South Park: The Streaming Wars Part 2

Not overly funny, just appropriately targeted satire at streaming, crypto, and celebrities, especially spot on criticism of streaming services not obtaining talent, especially considering I also watched the abomination that was Netflix Resident Evil also today, no amount of properties are gonna matter without any talent to actually make them good.

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.

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!

I am happy there is also story arc for manbearpig - he deserved it - but I wondered: how did it fit into the story? Will he be back?

It's definitely Pipi+ :-)

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.
