The season 14 revival of the show was actually decent.
spoiler
In one episode, Hank's teen-aged half-brother invites him to attend one of the new 'alpha male' right wing training camps. The camp leader is a satire of Andrew Tate. Hank naively agrees to attend the retreat, believing that it will teach traditional conservative value, similar to boy scouts. Hank does not like the 'alpha male' camp. He tells the camp something like that they have toxic masculinity because they are insecure and misogynistic. He makes the brother leave the camp. Hank decides that the proper way to teach his half-brother to be masculine is by helping him restore an old car.The political commentary is interesting and contemporary, without feeling forced or exaggerated. Hank is a flawed character; he rejects extreme right wing politics but still is a conservative himself. The show has felt like it presents a good-right-winger vs bad-right-winger dynamic, for many seasons.
I like that season 14 ended on a cliffhanger. This is a trope that the show has followed since the beginning. I believe that they did this so that they can secure funding for the next season due to demand. The finale of Season 2 (1998) also had a massive cliffhanger ending, the same for Season 3. This detail makes me feel like the show is returning to its roots.
Mike Judge is one of a very small number of people who's figured out how to do the "twenty years later revival" of an old show.
Judge got away with reviving Beavis and Butthead twice. He truly cracked the formula.
It was a really good season for a show brought back 20 years later but god damn bobby fucked up with willow
bobby relatable af for that ong
