Mr. Birchum. The first episode.


I’m not avid in watching episode by episode of any animated TV series, which presents as a comedy. I can watch by accident or take a needful attention as I saw that joking on contemporary US presidents in old episodes of The Simpsons are sweet and not antagonistic with no matter either he is from the Republicans or the Democrats. The modern ones are hostile and hateful to Donald Trump and it becomes propagandist in moment when Homer Simpson is going to vote and his daughter inclines on why he shouldn’t choose Trump and around of them are going lines of did only bad (and almost all is far-fetched.) under this administration. Family Guy wasn’t so offensive to then leader of the White House when Peter Griffin gets job in Washington and does wonderful roasting. Nevertheless, a political view of protagonist depends on network which broadcasts as he horrifies when Obama was elected when show was on Fox and he kisses his portrait after Family Guy became in control of Disney. However, hate of authors and propaganda in demonstration as support of abortion and despise to Texans whereas presented as “finest alumni” of Harvard University shows portraits of Ted Cruz, Steve Bannon, Jared Kushner and ends on terrorist Ted Kaczynski for which last Stewie Griffin apologizes for inclusion what exposes authors, because it’s confirmation of radical support. All these far-left people can’t stand opposite views by expressing hate. And this thing devours them and ruins their shows. The Simpsons and Family Guy had joking on society in aim, but they evade topics which can bring serious controversy as one of that is political correctness whereas it is a great object, which itself as phenomenon is requiring of roasting. But these shows do propaganda of pathology. Partially, their evasion in fear. Just because somebody can raise hysteria. That was in past for which the involved people sometimes apologize. Hank Azaria “suddenly” after thirty years discovered that his voicing of Indian personage Apu in The Simpsons is offensive – that was his greatest joke. Nevertheless, alternative exists and it’s South Park, which occasionally gives a good social commentary and satirize on modern times as prominent became an episode with Kathleen Kennedy’s managing of Lucasfilm (and her reaction, as enemy of freedom speech, was in wish that piece didn’t exist.), but show frequently takes extreme by making not the finest humor, which is vulgarity. I did clicking with aforementioned episode, which wasn’t funny and far, as usual, from greatest satires. However, South Park becomes not only one. The Daily Wire presents Mr. Birchum, which takes full attention on modern vices and has goal of bantering on what nobody other dare to do it.

 

I had rare laughs. Mr. Birchum’s usual is pointing on that should be funny. It lists modern pathology till see recreation of reality instead become roasting of it. Characters say for what intends to be a joke and that frequently out of situation for just say it what gives an awkward look. No naturalness as well as no life. The world of Mr. Birchum positions is adequate reality and not absurdity what makes impossible to perceive situations such as a titular hero grabs student’s smartphone and throws it into some kind of wood shredding machine. The show doesn’t find a vector.

There were jokes with potential while they are dry lemon in presentation. Roseanne Barr is the one who can laugh even by saying a simple phrase but she isn’t much and has no opportunity for show her comedian magnificence. I saw her in a clip from other episode which on discovery of fake veteran and that saying on Canada was very good.

 

Cast doesn’t save though acting is all right. Among them a brilliant journalist Megyn Kelly who doesn’t consider herself as an actress, but I would describe she isn’t professional in that, because her occupation requires sometimes performance in which she forged and therefore she has a wonderful background what makes her acting in Mr. Birchum is good and, I believe, she will improve if will carry on to participate.

A single failure in Brett Cooper who mostly isn’t convincing though she does same in her Daily Wire’s program by showing same unnatural disgust reaction on far-left or around video, which she saw before but wants to make to believe that she does it at first time.

 

A brilliant and pleasant for eyes job was made by animators. It’s one aspect in which Mr. Birchum defeats other shows and has equal with Family Guy. The Simpsons’ drawing always causes depression by colors, design of personages and surroundings. South Park began and stayed in absolutely children quality (oh, those pillar walking of characters.) and it’s destitute in good colors.

 

I watched clips from the other episodes, which aren’t different and corroborate initial skepticism. I don’t see that I should continue.
