16x01 - "The Gang Inflates" - Discussion Thread
::: spoiler Episode Synopses Dennis and Mac get into inflatable furniture to deal with the economy’s inflation, while Dee tries to find a place to crash after being evicted by her greedy landlord and Charlie wants to pitch Frank his crypto/online investment idea. And in this inflation episode everything gets bigger - Dee’s desperation, Mac’s lips, and even Charlie’s apartment! :::
I enjoyed this episode. It was low stakes and gang focused, which made it feel more like an episode from an early season.
I don’t think the HD format and better lighting fits the show, but it’s not as bad as it could be I suppose.
The lighting and HD made these episodes feel sitcom-ey. I still loved them though.
I've watched this episode at least once a day since Wednesday, I just can't stop laughing every time Mac says anything. I yell "I'm not allergic to nuts!" at least once a day to my partner lol
Frank's story arcs in these topical episodes are always my favorites. He sees the $$ and goes straight for it.
Definitely a return to form (though I've enjoyed every season of the show). I'm glad they lead with this as it made me laugh way more than episode 2. Episode 3 is amazing too btw!
The mac thing was hilarous
