Trailer Park Boys: Jail

I was very pleasantly surprised. It introduced a couple good side characters. But it was mainly the ricky, julien and bubbles show. The prison aspect for something new was good. Much better than their attempts at doing recorded live shows n such. I never got into them. It's a solid 7.5 and compared to most crap comedies out these days its a 10/10. It took me 4 eps to start really getting into it. Not sure why some other reviewers somehow expect this to be like earlier seasons... The series isn't as good as it was then and probably never will be, but for the most part its still decent and sometimes just as classic as the old ones for some moments. Try being a little more open minded and compare what the boys are still doing with the majority of crud being produced now.

Lazily written and poorly acted, Trailer Park Boys JAIL is such a poor relation to the high points of this franchise the boys are at risk trampling their legacy. Within the TPB universe there were serious concerns about the ability of the show to truck on after the passing of John Dunsworth, given that he did most of the heavy lifting in the acting department. In his absence, JAIL, which is the first series in many years not on Netflix (appearing on their own streaming service Swearnet) has relocated the boys from the Park to the Prison but the lack of interesting supporting characters (the show always thrived with the likes of JRoc, Lahey and Randy and Barb) really shines a light on the inability of Wells and Tremblant as Ricky and Julian to carry the franchise on their own. Rush's Alex Lifeson and Terry from FUBAR (David Lawrence) try hard and have a couple of funny moments but overall you can see why Netflix weren't interested.

This series is great! It's hilarious. Can't wait for more!

What made TPB great was about serving the dish, while keeping all characters in the right dosage. Little bit of randy, a sparkle of Lucy, a few shots of Mr. Lahey, throw some Sam lasco in, some Phil colins, some ray, teaspoons of jayrok and t, mix some Sarah moment, caesar bits, and mix it with lot of Juliann, Richie , and bubbles, compare to that this dish has all the main ingredients , but kind of tasteless and lame. It look also like they run after ideas after few episode, and just improvised something for the rest. I don't know if that's the reason it is not on Netflix, because there are worst stuff showing there. I suspect the main reason was the luck of diversity , and no women, unlike in previews seasons (its mostly white men series).

Compared to the earlier seasons of TPB this cant compete at all.
