I'm flipping around and I see Shameless is on so I figure what the hell. Carl is a cop? How did that happen!?

Debbie might be the most unlikable character on television. And.....I feel like she's not supposed to be.
Fiona was the oldest taking care of the youngest. Debbie is now one of the youngest trying to fill the role of taking care of everyone. It doesn't suit her.They should've expanded her mother issues earlier. It was obvious when Monica returned that she was a momma's girl. She's also incapable of living alone despite almost taking care of her siblings when Fiona left.

The Frank stuff was good last night, and probably could have happened way earlier. His relevance to the rest of the characters has been pretty minimal as the others aged.
I don't mean to shit on the show too much. I enjoyed it a lot over the years, but some of the plot holes this season were pretty unforgivable. LITERALLY in the last episode, Carl sees his pregnant ex......and there's no follow up. Lip relapses in the S10 finale and earlier this season.......and there's no follow-up.
Apparently Rossum did want to come back, but living in NYC, with the COVID protocols and her own commitments, it made it impossible, which, fine, but still...Fiona's existence, especially as it relates to who owns the house/is Liam's guardian, can't just be blindly ignored.
Anyways, the finale was,..fine. There was nothing they could really do to get the show back on track in its last episode. Mickey's stuff was great. Probably the best character in the last season in terms of staying true to the show by being funny, but also really addressing the idea of a character arc as he doesn't know how to deal with moving/domestic life/possibly being a Dad.
Thought it was weird they didn't even have one of the kids get a phone call letting them know Frank died and end it right there.
