Jesus saves but only the good, right Debs! I like that they don't want separation of family so I'll help : Social Services need to observe the family & correct their mistakes as they go thru their daily life/lives; they are good so I'll volunteer for the position, ROTFL. The man of the family is loser little lip! while his father speaks to his soul: maybe Liam, LOL. Jesus/Jimmy (Carter) bring her to a Economy lodging nxt time, boo!; sweet tomatoes thrown (instead of rotten ones) since they are poor & that's frm your Queen: 👑! It's absolute comedy, thanks Macy & a must-see for the brave! TBC upon request! ☺

I like shameless but I suggest to the director of this tv series to investigate more about the Iranian people. our women do not appear in society with voluntary hijab with goats in their hands. The Iranians are not Arabs and their civilization is older than most countries.

One of my favorites. This out of bounds family brood accepts it's faults & takes no prisoners. Look forward to the last show to see how they all end up. GOOD LUCK!
