A Boy and a Priest

South Park is back and powerful as ever. This episode was an awesome portrayal on the recent controversy lately on priests.

The episode was sporadically funny. The theme is probably not the greatest because it is already "overused", but it doesnt make the episode bad. I like how they separated the episodes, like they did before season 19. Very exciting about how this season is going to develop!

I loved everything about this episode, absolutely amazing, loved the way it potrayed the catholic church

I felt like the third act worked well and really tied everything together. Also, Randy has a great one-liner in this. However, the first two acts just kinda replayed the same few bits over and over without much variety.

South Park has always been a blend of comedy and satire, but this season the emphasis has been heavily on dark satire while tackling very controversial subjects in a way that only this show can. Obviously there is nothing funny about school shootings or child abuse cover ups, but South Park satirizes our reactions to them and gets laughs out of the absurdity.

The ironic #cancelsouthpark hashtag implies they are going to be pushing the boundaries throughout this season even by their own standards. The show has changed from what it used to be. If you miss the random zaniness of the very early seasons you won't like it, if you appreciate the show's unique ability to skewer our culture then you will enjoy.
