Featured review
Should have stopped while they were ahead
Whatever the creator's problems with Hinson were, this attempt to restart the show stands only as a testament to the fact that Squidbillies does not work without the original voice of Early Cuyler.
Regardless of your feelings on Hinson's political views, his voice is inimitable and without it the main character fails to carry the show as he once did.
The writers also appear to be trying to overcorrect for the debacle that instigated the recasting by making the storylines all service the ideology of wokeness.
Gone is the silly and good natured ribbing of hillbilly culture.
In its place are some downright mean and preachy plot points, seemingly designed exclusively to denigrate certain segments of American society.
What reason beyond perhaps greed the creators had for trying to keep this show going without its star I cannot say.
One thing, however, is certain; they would have been better off quitting while they were ahead.
This return to the North Georgia mountains is simply tainting the legacy of a once great show.
