South Park: Seasons 21-25 Blu-ray revew

Jul 03, 2023- Permalink

Paramount Home Entertainment has just released a South Park: Seasons 21-25 box set which assembles the previously released seasons and I had a chance to look. The set, which does not contain the Post COVID Special, has Cartman, Kyle, Stan and Kenny dealing with everything from vaping to immigration, social media and the pandemic.

The 1080p AVC encoded digital transfer is presented in a 1.78:1 aspect ratio. The video presentation looks great with the 2D animation full of colour and sharpness in the lines. The colour palette is bold and bright. Though there might be some occasional colour banding, the presentation os free of digital noise and compression artifacts.

On the audio side of things, you have the choice of an English Dolby TrueHD 5.1 soundtrack and English Dolby Digital 2.0 track. Subtitles are available for English SDH. It’s a nice soundtrack with dialogue mostly centred in the mix and environmental effects populating the surrounds. Music is clear and dynamic.

The eight-disc Blu-ray set does not come with a digital code. There are some extras including audio commentaries, pop-up trivia, concept art and deleted scenes.

Fans of the series will be pleased by the audio and video presentation as well as the collection of extras. If you don’t already own the individual seasons, you’ll want to add South Park: Seasons 21-25 to your collection.
