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).
