The thing about the first season is that it's a perfectly adequate (short) season for a decent enough FX TV show and it would probably be worth revisiting from time to time, but once the rubber hits the road when Danny Devito shows up, there's no looking back.

Prism Mirror Lens posted:Charlie is extremely pathetic. My parents are still catching up on the show and my mum spends every episode wringing her hands and saying "oh, poor little Charlie!" That's why Frank works so well though, he's the only one who actually plays nice with Charlie and tries to help him when he's getting poo poo on by everybody else. He is, but then you get to an episode like Charlie and Dee Find Love, and suddenly you see that he at least knows what he's doing, even if it is maybe delusional. mojo1701a posted:Hang in there.

Yes, it's like a lava lamp.

The high-functioning Charlie episodes are the best ones. "Frank's Little Beauties" is beyond perfect, as is "The Night Man Commith." It's great, because Dee wants to be in show business yet Charlie is the most talented as far as theater is concerned.

I missed all of the last season and I'll probably miss all of the next one too. Worse, I can't find it on Netflix or on Xfinity. It's like someone out there really hates this show and doesn't want people to see it past season 9.

The trend for shows the last few years is to license the previous season out a month before the new season starts. So sit tight.

Prism Mirror Lens posted:The single thing I wish they hadn't kept running with is the implied stuff about Charlie's uncle, which is the only joke I've felt is more just sad than funny (also recasts a lot of Charlie's apparently bizarre idiosyncratic hangups into being kind of tragic). Like its one thing to laugh at an illiterate manchild who stalks women, gets manipulated by all his friends and inadvertently writes rape lyrics, but then you tack that poo poo on and it's like "ok too far, now I just feel sorry for the guy" On the other hand, Nightman is funny as gently caress, BUT NOW I FEEL BAD FOR THINKING SO Are you implying that Charlie got molested by his uncle? Because I never got that vibe at all. I don't recall it being outright stated, and Charlie always seems to rebuff his uncle. He never wants to hang out with him, and it's because he's creeped out by him. If you want to imagine a show where Charlie was repeatedly abused by his molester uncle, wouldn't he show some weird signs of a victim mentality around him? Maybe act afraid or cagey near him? That's way darker of a show than Sunny ever tries to be. I got the impression that Jack, yes, is a freaky weirdo and probably a pedophile (though, to be fair, he never actually molests anyone. You could easily argue that he's a weirdo who likes wrestling with kids and thinks his hands are too small and like "tasteful, artsy pictures", but they've never had him come outright and say "LET'S gently caress SOME KIDS" and that's obviously intentional.) Sunny is a much more lighthearted romp than that. It's just poking fun at weird people, like Jack and the McPoyles and Artemis. If you really watched a fun, cute episode like The Nightman Cometh and couldn't get it out of your head that Charlie's behavior is apparently entirely the result of molestation from a character not even featured in said episode with no hinting or callbacks to said character at all then I kinda feel sorry for you. Even me writing this was too far.

The whole season 1 finale is about Mac and Charlie (not) getting molested so I don't see where you are coming from thinking that that is "too far".

Yeah, it was Seriously though that was my exact problem with it, I don't wanna think about that kind of poo poo in a comedy, that's not fun. I think the best evidence for it being too dark even for a comedy where one of the main characters is a literal sex offender is that everyone writing posts about it including me sounds creepy as gently caress and we should stop doing it.

Okay, so as far as I can tell you got this from the fan wiki, which is obviously fan run. Look, I just don't think it happened. Jack "tried to share (his) room as a kid", and was unsuccessful at it by the sound of things. He's just a weird old dude who may or may not be a pedophile, but they had an entire episode revolving around how Charlie was NOT molested by his gym teacher. Do you really think they'd even imply that his uncle molested him instead? And they would never mention it or really even hint to it at all? I don't know what kind of show you guys want.

It is important that Charlie have been molested because it further positions him as the anti-Dennis. They are both Frank's son and both are as disgusting an individual as Frank but how they are disgusting is orthogonal. Dennis victimizes women, so to maintain the funhouse mirror Charlie is a victim of sexual violence. See, that's humor right there! Situational irony, man.

He would spend the whole night awake making sure that Jack wouldn't molest him... At least thats what Charlie says. The implication is there is that Jack tried to molest him, but Charlie wouldn't let him.

They're not explicit about it because it's not funny. It's why the furthest they've gone with Dennis being a sexual predator is the bit about "the implication" in The Gang Buys a Boat.
