South Park- The Pandemic Special

 

8/10

In this new special, the citizens of South Park deal with the various burdens of the coronavirus pandemic. This was enjoyable.

The Pandemic Special is classic South Park: funny, crazy satire. The one hour length allowed director/writer Trey Parker tackle all the aspects of the pandemic. (Not to mention a jab at the police situation.) As outrageous as things get, Parker is clearly trying to help people blow off steam from this horrible mess. The ending is probably one of the most poignant moments the show has ever gotten.

Now, this is also "typical" South Park. I wouldn't say this episode is considered one of the show's standouts.

Also, if you like South Park but sometimes it goes too far for you, this is one of those episodes that gets messed up.

Overall, I recommend this.
