I know the popular thing is to hate the show now, and hey i agree its not as good as it used to be in the first 4 seasons i know that. But i dunno Frank's still doing his crazy schemes just being a no good drunk, and Kev and Vee is still funny as fuck and doing crazy shit, Ian and Mickey's back together, Lip's now dealing with the hardships of raising a baby.....

I dunno call me crazy but i have fun sitting down and watching the show still, i can sit down with a pizza and have a good time for an hour watching it.

I think that’s the problem for me nothing has really changed , they almost made us believe Debbie was going to be really responsible with the money and look what they made her become with it the only one who’s changed is FIONA off screen now lol.

I couldn't wait to see the show without Fiona, as I never really cared for her, but man, if I'd known that the trade off was going to be cranking up the politics to an 11 and the show basically just becoming intense white hate porn, I would've wanted to have kept her around for good.

That said, I'm still also enjoying Frank's shenanigans, Ian & Mick, and Lip has always been my favorite.

Yeah Lip's always been my favorite, he's definitely the most responsible and sensible one of the family.

I loved it last season when he ran Fiona off and forced her to go and get her shit together. And that scene after Fiona knocked his friend off the wagon was an emmy award winning performance by Jeremy Allen White, when he slowly went from a 1 level of emotion to 10 was amazing to watch. And it made me love Lip even more after that cause of how passionate he is and how much he truly cared about his friend he helped get clean.
