South Park should perhaps stick with doing standalone episodes

TV Guide

"Season 22 was 40 percent serialized and 60 percent standalone, and both types of storytelling were uneven," says Liam Mathews. He adds: "Season 22 was less successful, with the light serialization making it feel overstuffed and under-focused. It sometimes had the feeling of 'this isn't quite working, so let's add something else in and see if that helps.' South Park always has so many ideas that carrying them across episodes makes the show feel chaotic, like there's just too much going on. It's enough to make one yearn for the simpler times when maybe there was one three-part episode every now and then."  ALSO: South Park tried to do too much with its season finale Amazon takedown.
