Season 13 proves McElhenney, Day, and Howerton aren’t out of ideas; the formula they’ve established still works beautifully, and allows them to stretch as far as their creativity demands. Read full review

Season 13 finally feels like there’s an actual world happening outside Paddy’s Pub, and—like several other terrible people in 2018—that world has something to say about The Gang. To be clear, this is a change for the better. Read full review

Probably the most inconsistent season of the show. Glenn's absence is very apparent and the steps that Sunny takes in a different direction are a bit clumsy.

The opening, largely Dennis free episode, marks a good start to the season but from then on it is a very mixed bag. When the gang are all together, such as in the episode "Times up for the Gang" the show comes pretty close to being as good as ever but characters such as The Waitress and Artemis, both funny as minor supporting characters, show that they're simply not capable of filling Dennis's shoes in the episodes where he's absent. Unless the entire gang are going to be together more often I'd rather this was the last we see of the show...… Expand

It's a flip-flop season, Every other episode I don't like and that's weird for me but the episodes I do like, I love. The Times Up episode and the Escape Room episodes are classic.

Really poor season. The humor is almost entirely gone. New writers have been used that don't seem to understand the characters.

The humor is almost entirely gone. New writers have been used that don't seem to understand the characters. Characters are involved in plots where in previous seasons they would've disregarded it and be sent off on some B-plot. There's a lot of "issue" type themes that normally would not be the central plot in classic sunny episodes but in this season are never left. Every character feels off in terms of dialogue and personality and the episodes are humourless.

There are 1-2 good episodes in the season that still feel like classic sunny. I don't know why the rest aren't.… Expand

This season was off and I guess you could blame it entirely on the new writers (cause the actors are *ucking great).
It seems they ran out of original ideas in the spirit of what motivates the gang, and also included side characters from previous seasons to distract from the stale scripts.This season was off and I guess you could blame it entirely on the new writers (cause the actors are *ucking great).

Only one episode stood out for me and it was "Time's Up for the Gang".
(The worst was "The Gang Solves the Bathroom Problem").

I really hope next season will include more of Dennis and hopefully we could see something like "The Gang goes to Mexico" or "The Gang goes to Prison".… Expand

This season can be summarized as "The Gang Sells Out."

Some of the funniest and most original writing of all time has been replaced and/or "supplemented" with weak, "woke" writers like Danielle Schneider who all have a corporate-approved message they want to drive home. After all, Sunny's always tip-toed along the edge of what would now be considered "problematic" by a certain group of people, so it makes sense that the trend of toning down what they perceive as insensitive would one day reach Sunny.

To clarify, I'm politically a centrist. And it's true that Sunny has had some slightly political episodes in the past. "Charlie Goes America All Over Everyone's Ass" comes to mind. But ultimately, the joke was always on how inept and narcissistic all the characters are, and there was never a side implied to be "correct". Also, these episodes would be about one per season. Having a season entirely comprised of episodes like this, where a right and wrong side are clearly implied by the writers, feels patronizing, pedantic, and preachy.

As a side note, the overly meta observational humor throughout the season is typical of United Citizens Brigade (UCB) comedians like Schneider and, while that may work in improv from time to time, it's just so lazy from a writing point of view. If you're going to make a female reboot of an episode, just have the balls to do it (pun intended). Don't mention it 40 times in the same episode ffs.

I just hope next season can get back to comedy as the focus (which would require getting rid of these corporate-appointed writers, so it's unlikely).… Expand
