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.

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.

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+ :-)

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!

This is the kind of television you can enjoy if you afford it a lot of goodwill. It made me laugh twice, which is more than most shows these days, but it's not like the heights of the show back in the day.

What I will say though is that it's becoming very clear that Trey and Matt feel pretty nostalgic about the earlier seasons, and for what it's worth, I think that's a good thing. They clearly have respect for what made South Park good in the first place and they want to honor that.

I think the problem comes with the fact that these meta-narratives are getting a little rediculous. This feels like something a talented fan fiction writer would make and feel proud of themselves about, but not an actual South Park episode.

I think it's getting clear that these characters might be getting a little thin for now. Honestly, focusing on the adult versions of these characters and their families seems like it's becoming more and more of an essential development.
