I must admit I am a South Park fan. I have been enjoying the
series since season one. Sometimes I try to watch it on hulu but I must admit I
have to have more interest watching things through physical media. I have had
season 18 of the series for a long time but it has been shelved for other
things. I still don’t know how this series is continuing to go and how they can
charge anyone $30 for 10 episodes.
This season seems to be more together than the others. This
series starts off with a strange take on Crowd funding and then an even
stranger take on the Musician Lorde which ends with a social commentary on
video game commentary and the final issues with Lorde.
This season it feels different as the episodes are all
connected on some level or another. The storylines in the beginning are ever
present in some level even through to the end of the season. I have to give it
this for storytelling. I did really see a few gems in this season. South Park
is usually hit or miss overall and I must admit the hits were really on point.
I really thought that the commentary on Gluten, drones and commentary are all
very good. The best by far this season was the commentary on Freemium games
that caught my attention the most. I have to say it was very accurate and in
their own style hit it right on the head. This season is one of those that has
more good episodes than the bad.
Oh we had some bad and the bad was hard to watch. Their
commentary on Gender neutral bathrooms was confusing at best making it really
hard to see where they were coming from (which can also be the case). I have to
say in the end the worst of all was the “Cock Magic” episode. This went beyond
social commentary and became something terrible and very much disgusting…they
really needed to put the joke down and not have Randy expose himself to a party
full of kindergarteners. I don’t know about anyone else but isn’t South Park
getting much shorter season wise. I mean 10 episodes?!
In the end this is another short but very good overall
season of the show. I don’t feel it is worth the money for the content but if you
can find it for around $10 like I did this would be a good watch.
