\nSouth Park obsesses over Trump in \u201cSermon on the \u2018Mount\u201d<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
But high viewership doesn\u2019t always mean that great art is being produced. This becomes clear when you look at the rest of Season 27\u2019s audience ratings. The second episode, \u201cGot a Nut,\u201d currently ranks 72nd. The next, \u201cSickofancy,\u201d drops all the way to 246th out of 325, making it one of the worst-reviewed in the series.<\/p>\n
South Park\u2019s<\/em> signature sense of social satire is still dripping from every frame, but Season 27 will continue to see diminishing returns if its creators keep trying to double down on \u201cSermon on the \u2018Mount\u201ds success.<\/p>\nGetting Back To The Playground<\/strong><\/h3>\n\nThere\u2019s still promise, though, because Parker and Stone seem to realize Season 27 needs a course correction in the form of the boys reclaiming South Park. \u201cSickofancy\u201d isn\u2019t a top-tier episode, but it marks a stylistic shift by forcing Randy Marsh to sell Tegrity Farms and move his family back into town after years of mixed fan reception with the story line. With the Marshes back in South Park, Stan is in the neighborhood again and more likely to cause trouble with the rest of the boys.<\/p>\n
Antagonizing the President was fun for a while, but now it\u2019s time to get the boys back on the playground.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
