As always, Sunny makes you enjoy an episode but not think is good enough until you watch a second time and realize it was very good. I've never understood why and how this process happen, but it happened with several episodes to me. First watch - Ok. Second watch - How did i think that was only ok? It was hilarious! I think everything happens too fast and theres no time to process or really appreciate all jokes and subtleties.
Even season 13 which i agreed with everyone who thought it was weak has grown on me heavily, and now i only think 2 or maybe 3 episodes are a bit weak, the rest being Sunny high quality standard. Anyway, this is good stuff and you can never trust your first impression with a Sunny episode. They are made to have rewatch value.

Not as bad as season 13, not as great as the other seasons

It was an ok episode.
Not as bad as season 13, not as great as the other seasons.
I like that Dennis has returned.
I miss the old insecure Mac with his high-pitched voice. He is like almost a completely new stable character with a deep voice.
I miss the fast editing "10 jokes in a minute" style and the characters cutting each other off mid-sentence. The show has become much slower.
7/10

A 23 minute ep took me 40 mins to watch

The amount of times I hit the rewind button on this episode was way too high. This episode truly embodied the classic sunny feel. I might've added a couple years to my lifespan due to how much I laughed during this ep. I never want this show to end.
WOW GLENN!!!!

Smart and still superfunny

Warning: Spoilers
Charlie illiteracy continues as he mistakes 'meet cute' for 'meat cube'.
Mac is romantically imaginative but still a degenerate.
Frankenstein is, well frank.
Dee tries to bang a guy from hardware store.
Dennis has lost his MOJO.
The season premiere is filled with references which are subtle as they aren't shoved in the face except for the 'Pretty woman' one. Dee says " Nowadays men cannot control.." and the camera cuts which was some good editing. Glenn howerton's direction was quite satisfying as he didn't disturb the tone of the show keeping it surprising and funny.The story was written by Charlie day and Rob mcelhenney was same as every milestone 'sunny' plot. Finally I hope these qualities must be realized by the Emmys. I also hope to be surprised at the season 14 finale as I was at the season 13 finale.

Cringe worthy

What a way to start their 14th season! This made me laugh and cringe through out. I actually was embarrassed for them while watching this episode. It's about time you guys came back with new episodes. I hope the family reappears this season.
Good start to a new season

At this point you can just have the show with frank n charlie.. i still cant wrap my head around jacked mac.. what made his character so funny was him always thinking he was a big tough security guy and he wasnt at all.. and nobody is getting wasted anymore and that needs to change!
Good episode in a poor season
tomasbrice28 January 2020
Huge fan of its always sunny! Unfortunately this season has been been a bit of a disappointment for me personally. I would say there are 3/4 good episodes out of the 10 and this is one of them! After watching it for the second time it became ever funnier with some really clever moments; one of the only times the meta style humour of its always sunny in this season legitimately works

Men are not in-charge anymore! Men don't get to decide what women get to d....
Cpt_JackSparrow27 September 2019
I gave this episode a 9 rating for this joke alone! If you don't know what I'm talking about, you need to go back and watch the episode and see how the scene just abruptly cuts off while Dee is still talking!
These guys have ALWAYS been comedic geniuses poking fun at everything and everyone. No ONE is safe, not liberals, not conservatives, not women, not men and I'm hoping not anyone from the alphabet community but I have yet to see them poke fun at those guys. That's right, I said at those "guys". Which doesn't mean just men, it's a slang term which means people in general where I come from. So you lefty SJW's can calm down.
I can only imagine in the current political climate and social justice era we are in, we are going to get absolute comedy gold from the cast of Sunny!

The Mac and Dennis storyline is just horrible...
nikoxome15 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
The moment that the woman starts crying I knew that Teddy was her kid and the guys are being completely dense and inappropriate...I laughed at offensive things like blackface or gay jokes, because they were done right, but there is nothing comedic about this 'punchline' and it got zero laugh out of me.
As for Charlie and Frank, they whole thing is just predictable, and without the elements of surprise, it was nothing.

Great start. Got me excited

I don't usually write reviews. But I had to after this premier. Last season wasn't the best. But things looks good so far for this season. I laughed alot during this ep. And for some reason at the end I kinda felt a lil heart felt too ahhahah. This show kicks ass.. good directorial debut for Glen Howerton
Good stuff

Not very funny
RainingJss18 October 2019
Glenn has completely forced his role and looks like he has simply given up and sold his soul for the cash. Give it up, you fools are making a mockery of the show now. They pissed all over a top 5 show all-time with these terrible story lines the last couple seasons.
Everyone should be fired after this one. Turn off the lights and call it a rap. It was a good run but please no more. This is going to be a long hard to watch season for me.
Meta, meta, meta

I'm definitely partial to this sort of episode simply because I love film analysis and meta. And this episode is a GOLDMINE. I had so much fun picking it apart because it is absolutely riddled double meanings and symbolism. And to make it the season premiere? Amazing. Ballsy. A gay, gayass love story, huh.
Glenn's directing was perfect, the music selections were perfect, the chemistry and characterizations were perfect-It was all very sweet and hilarious. Can't imagine a better way to start the season.

Here we go. This is it. It's Always Sunny final chapters. This is the first. Beginning of the end.
What do we got?
The first episode of the fourteenth season is, in part, a throw-back, really back, old-school back, I mean first season back; very cringe-y and always funny for those of us who appreciate awkwardness (The Comeback please come back!).
We follow Mac (helped by Dennis and Dee) trying to create a rom-com story and failing miserably while Charlie and Frank copying Mac actually succeed at it without their knowledge. It's one of those very nonsensical Gang plans destined to go wrong. Their obliviousness to the real world is incredibly satisfying to watch.
The subtle meta is done right. Dennis said he still is the leading man. I believe him. He'll be there. For this season he'll be there.
Not much of review, but there's nothing negative; they want to do this, it's the last, there's nothing forced or boring or poorly done; it's pure Always Sunny and I can't help but love every second of it.

Obviously from the beginning
jsom-457954 January 2022
Dennis is clearly psychotic in the last couple seasons but now he's acting normalish? Part of what makes the show great is its unpredictability and characters unwillingness to develope in a good way and this episode demonstrates a loss of understanding that fact.
One of the worst episodes to date
