Depraved underachieving might look easy, but for the egocentric Mac, Charlie, Dennis, Frank and Dee, it's an art form; "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" follows "The Gang," the owners of the unsuccessful Paddy's Pub; a group of degenerates who loves nothing more than to scheme, conspire, and mostly revel in each other's misery; whether gaming the welfare system, exploiting dumpster babies, pretending to be crippled, impersonating officers or faking funerals, The Gang never stoops too low in the name of making a buck.

"Flowers for Charlie" felt very much like an "Always Sunny" episode, by way of "Flowers for Algernon." Now, it also happened to be a very funny latter-day episode. Go to Full Review
Mark Peters Slate 10/16/2020
It's Always Sunny is gross, negative, trashy, and proud of it. And Olson's performance is -- brilliantly -- all over the place. Go to Full Review
Emily Nussbaum The New Yorker 12/29/2013
Binge-watch episodes, and a gonzo compassion begins to seep up through the filthy surface. Go to Full Review
Michael Hewitt Orange County Register 10/14/2020
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia begins its ninth season in surprisingly strong shape, still finding ways to twist our expectations for low-brow comedy by sneaking a consistently intelligent point-of-view into the scripts without anyone noticing. Go to Full Review

3/4
This season's early episodes do their job by offering up what the fans want --The Gang doing horrible things and acting crazy... Who knows how long "It's Always Sunny" will run, but its legacy is strong and doesn't show signs of lessening. Go to Full Review

It felt like they were starting to run out of ideas at this point, and this season didn't hit as strong as some of the others for me. Overall, still a very good season.
