So I watched the entire season 12 yesterday as I binged it and long story short, I loved it! Season 12 is definitely the best TPB-Netflix season without a doubt (of fuckin' course, in my opinion as apparently a lot on Facebook somehow hate it from what I read on a Reddit post).
The Good:
All of the episodes were well written, directed and acted and the comedy in them was fantastic too. The new actress that replaced Lucy? I'd dare to say she's heaps better than Lucy ever was and Lucy in real life probably isn't too happy reading that fans/viewers are saying it but it's true. Lucy was trashy, shitty and funny at times but she never really hit the spot like the new Lucy 2.0 actress has and she's even so good she makes the scenes so believable!
The Mr. Lahey and Randy scenes were all great and due to John Dunsworth death (Mr. Lahey) it added another layer for people to enjoy watching him on the season as he passed away the same year. Dunsworth message on the after credits really hit the spot for me and he was 100% right.
Now, the boys were all ace on their greasiness as usual but I really liked the Ricky scenes a lot 'cause back in Seasons 10-11 he was kind of an ass doing stupid shit that wasn't even funny or interesting but rather just depressing and downright disappointing.
I ditched buying Seasons 8-11 on DVD but I think I'll be buying Season 12 because it's just that good!
The Bad:
Why the hell did they bring back Candy?! She only appeared in like an episode or two of the first season and then she was never shown on the series ever again.. until the 12th season. And what, she was gonna marry Julian? It makes no sense to bring her back much less marry a guy she hadn't seen for years and only after a few talks they decided to marry? This kinda bugged me. What also annoyed me is that Candy on the trial didn't even try to bend over a bit to go easier on Julian despite their (tiny) romance history.
Only 10 episodes per season just isn't enough which makes me wish they would increase it to at least 13~15 episodes, at the very least.
What the fuck! They ruined the Shitmobile! The Shitmobile was bound to become completely useless on the road but seeing it being turned into a "house" kinda sucked as the Shitmobile is part of the Trailer Park Boys memorable characters and that the boys were always using him (yeah, I just called Shitmobile a 'him' :P) to ride around.
Future Hopes
Since the season finale didn't wrap things up, I expect a Season 13 to be released next year but just like J-Roc and characters that have left the show, they'll surely make it work with the departure of Mr. Lahey but will Randy still be around? I think not, Randy's character worked because he was always with Lahey and they worked together but without him.. it just isn't the same. Cut him off the main series.
Originally, the 7th Season was the final of the original series whereas 8th-12th Seasons were Netflix-produced and where I'm going with this is that I hope whenever they plan on actually ending the series they'll say it ahead of time so that the fans can appreciate it all the ever more. And whenever that final season will be, it'd be great if they could bring back J-Roc and Trevor as cameos since they were such great and funny characters.
