Peak?? Peak was 15 years ago. Sure its good now but it's not 'peak'.
Peak south park is timeless, not rooted in contemporary politics.
South Park has always been rooted in contemporary politics.
There are plenty of episodes not rooted in contemporary politics. I I’d gather to say that a lot of the ones you’re thinking of weren’t politics but current events. But they’re point is that the peak South Park eps are timeless. Ex. Imaginationland.
yeah it was in the background but the focus was on kids doing ridiculous shit. now the focus is just on the issues first and then use the kids to get their point across. Honestly, they're clearly still capable of writing great stuff, but the praise for this special is way overblown, it just confirmed how most Redditors already think.
This was the exact complaint I had about the show and got downvoted for it here before the new special dropped. I thought Panderverse was hilarious though, I'm not complaining for now
Yeah, I'm honestly perplexed by that person's claim.
AWESOM-O is one of my favorite episodes of all time. Season 8 and I don’t remember much politics in it at all
