Peace on earth, goodwill to all. Loved this movie, which represents the strength of hope and community, in all situations.

I’ve been obsessively binge- watching Shameless, starting at Season 1 for the past 3 weeks. I had such hope for the Gallagher clan, other than Frank. I’ve cried at just a few poignant moments during Seasons 1 – 7; every scene between Ian and Mickey, and of course Monica’s funeral. Lip and Mandy touched me completely, and Sheila was THE prize of the Shameless series. I’m not sure what’s going on with the writers since seasons 5-6, but the entire premise of the show has gone down the tubes with the continuity and their stories, in general. I had such hope for the Gallagher kids, but Fiona’s character is so one dimensional and predictable, Frank was a hoot (as was Svetlana) for a while, but I spend more time fast forwarding through his scenes now, Debbie, Ian and even Kevin & V (where are their twins most of the time?!?) are becoming cringe-worthy, Lip is not believable anymore and Liam is like an afterthought. Gladly, they haven’t messed up Carl’s story. After watching “spoilers” on FB for Season 9 , I’m "saving my money" on the free trial of Showtime on Amazon Prime and moving on. 😎

Comically endearing. Chase and Dreyfus= great combo. Loved MacDowell's character. Definitely not maudlin, thank goodness! Cool road trip adventure! Watch it soon!
