Shameless/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** Throughout the episode where Frank's dad returns, he persistently subtly belittles Frank and puts pressure on him to do something with his life. Fair enough, you'd think, until he finally crosses this by {{spoiler|shaking a ladder that Frank was on, going on a rant about how he wished he'd killed Frank as he was born. It's also suggested (by Frank) that Neville got Frank's mother pregnant just to slow her political career as a trade unionist down.}}

* [[Protagonist-Centered Morality]]: You'd think the audience would side with Neville Gallagher, the typical Lancashire grandad who comes out of nowhere to demand his waster son takes charge of his life, stop spending his nights down the pub, get a job and look after his kids to support his mentally ill wife. Instead, we're supporting Frank because Neville is, let's face it, an arsehole.

* [[Strangled by the Red String]]: Kelly and Marty barely speak to each other in the early series, yet by series 9 when Marty returns, he suddenly announces he loves her and even stranger, she seems to return the feeling despite being married to Shane for years.

* [[Tear Jerker]]: A few here and there but none as heart-breaking as {{spoiler|Jamie Maguire singing 'The Last Rose of Summer' at his sister's funeral.}}
