It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia: Every Season Ranked Worst To Best (So Far)

14. Season Thirteen

The problem with Sunny's thirteenth season is easy to spot, and it all comes down to the absence of Glenn Howerton's Dennis Reynolds. Without Dennis, the usual banter between the gang seems almost tame in comparison to earlier seasons, and this inconsistency ends up dampening the narrative of the season slightly.

That being said, it's still got splashes of brilliance. Early in the season, the gang tackle Trumpism in "The Gang Makes Paddy's Great Again," and they feel the power of the Me Too movement in "Time's Up for the Gang." There's also the brilliantly old-school "The Gang Escapes", in which they try to get out of an escape room.

Then, of course, there's that finale. In "Mac Finds His Pride", Mac tries to come out to his father, and does so by giving a deeply moving dance routine. It's a great sequence, giving the show it's most heartfelt moment. There are blips, best seen in "The Gang does a Clip Show" and the uninspired Wade Boggs sequel, but all told season thirteen is good TV, simply let down by some maddening inconsistencies.
