It was too busy for a 5yo in my opinion. Its clearly trying to mimic the reality show approach or something like “The office” of Inside out productions¿ Not a fan… we cut ep 2 off and now we’re rewatching Inside out then we plan on rewatching InO2. When I turned it off, my son didn’t even argue or complain… he just simply said “what are we watching next, lets watch InO2” lol so the 5yo disapproved of it too smh. Good attempt at trying to rebrand an already established concept.

It’s funny to read the reviews say this is the BeSt show ever lol… it literally demonstrates the same stuff every european american would call “ghetto” but because it is a poor white family doing the absolute worst things to any and everyone (including but not limited to their own family members) its soooo good. The bar has to be extremely low to think this is a great show. I mean you can find a favorite actor during some scenes… also it is quite funny how far the writers will take the storylines. Between Debbie and Fiona, one might want to go smoke crack too so I didn’t blame Frank for his lack of enthusiasm in being a father to them smh. I had to take breaks throughout the entire binge watching and had to force myself to continue watching to the end. Honestly, seasons 1-3 are the coolest episodes and they really drew in my interest but idk what the hell was happening after that. It was one rollercoaster after another… silly writing at best. You could tell the writers were trying hard to come up with the most absurd things to create narratives about. People in the “hood/ghetto” got more class than the Gallaghers! Lastly, the most unease part about the show was the self inflicted trauma that doesn’t come from childhood trauma in my opinion, it was simply written for dramatic reasons alone. Very unnecessary most times… like why did Fiona leave without transferring guardianship to Lip??? The writers was sooo indulgent in their own way that they didn’t even bother tying loose ends with a proper ending smh. I don’t know about you, but I was hella exhausted after watching all 11 seasons. It should’ve ended after maybe 5/6 seasons w some reorganization & plot rewrites. Also, also, also… I absolutely HATE how they had some many young characters around all that foul language, drinking and drama. even if it was acting.. I know it had a major impact on their development. I don’t think that was fair to them but hey it was their parents who signed them up for that. I am sure thats why Liams character changed mid series bc I can only imagine what it was like growing up on that set. Kids are unable to categorize themselves like adult actors, hence why child stars are so f’up as grown ups. Itll be interesting to see how the children of the Gallaghers house turn out (after the show).
