    It’s smart to waste no time completing the crossover that began with Abbott Elementary‘s January episode, and even smarter to quickly get back to what fans love about Sunny’s consistently hysterical character beats. Well-paced, unpredictable, and, most importantly, still comical, it’s nice to be in Sunny days again.

    What’s most intriguing about Season 17 is the comfort the writers feel in letting ideas play out over the course of multiple seemingly stand-alone episodes, especially the Golden Bachelor parody featuring Frank as the new contestant.

    Season 17 of It’s Always Sunny makes you glad this ridiculous comedy has gone on for as long as it has.

    Season 17 may not be the best season of the long-running comedy as it will always have its formative years, filled with now potentially cancelable jokes and bits, to look back on, but as far as modern Sunny seasons go, this is one of the funniest. .... When it’s good, it’s really good. When it struggles, you can tell they may have hit a brick wall.
