    The season isn't yet over, but something seems different this year.
    Every episode seems to have them tackling some modern issue, or trying something new and though i may learn to love it, at the moment, i'm constantly being brought out of the programme.
    The first episode seems to be making fun of shows that introduce a new character and try to carry on as if everything is the same, but    The season isn't yet over, but something seems different this year.

    The first episode seems to be making fun of shows that introduce a new character and try to carry on as if everything is the same, but it isn't working. This is a clever idea and on repeat viewing, i quite like how they wrote the lines slightly wrong, made jokes slightly not funny and sucked me into thinking 'oh no, my favourite show is doomed', then pulling the curtain back and saying, 'ahh, we're just making a point, we're still good!'
    Something like this is interesting and clever, but many episodes seem to have a point to make, like the female reboot of the wade boggs' episode, the twist on a clip episode, the Home Alone homage, the 'MeToo' episode, the bathroom equality episode... all of these alone would be alright, not the best episodes, but one of the 'okay, not bad' episodes of a season. But altogether, they destroy the flow of the season and make it appear similar to how a band will release a B sides and rarities, where okay, it's great to have the extra content, but really, it wasn't on the albums for a reason.

    I love always sunny and hope to learn to love this season, but at the moment, other than a couple of decent episodes, it's the worst of the 13 to me.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Disappointing as a longtime IASIP fan...

    The writing this season really took a hit with all these new writers that re-used a lot of old jokes from previous seasons. (The Waiter showing up several times annoyed me)
    I can appreciate them trying new episode formats etc as there have been really successful episodes that spring from those creative ideas (Being Frank, Charlie Work) but this season the new writers didn't know how to properly balance the creativity and there was a lot more misses than hits in this season. There are some good episodes this season and the season finale though feeling out of place in regarding to episode ordering is actually a really great touching yet different episode of IASIP.

    Another big reason I think this season feels so "off" is that is obviously needs Dennis as a full-time character in order to continue and I hope that the future seasons will all include Dennis because this show absolutely does not work without him. It bothered me a lot more than I am willing to admit that they had Mac acting like Dennis in the Super Bowl episodes this season. He felt like a stand-in placeholder spouting off Dennis lines at the gang that episode and don't even get me started on all those wasted cast cameos in that episode.

    PROS: The Gang Escapes, Time's Up For the Gang, The Gang Gets New Wheels, The Gang Solves the Bathroom Problem

    CONS: The Gang Makes Paddy's Great Again, The Gang Beats Boggs: Ladies Reboot, Charlie's Home Alone, The Gang Wins the Big Game

    MIXED: The Gang Does A Clip Show, Mac Finds His Pride    … Expand

    Really poor season. 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.Really poor season. The humor is almost entirely gone.

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

    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.

    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.
