The quiet little Colorado mountain hamlet of South Park is just like any small town in America. Except there are cow-probing aliens, rabid Turkey outbreaks, and there’s a kid named Kenny who just can’t stop getting killed.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s animated series starring Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny has made the world cackle while stirring up controversy in the process. It’s not The Simpsons, it’s not King of the Hill, it’s not even Family Guy. It’s far raunchier, nastier, in some would argue, funnier than any adult-oriented animated comedy program.
Here’s everything you need to know to stream South Park.
