Y'all rating this episode one star have literally no critcal thinking skills and are basing your opinions entirely in misogyny. The writers of this show have always been feminist and liberal but yall cant read in between the lines lmao
I know it has some of the least good humour in the show BUT it is way better and smarter than any sitcom episode also rated 6.7. Just because this show raises such a high bar, doesn't mean ok episodes have to be given such low scores.
One of the few episodes in the entire series that just falls short of to the typical standard of quality that Always Sunny usually reaches.
I commend them for trying new ideas, and in some ways it worked well; but overall everything just felt off. A lot of the jokes felt forced, and the characters just don't seem to work as well together as the typical gang we're used to. The obvious message of "women are equal to men" came across as a bit too preachy, which is out of place for this show considering they've covered much more controversial topics without bringing out that same feeling.
Overall, this episode was alright. Some good parts, some bad parts. Nothing particularly special or memorable.

Lots of laughs, all the women bounced off each other hilariously. Was fun seeing the return of some older characters and the cameos from the guys. Kaitlin Olson was incredible as per and such a joy to watch.
It's a good parody and critique on female reboots of media that originally starred men. It wasn't a brilliant episode but the ladies of the show are always great, and Katlin Olsen is always hilarious.
But women can't win even when they're generally agreeing with an angry male audience. It hit all the topics and tropes of these kinds of reboots and basically made it clear that even women often don't appreciate the pandering and would appreciate their own things.
So the panning of the episode makes me think it often really does come down to a feeling that "the icky girls are trying to steal our things!" Even when they're telling you you're right they're still wrong.
Though tbf, I guess in the end it is a less funny version of a classic episode and the concept is very on the nose so it probably urks people more and it's what keeps me from reviewing this higher, even though I think that was the point.

- TriviaFirst episode not to feature Dennis.
- GoofsIn the beginning of the episode the Flight Attendant (The Waiter) recognizes Dee and queries why she doesn't recognize him from the restaurant in Philly. He also mentions that he was their waiter during the Super Bowl in Minnesota. This has not happened yet in the season and suggests that the episodes are either not in a chronological timeline or the episodes were re-arranged from their original structure. However, in the opening subtitle of both episode 8 "Charlie's Home Alone" and episode 9 "The Gang Wins the big game", it says the episode took place 1 year earlier correcting the timeline and predating "The Gang Beats Boggs: Ladies Reboot.
