The King of Season 14 is amazing. Like the original series, it feels both timeless and momentous, blending brilliant humor with plain wisdom with keen social commentary and characters who feel like they live and like a mature growth. Revival Capital shines on its soft reset (a few years after the series finale) and makes creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels and new performer Saladin Patterson compatible with what they hope in: expanding grace and projecting their sense of humor and moral sense of humor for ignorance and difficult to fulfill.
In essence, King of Hill has been learning to adapt to an increasingly unrecognizable world. Whether it is days, months, or in the case of hills, in Saudi Arabia's compound for several years, you can get out of our world from ours. Indeed, after returning to Arlen, Hank and Peggy (Judge and Kathy Najimy, reprimanding their respective roles) could hardly recognize the place. Dell (Toby Huss), who replaced the late Johnny Hardwick, became mayor for 36 hours and then denied his own election results, is one of the most interesting developments in the revival. Then there is Arlen as a physical, variable place. It was illegal to turn around and suddenly go on the street outside the alley near Hank. Restaurant bathroom sign blurred gender line. Everything is reversed and Hank doesn't want anything to do with it.

People are also confused about Hank endlessly, and this is where the show really digs out and has fun. He said of Page's lasagna, “I want to distribute the meat piece.” Society is moving faster than Hank judged, meaning he can only stay here after he realizes that beer is no longer beer, and the elasticity-elastic holes of the neighborhood are common. It is through these struggles that showmen weave their remarks in the status quo, and it is this comment (like in the original run, wit and keen attitude, all filled with heart and patience – helping the King of the Mountain to regain its place in the smartest, cutest animated scenes.
Like nearly every success story, the King of the Mountain is not half the cultural behemoth without characters, and it is more real than ever. Dale directs every scene he’s in in all his funny and problematic glory, his rampant paranoia plays the best moments of the season and reminds us how easy it is to love and hate him. Earlier, he decided to “help” Hank kidnap a judge's dog and position Hank as the savior of the poor puppy, winning an autonomous match against Bobby. Of course, Husseth couldn't fully capture the nasal sound of the characteristics of Hardwick's position in those characters, but he got so ridiculous material throughout the process that the change wasn't as distracting as before.
Najimy is positive and dazzling here. Page still remains a scourge of kindness for linguists and non-English speakers, namely, explicitly slaughtering pronunciations and rejecting ideas that she might be totally wrong, and none of that, because Najimmy wouldn't miss a beat.
Then there is Bobby, whose writing and performance are so perfect – closely related to his 12-year-old self – that it's hard not to have to blink because his antics are a young man. Adlon's character is the highlight of King of Hill, and this new season only reinforces the importance of her revenge. Bobby's voice didn't change, nor did he tend to think loudly and shaky random comments. Yet he still looks and behaves like an adult, running a kitchen in a German-Japanese fusion restaurant in Dallas, showing a work ethic that makes his father proud. However, it is predictable that adulthood has made Bobby’s dynamics more complicated, Hank, who is still ideologically closed, while his son sails through the world with an open mind and mind.
Crucially, this has always been important to keep them likable – hills are often as quick as judgement. Hank and Peggy have been sly to imitate how to set it up in their own way without being bad for others, and this has always been one of the most resonant collections on the hill. Bobby's girlfriend Willow is a particularly delicate challenge for Hank, who is surprised by Hank's cruelty, straightforwardness and total reluctance to fit the box he assigned to her. She offended almost every one of his five senses, every moment they spent together was a wonderful time of willow and absolute hell. True to his way, he did not treat her badly. He found a common foundation with her and did so if you want them to be paradigms.
Even if you don't know them, keep emphasizing the heart, even if you don't know them, Season 14 of the Mountains will go from a satisfying revival to a surprising masterpiece. The beloved animated sitcom is as good as ever and, if lucky, will mark the beginning of a new golden age for Hill Family.
