Episode Summary & Review
Summary
After slipping into an unhealthy obsession with computer games, The Gang wrestles to define the difference between the real and the virtual worlds.
Our Take
The gaming obsession premise had potential, but the video game scenes mostly consist of the gang yelling at screens, which gets old fast. Charlie’s escalating power trip has a few good moments, and the online avatar subplot lands some solid jokes. A middling episode that coasts on Charlie’s energy without giving the rest of the gang much to do.
