Charlie Sheen's Anger Management on FX

Charlie Sheen is back! And better than ever? Not quite, but hey who can say no to a Charlie Sheen comedy? In this new FX comedy Charlie Sheen is an anger management therapist (I know ironically clever). He has several patients with anger problem who have regular sessions, an EX-wife and daughter and a fellow therapist who he has “unattached” relations with. The bachelor lifestyle of Charlie Sheen is still present but he does seem to be a lot tamer than he was in Two and a Half Men. His “dysfunctionality” is also present, from his wild former baseball career to his need for a psychiatrist despite the fact he is one himself. 

The jokes in this new comedy I have to say are not as funny as what we have to come expect from Sheen; this may be the reason why the viewership dropped 40% after the first week. The first two episodes had massive amounts of hype, his fans wanted to see Sheen’s first job seen ‘Two and a half..’ but Anger Management did not rock any worlds with its brilliance. Like any other comedy I think it needs some time to get on its feet and find its point of appeal (you know besides it having Charlie Sheen in it). The show does reveal massive amounts about the characters in the first three episodes; I feel like I’ve been watching the show for a couple of months not a few weeks. I think the acting is not terrible and the characters are rather interesting, however some of the relationships come across awkward. All in all I want recommend watching a few more episodes of this show to see where it is going, there is still hope it will live up to the works of old Charlie Sheen.


Although the show has yet to produce 'explosions' seen in the teasers it is at least as funny as the new Two and a Half Men (if not more). Rating 6.5/10
