Squidbillies (TV Series) One Man Banned (2021) User Reviews

Now a great disservice to two actors...

[FredTurd · 9 November 2021]

Unknown Hinson, who IS the de facto voice of character Early Cuyler - the anti-hero of the show, will sorely be missed.

Yes, Adult Swim could have jumped into a cold opening of Early's offscreen death and introduced a completely new character that could have lasted for years, but somebody decided to replace him with Tracy Morgan as a lame attempt in making a short-lived/one-season political statement.

If Adult Swim and Hinson ultimately could not reconcile, they should have just canceled the show outright. Two tentacles/thumbs down.

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.

Another great show shot to hell

I can't believe these guys have ruined this show. What a horrible casting choice to replace Unknown. Preachy and just down right terrible. Remember when we lived in a free country where we had freedom of speech without having to be destroyed? Good luck with your preachy s**t show now.
