It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: The Complete Season 8

It’s virtually impossible to explain in words the inspired madness that takes place in each episode of this popular FX series. Reading that Dennis and Dee (Glenn Howerton and Kaitlin Olson) are faced with the moral question of whether or not to pull the plug on their grandfather may make you think the producers are making a message episode. By the time its over – grandfather is a Nazi, Frank (Danny DeVito) is searching for hidden Nazi treasure, Charlie and Mac (Charlie Day and Rob McElhenney) are on the hunt for a missing painting by Adolf Hitler – you have a much better idea what the show is really all about. And it just gets wilder with every episode. The writing is sharp and the dialogue on target, but it’s the perfect timing of the comedic cast, honed by seven previous seasons, that makes following their wacky adventures such a hilarious treat.
