So. Much. This. I binged watched S1-S4 before the start of S5 and I was so looking forward to this season. That was the most disappointing and baffling season finale I have ever seen of a series -- which pretty much summed up the train wreck that was S5.
The entire season seemed to be so forced and contrived. The main reason I fell in love with the show was the strong family bond of the Gallaghers; particularly Ian, Fiona and Lip. But now, I don't even recognized these characters anymore. Fiona was an absentee parent for pretty much the entire season, Lip is the luckiest mofo that ever walked the planet who never face any consequences and Ian -- who had the most compelling storyline -- was barely shown his POV and was completely out of character in the final scene with Mickey. I mean, I can believe given the circumstances Ian and Mickey could break up but what I refuse to believe is that Ian would have no reaction to Mickey telling him that he love him and that he would do absolutely NOTHING when Sammi was trying to kill MIckey. I have never seen so much character annihilation in one season. Even Mickey, who is clearly upset and emotional with the breakup with Ian gets into a freakin' Scooby Doo chase with Sammi and again Ian just jokes about it with Fiona and Vee?
If I watch S6, it definitely won't be live. I might bing watch just see what happens to Ian and Mickey (if Noel Fisher returns to the show).
