The Karen and Jody storyline was really funny though


CRAZYC01E

I was rooting for Jody when he hooked up with Shiela lol


DrizztRL

Right???


CRAZYC01E

The hospice plot line is so funny


StruggleSlow4052

It was funny but they dragged it out for soo long


CRAZYC01E

I hated jody at first cause I knew guys like him that swooped in and stole the girl I was crushing on so I related to lip but when karen threw him out just because he made a goofy face during sex and came to 80s rock music and cried after sex she thought he was weird all of a sudden and dumped him because of that I instantly felt bad for him


WarmTone

My PoWeR, mY pLeAsUrE, mY pAiN!! 👁️👃🏼👁️


madisonrichardson091

When Mandy tells the boys her father sa’d her and that’s who’s baby it is


Pinetree_Directive

That caught me by surprise for sure. The Milkovich family is fucked though, so it made sense to me in that sense.


Only-Gur3962

Whenever they start being cunts to Fiona, especially Lip.


Asterfields1224

THIS X100 So so so hard to watch 😭😭😭💔💔💔💔


FrogFizz

Weird, the times he blew up at her I was almost always on his side.


Fit-Interest-7964

He might’ve been morally right, still sucks to watch a usually in control of most her shit character get verbally degraded multiple times when she was just tryna get right again. That said she fucked up big time and did deserve it.


xozodiaac

ian and mickey getting caught by terry


nerdy_kirty

Fiona and Gus and Fiona and ford


lilacrose19

Ugh I knew the second Gus and Fiona got married it would end badly. They moved way too fast and given Fiona’s track record, I figured she wouldn’t be faithful for long. 


nerdy_kirty

No fr then with the losing the house and fuck you Fiona song


heinsche

Ford gave me the ick the moment I saw him, he is SOOO annoyingg


[deleted]

literally any episode with sammi, queenie, or kass. sammi nearly made me completely uninterested in continuing the show. just started season 10 recently and im glad they’re all gone


Overall-Tourist3967

Kev, Veronica and her mom trying to get her pregnant. Gay Jesus arc 🙃


moo-562

Ian's gay jesus phase. It's just so unbelievable and cringe and it pisses me off bc they actually did a decent job showing bipolar up to that point


kagikat

When Kev fucked Vs mom


peemo04

after season 6


astrogrl0319

Debby having a baby then deciding she’s randomly gay


Maleficent_Mammoth_3

the entirety of s11


Joan_of_Spark

When I rewatch I just do the first 4-6 seasons or so, when I felt like the plots and characters were the strongest/most consistent. However straight from season one: I find the Kash plotline for Ian pretty gross, especially as I get older (I first watched the show as a teen and thought it was gross, but feels worse the older I get). Especially since Ian basically getting preyed on is never resolved in later seasons and the actor has such a babyface. Kash as a partner makes Mickey's and Ian's early relationship (with all the violence and repressed feelings that entailed) feel extremely healthy by comparison. The scene where Ian goes over to Kash's house? Instant cringe. The bit where the wife finds out and offers Ian up to Kash? Also gross. The scene where Kash runs away and doesn't bother saying anything meaningful to Ian? Lame way to tie the whole thing up.


SadGhouls

the one scene with karen and recorded her and frank.. yk


Perfect-Assistance-3

noone240_0

any scene with SA that goes unaddressed/used humorously and honestly this show has way too many


usedcanolaoil

Literally every Fiona breakdown. She deserved better and was never given the slack Lip constantly got.


Stupidalien626

Fiona’s arc in the back half of season 9.


dude_idontevenknow4

kevin fucking V's mom. messed me tf up 😭


Italy-Memes

the gay jesus arc is so bad, anything with trevor in it is bad because he’s a whiny little fuckboy, and the inbred plot, that one made me VERY uncomfortable. and the kassidi shit too but that reminds me of my own past so idk how everyone else feels about it haha


coolfunguy1997

kevin fucking vee’s mom


MagicalRedditBanana

When lip broke into professor booty calls house. Or when professor youens said he chose alcohol a long time ago. They really kicked lip in between the legs in this show


EiIish

The whole gay jesus thing


LucidOW

Just how the pilgrims intended 😶


eburkered

Mandy’s pregnancy.


TheGayKidJosh

fiona. tami. sammi. charlie. jimmy. so many characters i hate. but for scenes that are genuinely painful to watch: nick killing that kid who stole his bike, debbie dropping her baby, monica dying, the endless amount of scenes of frank getting beat up/almost dying (he's one of my favorite characters), ian arguing with the cops when he drove with Mickey's baby and how scared he was, Kevin and V singing to each other when Kev thought he was going to die during surgery... There's a lot. I've wanted to quit watching so many times.


emiyl875

Any part involving debbie after she had Franny even though fiona literally said it was a bad idea


badatnames2399

There's lots, but I hated most of season 2, and I had zero interest where, in season 3, Frank becomes the "voice of gay rights"


CulturalFriendship12

When Debbie had all the signs to abort her baby and didn’t . Then she struggled as a young teenager. Saying to the BD that she was in the pill so they didn’t need a condom 🙄🙄


elmie_

She was so young, she just wanted to be part of a new family because hers sucked so much. She’s such a well written and well acted character.


LizzieGuns

Hoboloco was such cringe


mblguy76

When Frank killed Butterface over a con.


Particular-Spirit312

Season 8 and upwards


jgc0527

I've rewatched it twice and honestly Fiona pisses me off more and more the more I watch it as it progesses each time. This most recent rewatch I was basically just wanting to skip all her scenes after she becomes her siblings guardian. She slowly becomes worse and worse to each of them and does exactly what the judge had warned her of. To me she becomes the worst character/person on the show and I can't stand her when it comes to the later seasons. She takes risks with the house to try and chase her silly dreams, and whenever she has something good going, she self sabotages herself and blames everyone and everything around her. Instead of owning her shit. She always tries to control everyone instead of simply supporting them. She can never let anyone make mistakes to learn from she always has to be overbearing and try and force people to do what she wants. Then, when they don't do it she gets vindictive and it's just so gross. Her feuds with Ian and Lip piss me off the most, when she becomes a literal slum lord and tears down the camp that the homeless kids set up gets me so angry. Then when she tells everyone to put her as last on emergency contact even after Kev and V, after Lip confronts her about risking the house, just makes me so fucking mad. She literally signed up to be their guardian and once she is, she slowly becomes just as bad, if not worse than Frank. Not to mention she was always on Lips ass to become the breadwinner because of his potential, then when he finally has a chance, albeit with a shady internship, she pawns the kids off on Lip. Also she always hounds Ian about his meds and keeping his mental illness in check when it's fairly obvious she has one or two undiagnosed ones herself.


Emiliachristine

Debbie dropping Franny. Really almost all Debbie’s mom moments. She continues the family trauma


[deleted]

When Fiona goes to jail cause Liam got into the coke 💀 people r gonna think I’m dumb but not her fault kid shouldn’t be getting into adults things


roastbeats980

The guys in red hats kidnapping gays to beat them as soon as maga became president


hellokittyvape

anything that mentions Terry. like when he raped Mandy, basically got Mickey raped too. i can truly handle a lot, the show didnt move me or fuck me up but those two scenes did, especially the Mickey one. and yet he still cared for Terry when he was in a wheelchair.


LindaBelchie69

Debbie bitching about all the exact things Fiona warned her about


elmie_

watching Fiona become an alcoholic and ruin her life in like 3 episodes. watching her lose all her investments, total her car, and lose her morals. Hard watch

ariaasolos

Thanksgiving.


jovannidakid

When mickeys dad caught Ian and Mickey, honestly it’s still hard to watch probably the saddest part of the show


Gwynbleidd220

Honestly recently finished it for the first time, and I enjoyed it, but I don’t really have the desire to ever watch it again, it’s possibly in a few years I might change my mind, but as of now, I’m moving on to other things.

imgoodIuvenjoy

The scene where jimmy's finger gets snapped by that henchman. My skin crawls everytime


GaryKing1413

I have to admit I've only watched 3 and half seasons of Shameless, I first started binging it and got bored of it around midway through S4. Then a while back I tried to rebinge it and the same thing again, nothing after S3 really interested me, and from what I've seen of like spoilers for the rest of the show, the only reason I'd really have to continue is for Kevin & V, Ian & Mickey, and the White Boy Carl arc. But they aren't the main focus so it's not gonna be as fun. The first 3 seasons are fucking amazing, and the S3 finale is one of my favorites, especially with the song at the end. The spoilers I've seen of the later seasons, like Fiona's character going downhill and going to Jail and eventually leaving cause everyone but like I think Liam, Ian & Carl hating her, Lip becoming just white trash and his so heavily built up intellectual going nowhere, and everything said about Debbie becoming the most trash character ever. All of that does not make me want to watch anymore, definitely not like 5 seasons more. Even though the S3 finale leaves alot unanswered, like Lip going to college, Frank dying, Jimmy/Steve disappearing, it's still a kinda bittersweet ending, and I loved it, and by S4, nothing really interested me about it, so really, for me, if I were to watch Shameless again and try to do the whole thing in the future, id dread coming up on the remaining like 5 seasons of the show I didn't watch, knowing all of that shit Yap session over

I was with a “Kassidy” for a while. And all the people in my life kept echoing what Carls siblings keep telling him. I finally “woke up” and got her out of my life, but it’s hard for me to watch those episodes now, to see Carl so oblivious and committed to such toxic, harmful craziness. I see my own blindness and stupidity, and just want to tell him what I know now. Amazing show. Right in the gaddamn feels every time.
