It's a great season in a very clever and funny show. The storylines about trolling, the US presidential election, and nostalgia are incredibly well-written and thought-provoking.
As much as I love the Randy-centric episodes, the storyline with Gerald Broflovski (a lawyer, not a Rabbi), is key to the season's brilliance.
I finished watching
The Outlaws last night on BBC iPlayer. I thought it would be a sitcom with six 30 minute episodes, so was pleasantly surprised when the running time is longer and there was much more drama.
The series, about a group of low-level offenders doing community service, three of whom find a bag full of money acquired, without their knowledge, by another offender in their group, is very well written by Stephen Merchant and Elgin James. The show is very well directed and the entire cast, from established actors like Christopher Walken and Darren Boyd to newcomers Rhianne Barreto and Gamba Cole are well matched to their characters.
