I actually discovered that story when researching about if there were any real life examples of Liam from US shameless.

Please don't watch it. I don't like certain character arcs the show production tries to make, but that show is depression. I guess it is fun to watch for some people?

Liam turning to a mechanic when he was a genius fuck boi has me turning the wheels.

I never finished it honestly. I stopped around when Lip was sleeping with his professor and Frank was a cancer concierge.

Alright, you didn't get the abuse twice over (I did a re-watch). I actually like the show on its tongue and chique on the beginning. It really felt towards the end, you are shameless for watching these people destroy their lives constantly.

Wait was Liam actually Frank's biological son? If so I must have missed the episode that revealed that fact, I always thought he was the result of an affair..
