Netflix’s Trailer Park Boys: The Animated Series Season Two Review

Although it may not be exactly what fans have been hoping for, the world’s three favorite greasy Scotians Julian, Ricky and Bubbles are back in town with the latest season of Trailer Park Boys: The Animated Series. Picking up from season 12 of the original series, the boys are still high as ever on psilocybin mushrooms as they trip balls in an animated world they seem to have found themselves stuck in. After a mixed first season of the animated spin off, the boys have clearly shown they know what they’re doing as this season brings some of their wackiest adventures to date.

Starting off with a bang with one of the most creative and smartest episodes in the entire Trailer Park Boys franchise, the episodes get increasingly crazy as the season went on. This fact is something interesting for viewers to keep in mind seeing that as the series is now animated rather than filmed live, the sky’s the limit in terms of the possibilities of where it can go. This was most evident with our two favorite idiots Corey and Jacob as in many episodes throughout the season, they absolutely steal the show. Across those episodes, the duo manage to break bones, drink paint, and find themselves in much more bizarre situations. While some episodes may feel a little less fun than others, in the end, each episode of this season of Trailer Park Boys: The Animated Series is still well worth checking out.

What will surely surprise many is for a low budget franchise such as the Trailer Park Boys, the animation in the animated series is stellar. Each character is animated with great detail and are voiced by the original cast of Robb Wells, John Paul Tremblay and Mike Smith who all brought their A-game as Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles respectively. Meanwhile, one iconic character that may be on a lot of people’s minds however is probably John Dunsworth’s  drunk trailer park supervisor Mr Jim Lahey who has appeared on the series from the beginning until his tragic passing in 2017. To set the record straight, Mr Lahey is still present in this season in one way or another. Perhaps this is why the series has turned to animation because it has created the opportunity to maintain the legacy of this very important character. However, a permanent shift to animation has not been officially confirmed as of yet as a new live action season is still in the books for later this year.

At the end of the day, season 2 of Trailer Park Boys: The Animated Series is a hell of a fun time. But despite this, nothing will ever come close to the OG live action Trailer Park Boys and hopefully we will get that aforementioned new season of that sooner rather than later. However in the meantime, this season is sure to keep fans satisfied and whispering Deeeecent.
