South Park: The Streaming Wars Part 2

Part 2 of "The Streaming Wars" is a return to the earlier days of South Park and the kids. I prefer this over part one and can tell they listened to their viewers opinions after part 1. They do have some kinks to work out, but this was a great hour-long special. Just pour yourself a stiff drink and enjoy the satire. God knows we all need that.

What's the point of repeating the celebrities backing up for pipi+? Being sarcastic? Once would have been enough. There's no fun in it at all and it's way too disgusting.

Tegrity Weed should've been a one- or two- episode thing, but it lasted for years and the idea of this weed thing never make any sense. Many characters had been out-of-character for a long long time, the most terrible ones were Randy and Garrison. Hope to see the whole show get to "normal" soon. I love South Park, I don't want it cancelled, or live on like the recent seasons.

Like the title says. Lately, they've been putting out a bit of garbage material. I will always watch South Park because I'm a loyal die hard fan of the show, but I have to retort that the creators could go back to their roots when every episode took us by surprise, entertained us fully and always kept us guessing the next scene.

Now, I swear, I could tell what was going to happen every time before I even saw it. The show needs to either hire new avant guarde writers that get it, or the creators need to strap on their big boy belts and guide the show in a new direction. I can appreciate the efforts to make new material, and at that, that it can be a very difficult task after so many seasons, but something has to be done, or the show will decline in viewership.

Don't take it from me and judge for yourselves. Watch the darn thing and tell me you weren't left with a hole in your stomach.

I'm continuing to feel that none of these really require the Paramount+ runtime, and are regular episodes worth of material stretched out. But i just adjust my mindset accordingly, i'm watching a "special" episode, and it's not a problem really. Very decent, far from perfect, and not exactly great, but very decent. Randy is gonna be actually himself from this on, i'm so happy!

It's somewhat nonsensical and it relies on literal toilet humor. But it's entertaining and short enough that you don't get too bored by it. It's still a weaker South Park than seasons past and doesn't target as much of the current political climate but it does live up to the premise. Streaming services are helping create lower quality programming to fill their broadcast slots. This is a lower quality than normal for South Park but that could be simply because it's stretched out over 50 minutes instead of a tight 22.
