Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Frank offers the gang his political wisdom, which unsurprisingly involves bribery. Then Dennis decides to run for office himself.
Our Take
A tight half hour of political satire that plays perfectly to the gang’s worst instincts. Dennis running for office is a natural fit for his ego, and Frank’s greasy backroom dealings generate most of the laughs. It’s not the season’s boldest episode, but the jokes land consistently and Charlie’s enthusiasm steals a few scenes. Worth your time if you’re already along for the ride.
