The resulting episode, “Being Frank,” is an entirely POV-lensed day-in-the-life of the eccentric whack-a-mole of an individual, and one that constantly feeds the viewers with strange slices of infrequent narration from Danny DeVito himself in character as Frank Reynolds — a man who is always in a constant state of interchangeable elation, disorientation, disillusion and horniness.
During Season 11, the producers behind It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia gave audiences an answer to a question they might not have asked, “What is it like to live in the mind of Frank Reynolds?”
The result is one of the most surreal, experimental episodes of Always Sunny yet, and a risk that paid off enormously, thanks to great camerawork and DeVito’s performance.
