Series 1 alway missing Frank

This was supposed to be episode 1 . I think even though the current episode 1 really has no introduction to the characters. It was a wise choice not to start here, a hard subject and the treatment of Charlie could get you to dislike the gang if that how it started. They put the best episode first a wise move. For me it does not really begin until series 2 These episode are all missing a small piece of the puzzle and until he arrives it's not really all that sunny.
