I never watched "It's Always Sunny" so I can't compare other than I know that at least one actor is from that show. However, I'm a huge Silicon Valley fan and hoped this would be similar.
It is in some ways, but it's also often more over-the-top style comedy like I've seen in shows like Corner Gas. I generally don't like those kind of shows (didn't like Corner Gas) but this show has so much going for it, I still really enjoyed it!
There are a couple episodes that don't take place with the usual cast: I think S01E05 that involves a completely unrelated story. IT'S AMAZING! It's like a really good short movie and could easily have been a series on it's own. WOW.
The Quarantine episode was very good and a big hit with most fans. But also in S02E06 is a backstory episode that is just incredible as well.
I find the show to be a bit uneven in it's storytelling. Most of the time the humour is a bit over the top, but sometimes they have really compelling stories that draw you in with amazing writing.
I am really hoping for a season 3 because shows like this tend to only get better with age as characters develop.
Season 2 ended in a way that could easily have closure if not renewed. But also, Season 2 ended in a way that could make Season 3 a really interesting one if we are so lucky to have it.
Edit: Season 3 was made! However, it really falls flat compared to the first two seasons and a lot of it has to do with rewriting the characters because of wokeness.
The 2 black female characters that had no power and were not talented at all suddenly in season 3 became the most powerful in the company. Also, all the male leads who had a lot of character and power were mostly stripped of all their masculinity and became aimless and secondary.
The literally bragged about how they removed as many white males as possible and replaced them with "people of colour"... how racist is that?! Whatever happened to the Martin Luthor quote of "I dream of a day when people are judged not by the colour of their skin, but the strength of their character".
I stuck around to watch Season 3 but it was definitly a drop from 8/10 for the first couple seasons to maybe a 6/10 for season 3.
