10 Best It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia Episodes

1. Charlie Work

The Nightman Cometh
FX

From a creative standpoint, this episode easily wins, due to a focus on one of the most popular characters, fast-paced joke delivery, and a continually moving narrative that throws out many surprises. It was ambitious and displayed the film-making skill that the Always Sunny crew have gained working in the industry.

In these 20 minutes, we are shown Charlie navigating and organising the gang to achieve multiple goals. His primary focus is passing the bar's health inspection, with the second being a scam worked up by the others, which could quickly destroy his perfect health inspection record.

Designed and crafted to feel like a continuous take, we follow Charlie as he rushes around organising everything. The episode's timing and execution are pitch-perfect and show us a side of the character that we have never seen before. Even the audience didn't quite know the amount of skill and pride that he has in his work.

Fans and critics alike look forward to seeing more of the gang. They still have all the charm that the show began with, but the budget to create almost whatever they want. The quality of these episodes proves why the show remains one of the most popular sitcoms of all time.
