South Park S21 — Season 21

Yikes, you can just FEEL the pressure of PC culture in the last couple of seasons. They try to make fun of it BUT at the same time conform to it....unfortunately.

South Park attempts to get back to episodic adventures in its twenty-first season. Yet while it’s far less serialized than previous seasons, there are still a couple of ongoing story thread; such as Cartman’s dysfunctional relationship with his girlfriend. And despite their pledge to avoid the low hanging fruit of Trump jokes, Trey Parker and Matt Stone can’t help but to throw some shade his way. The sociopolitical satire continues to be smart and edgy, taking on victim culture, political correctness, and several pop-culture trends. However, they push the raunchiness a little far in a couple of episodes, and if one’s not hip to the current trends, a lot of the humor will fall flat. Season 21 of South Park isn’t that bad, but it’s nowhere near the highs of the early seasons.
