I dont know if this was brought up before, and I can't believe I'm recommending a CBS show but we tried Evil after remembering some vague appreciation for it online. We've been really enjoying it, especially surprised with some of the imagery theyre working with. Even his other villain roles in the past haven't sleeved me out as much as Michael Emerson does in this

Happiest Christmas on Hulu is not a great movie, but it's good if you just want a nice happy story. Four farts outta five. Underwater, however, gets five farts just for the visuals. It's alien in the ocean and even though it has TJ Miller... don't worry.

Where’s a good place to start watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia? The beginning? Are there any “best” episodes to get hooked on the show?

I'd probably start at the beginning. The first season is sort of different/weird and it hadn't really found it's footing yet, but is still pretty good. It's just way less absurd than later seasons and Danny Devito isn't in it. Season 2 really kicks off what it eventually became, so if you really wanted to you could probably just start there too without missing much. The quality is pretty consistent for years, although I think they are starting to run out of ideas. It's still funny though.

I was fully prepared to say to skip ahead to where Frank's character is fully achieved (which is probably when they stop calling him "dad" and he turns into a gremlin man). But then I realized that's at the end of S2, which also has insanely strong episodes like Dennis and Dee Go on Welfare and Hundred Dollar Baby, so you might as well watch S2. And S1 is only 7 episodes long, so why the hell not. The new seasons are, I think, a little more uneven, but there are absolute bangers in there, and I'm sure its the sort of thing where if you asked 6 people about their favorite episodes from a given season you'd get 6 answers. At this point the show is doing the Archer thing of having these barely functioning human shaped things bounce into each other rather than what I'd call "plots," which is pretty sustainable, as far as these things go.

I feel like the Flanderization has gone too far in Sunny for me to enjoy. Except for Frank. I think really it's mostly Dennis that bugs me in the past couple seasons.

The show reduced their characters to insane cardboard cut outs really quickly - I definitely understand it turning people off of the show, but it happened pretty early. EDIT: While I was typing this, Danny Devito showed up on this Disney Christmas special with the chyron reminding us that he's on It's Always Sunny, and I really like to imagine the crossover between the two. Also, reminder that Sweet Dee is a Disney princess now.

It's actually worse than that. The author, JD Vance, is an ex Republican congressional staffer. It's literal propaganda.

There's no Frank and the tone's a little more stiff, but don't listen to anyone who tells you to skip season 1. There's some classic episodes there (Charlie Has Cancer, Underage Drinking: A National Concern, The Gang Finds A Dead Guy).

Seasons 1-10 are pretty much all killer. Even the lesser episodes can get a good chuckle out of me. I'm partial to "Charlie Work" in s10, probably the best continuous shot I've ever seen on television. They start to do some metacommentary in s11, doing an amnesia episode that does a runthrough of all their prior plot points to emphasize how stuck in place their characters are. Surprising depth for a show about rum hams.

Yeah 11 is the first one that wasn't solid gold and even then you had all-time greats like "Dennis and Mac move to the suburbs". 12 and 13 were more hit or miss, though of course 13 gave us the greatest finale to any season of television ever I actually think 14 was one of the strongest seasons

I literally show the Christmas episode to anyone wondering what the show is about. If they can handle the nihilism, try "The Gang Broke Dee". If they're still onboard, it's all good  Oh, and I watched Underwater and apparently never heard about the big bad. That was a neat easter egg kicking up a so-so monster movie. Shame is the movie had the bones and set pieces to be really the best of its breed, but the directing is flat. Kristen Stewart's default morose glumness saps away some good scenes.

It hits every cliche, but if you're looking for a warm holiday film with lowkey conflict, and a few chuckles, can't go wrong watching Happiest Christmas with a bottle of wine. quote:Underwater, however, gets five farts just for the visuals. It's alien in the ocean and even though it has TJ Miller... don't worry. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. But yeah, the visuals, it was so dark that I couldn't really tell what was going on. Could make a fun Kristen Stewart double header. Two adequate movies.

If you’re talking about Happiest Season with Kristen Stewart, the MacKenzie Davis character is pretty irredeemable in how she treats her live-in partner.

Over the top, ridiculous violence much like the late 80s action movies. When I heard Expendables was coming, I was so loving amped. Then it came out. PG-13. Neutered violence. Nothing near Rambo, where he literally grabbed a giant gun and shot a guy into hamburger helper
