The 5 Worst 'Shameless' Characters Of All Time
The very principle of Shameless was to have characters who were morally corrupt. Whether it was drug abuse, sexual promiscuity, criminal activity, or infidelity, the show really showed the full spectrum of shameless behavior. In the sea of less than desirable characters, some did manage to clean up their act and make something out of themselves. Carl became a police officer, Lip got sober(ish), and even Kevin and Veronica decided a change of scenery was best for their situation.

The 5 Best 'Shameless' Characters Of All Time
As the title suggests, Shameless is a show all about Chicago residents who are all unapologetically (and shamelessly) themselves. Throughout the show's 11 seasons, we followed the Gallagher family and their supporting characters on the quest to merely survive in the rough South Side of Chicago. While watching the Gallagher family we saw drugs, alcohol, weapons, sexual mishaps, teen pregnancies, infidelity, and just about every kind of criminal behavior you could think of.

Why We Should Be More Forgiving of Harper in 'Happiest Season'
If you're like me and pretty much every other member of the LGBTQ+ community, you were ecstatic about Happiest Season hitting Hulu. The film directed by queer actress/director Clea DuVall dropped on Hulu this past week, and already, viewers have a lot to say about the Christmas-themed romantic comedy. Not only is it the first major Christmas release to feature a same-sex couple, but it also amps up LGBTQ+ representation by featuring queer actors. Aside from this, the story itself has gained quite the response from viewers.

4 Major Lessons We All Should Take From 'Love, Victor'

The Best Black Horror Films You Can Watch Right Now
We are truly living in a new age of horror cinema. While the genre has always included diversity and featured non-male lead characters, the genre has really taken a turn when it comes to black cinema. If you would have told someone just a decade ago that a horror movie about systemic racism would win an Academy Award, people probably would have thought you were dreaming. But it happened and diversity within the horror community has been at an all time high.
