Critic Reviews

Jonathan Keefe

As in the show's third-season creative peak, the attention to continuity and timely plot devices is well balanced by the focus on character and actual comedy. Read full review

Clark Collis

The result is stupid, deranged, and fairly disgusting, none of which should be taken as criticism. Read full review

Jonathan Storm

Comics have been doing this sort of thing on TV since I Love Lucy and The Jackie Gleason Show in the '50s, but never with the hilarious depravity of Sunny. Read full review

Maureen Ryan

Season 5 brings more of the same, but the characters are so well delineated and the performances are so solid that more of the same is a good thing. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Matt Roush

If your taste runs toward the appallingly crass, then you’ll probably want to end the night with a new season of the incorrigibly amusing It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Read full review

Ellen Gray

It's Always Sunny is still very much It's Always Sunny, which should be good news to its many fans, especially those who may not long, as I do, for just a bit more subtlety now and then. But, hey, it's OK. DeVito and the rest are totally committed to everything they do, no matter how absurd, and more often than not, they manage to sell it. Read full review

Following on from a stellar fourth season It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia's remains at its absolute best throughout this fifth season, remaining laugh out loud funny and further cementing its place amongst my favourite comedy series of all time.

Easily the funniest show on tv. The chemistry between the cast is obvious in every episode and adds to the hilarity of the show. One of few shows out there that is not afraid to take any topic, no matter how sensitive, and find the humor in it. Truly a one of a kind show.

BEST SHOW EVER! Ridiculously funny. The whole cast is awesome. Every episode will keep you laughing. The characters are always getting themselves into crazy situations and it is always fun to watch.

Top notch. But not as subtle as some episodes.

Absolutely hilarious. It's Always Sunny really returns to what made it amazing in the early seasons and continues to be one of the funniest shows on television.
