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.

The boys continue their reign of Canadian stoner comedy glory from behind bars in their most recent series. I love everything about this. So many huge laughs and some heart as well. All the performances are still on point. All the people they got back are awesome. Randy, Alex, Corey and Jacob, Tyrone, all get great moments to shine. The writing is brilliant. Bruce McCullough directs with a perfect balance of focus and sillyness. Dave Lawrence from Fubar is awesome to see here. The guards are hilarious. But of course it's all about the insane hijnks the boys get up to behind bars. I can't wait to see what they get up to in season two. This show is much better than the majority of their Netflix episodes. Jaw droppingly funny and wonderfully ridiculous! Enjoy and puff puff pass.

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.

Let's be honest, this show is not as good as the original series. But it is 10 times better than the animated series. I am still laughing constantly, and I think they did a good job.

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