South Park The Streaming Wars

The third Paramount+ special trades pandemic gloom for drought farce: a ManBearPig caused water shortage has Denver rationing, and Steve Black discovers he can sell his stream to the city reservoir, which quickly turns into a subscription streaming service, boats of water sent downstream to paying customers, while water park owner Pi Pi lurks with his own recycling scheme. Cartman's battle with his mother over breast implants as an investment strategy is the special's engine, and Talnua Cussler's golf course compound looming over the abandoned hot dog stand gives the kids a genuinely new antagonist setup.

South Park: Post Covid: The Return of Covid

The direct sequel three weeks later sends the adult boys back in time to stop the pandemic before it starts, and the results split into two tones that mostly fuse. The future half is a bleak joke about how little anyone learned, while the past half gets to reunite the kids and ask the show's oldest question in a new way: what if Cartman had grown up kind? The answer is the most sincere thing South Park has aired in years, and it plays the emotional card with real control.

South Park: Post Covid

The first of the Paramount+ exclusive events jumps forty years into a future where the pandemic finally ended, everyone got older, meaner, and sadder, and the boys stopped speaking to each other. Stan sells insurance, Kyle is a lonely counselor, Cartman found God and spends his life rabbi cringe comedy, and Kenny became the scientist whose death pulls everyone back to South Park for one last attempt at fixing the world.

Taskmaster

Alex Horne invented a joke task for the Edinburgh Fringe, Greg Davies agreed to play the tyrant judge, and the result became the best comedy panel show on television. Five comedians per series attempt absurd tasks, bring an item to the studio, destroy a cake in the most creative way possible, camouflage themselves in a field, and Greg awards points based on a combination of rules adherence and his own arbitrary whims. That is the whole show, and it has produced a decade of television funnier than nearly anything scripted.

Colin From Accounts

The premise is a perfect sitcom engine: Ashley and Gordon, two flawed, funny strangers in Sydney, are brought together when a spontaneous car moment leads to them hitting and jointly caring for an injured dog they name Colin. The dog is the McGuffin; the show is about two people who keep choosing each other despite every sensible reason not to. Real life married couple Harriet Dyer and Patrick Brammall write and star, and the chemistry is not acted, it is just documented.

Best Medicine

FOX's American remake of Doc Martin transplants the grumpy surgeon to the fishing village of Port Wenn, and the results are exactly as mixed as every transatlantic comedy transplant before it. Josh Charles plays Dr. Martin Best, a brilliant Boston surgeon who flees to the small coastal town where he spent childhood summers, only to discover he has developed a phobia of blood, which is a problem for a country doctor. The premise survives the move; the tone is the question.
