To date, _**South Park**_'s Paramount+ specials have one thing in common. They all have clever premises, but overstretched to around an hour running time. Like _**Post COVID**_ and _**Post COVID: The Return of COVID**_ specials before it, _**The Streaming Wars**_ has several moments of brilliance. But after all the cards are laid out on the table, it struggles to close the deal. After all the clever build ups, this special ends without a fully articulated message. But I can't say I wasn't entertained, just not up to its past high standards (e.g., Randy Marsh as Lorde).

This is meant to be a comedy, right? Where were the jokes?

I got a few chuckles out of this episode, but it just felt like every joke that was attempted fell flat. Some might say that the episode is metaphor heavy, and you need to be across all the references to "get it" I'm more than familiar with the references, it just wasn't funny. So much so, that I'm not even sure if it's worth the time it takes to watch part 2.

“Mom I want you to get fake tits” Surprised not many people like this special I thought all of it was great. Cartman,Cartman,Cartman this is the guy I remember from early South Park.
