I feel like it was too loosely scripted this time. I love improvisation, but there was no structure here at all. They kept repeating themselves (that damn hunger).
I can't possibly rate it lower than a six though, because I love TPB nonetheless...

shum27 December 2017I enjoyed watching seasons 1 & 2. Not nearly as good as the original, but what can be? It is near impossible to bring back the magic after the original is over (e.g., Arrested Development, Will & Grace, Netflix TPB, etc.)
I won't say that I hate this series, as I found it amusing, especially season 2. However, the one thing that kills this for me is the guy from SwearNet that is in charge of giving The Boys their tasks. Tom Mayhue? Not sure of his name. However, he is such a rank amateur, and such an a**hole, that I find myself having to fast forward through any parts that he is in. And this is not just because he is an a**hole to the boys. He's just the type of guy that has a most punchable face. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why The Boys have not beaten him to a bloody pulp. I would seriously rather have Cyrus giving them their tasks. -
matthijsalexander3 November 2016A whole lot of foul language and stupidity, sometimes that is what one needs. Simplicity. Sit back, switch off the brain and watch ......... nothing.
I had never seen any TPB before, but came across it and gave it a chance. In the first two episodes I kinda felt like the dudes were growing on me and I particularly love the 1-1-cam rants.
I wont be going back in time, since 2001, and watch all 10 seasons. I'll stick to these and enjoy the rants and brainlessness of it. For now I find myself bursting out in laughter once or twice per episode.
If you are a true believer in humanity, decency or a devout religious person who doesn't appreciate the F-word, I'd suggest you watch Happy Days instead :-) -
codybpr12 April 2019I will agree, that this is a very different format to what people are use to in TPB. You don't see the other characters in the park, there's none of that familiarity in TPB Out of the Park.
Its nice to see the boys in different settings all over the world. It creates a lot of fun, and creative things for them to do. But the whole task thing is a little much. The whole season is the boys constantly failing over and over and getting walked on. I get it, Julian cant just beat up everyone in foreign countries, they cant rob as much stuff. But at least give them some episodes that they succeed. Also the production for this season was very lackluster. The green screening they use is awful, the lighting they use is way to aggressive for the video diary things they do. And they task give guy is really hard to watch. You want to see something bad happen to the guy making the Boys life hell but it never happens. All in all not horrible but not great. But i would like to see more out of the park stuff if it was formatted different and production value was raised. -
The original series was lowbrow comedy gold and gave birth to some great original characters, but this is something different. You have to get past Tom Mayhue and he is not an actor... The version of himself that he plays on this show is reprehensible and I kept hoping Ricky and Julian would "dispose of him," the way they disposed of him the way they disposed of Conky, but unfortunately he's in it for the longhaul. He is the WORST part of the show and if I had quit watching, it would have been because of this vile little man. When he's not on camera it's still a funny show. No, they did not spend 5 minutes throwing up because they didn't "like canned fish."Surströmming is basically rotten fish in a can that tastes like moldy blue cheese, but the Swedes seem to enjoy it. Most people would puke at the smell of that stuff, so the person equating it to regular old canned fish should probably get out of the park themselves.

ohmjones12 May 2019Don't listen to all the haters, no one who truly gets TPB's would be so critical.
Classic boys shenanigans but in Europe. Can't go wrong -
wayneo-6522327 August 2020Nothing acutally to do with the orginal TPB, but just watching the guys over in Europe fu*king everything up, I LIKE IT

goguygo-946923 November 2016I made it through several episodes of this series, hoping against hope it would improve as it went along. No such luck. How would it be possible to have an episode with Noel Fielding that would be unwatchable? And another with the Boys barfing for 5 minutes because they don't like canned fish... unbelievable. Unimaginative and boring; the most pitiful travelogue imaginable. I suppose Smith, Wells and Tremblay were looking for a way to have other people pay for their Europe vacation but weren't interested in putting in any effort. Very sad. If you are forced to watch these, the only upside is that it will give you a new appreciation for the Clattenburg days.

BurnItDwn2 November 2016Trailer Park Boys out of the park is a new, different show. If the Original Trailer Park boys show was a mockumentary of 90s era "reality TV", then the "Out of the Park" show is a mockumentary of 00s era "reality TV"
The boys, they are the same Trailer Park Boys we know and love. Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles characters are brilliantly acted as always.
At first, things just don't feel "right". There is no Mr Lahey. There is no Randy. The never ending hamburger and liquor fueled feud has come and gone.
Instead, the boys have a new enemy, a dark and ominous force has arisen to torment them. They are low on fuel. They have no comforts of home. All they have is each other.
Its a fresh and new TPB for the modern era. Just as vulgar, stupid, immature as before, but, in a shiny new bottle. I miss many of the supporting characters, but, the new show is magnificent. I love every moment of it. -
ratchetrizzo17 November 2016This is awful. The TPB's have sunk to a new low. The show used to be funny and not rely on low intelligence toilet humor. This series is basically a poor version of "An Idiot Abroad". Actually it's "3 full retards abroad". If you've seen ANY of the series before it went to Netflix you know that Ricky, Julian and Bubbles would NEVER act or stand for any of the stuff they have to do and put up with in this series. It's a shame because that's what ruins it. There are some funny moments in some episodes but they are so few and far between. This series is basically three old men whining and acting like little babies who get stepped on and walked all over the whole time without having any backbone. It takes the term JUMPING THE SHARK to a whole new level. The seasons on Netflix have gotten progressively worse and worse but this takes the cake for GARBAGE. I thought they sunk low with the toilet humor but this is to the point where it's insulting to the fans who have been around since the beginning. It makes you wonder what happened and who these characters are. I do understand they are in Europe away from the park but that is no excuse for how just how BAD they let things get. Them doing this shows that they don't care about the fans that have been with them since the beginning but want to cater to the teen age group. If you want to see bubbles act like a little scared boy all the time and Ricky and Julian act so selfish and not care about ANYONE besides themselves the whole time (while Julian doesn't stand up to anyone, shuts his mouth and does what he's told) then "TPB GO FULL RETARD ABROAD" is for you. They aren't the same guys we got to know and love anymore. Skip this unless there is absolutely nothing better to watch. I am scared to see how bad season 11 is going to be now.
2 tards out of 10 -
As a huge fan of the show i must say i really liked these episodes,It feels like they put as much energy into this as they do in a normal episode back in the park.
As a Swede I've been to most of the places they visit except Helsingfors(Finland) so for me that was extra funny, have to say hands down to the dampkring (coffeshop they visited in Amsterdam) i was there almost every day during my visit to Amsterdam and watching this just brings back great memories.
I really hope they make more of these episodes so i have something awesome to watch while I'm waiting for season 11 :) -
absolutelylucid30 January 2018The difference between a good season of TPB and a great one can be illustrated by missed opportunities. The episode with the 200mph task should have focused on time travel, period. A full episode devoted to the boys thinking they went back i time could have been an all time classic, but instead, it's just a momentary gag. Also, the hangover scene was only a gag but it should have been an epic finale to the season. What happened last night? It was long forgot a couple minutes in. The guest stars absolutely elevate, but aren't always hitting the mark. The basketball player for instance just kind of shows up and stands around for a few. Cool and all, but it could have been more.
Overall though, plenty of good. Season 2 is better than Season 1. It's not among the best of TPB, but it's certainly an addition to the catalogue i'm glad to have. -
The show has more or less become a show about Bubbles, this is very apparent in this season of OotP.
Bubbles is the king, his will is absolute and he can't be wrong.
The whole show is about Bubble's selfish ''dreams''
If you prefer Julian and Ricky, stay away. This show paints them as one dimensional. While Bubbles get's all the development.. -
I was spurned by a lot of bad reviews here but I found this to be hilarious. Is the original series better? Of course. It's 10/10. This is still funny tho.
I think a lot of people expected a continuation of the series with the other characters etc but this is more like the 3 guys in character playing Amazing Race or the Mole or Survivor. If the OG series is a mockumentary then this is their faux reality TV.
I dig the Europe episodes better than American just because the stark difference in culture seems funnier (Ricky getting mad about people using different languages was cracking me up, and Julian was trying way too hard to be cool).
I agree with the complaints about the host/Mayhew/swearnet guy. He's really bland but I kind of felt it was done on purpose. This actually really reminded me of the old Mole reality show and this guy was like knock off Anderson Cooper. But it's whatever, we are here for Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles. -
kurt-143006 November 2016I only made it through the first and second episode. I am a big fan of the first seasons of TPB, but this is really a disgrace and an insult to everyone viewing this and all people involved.
Just to point out a few things:- Really badly made green screen scenes all over the place.
- Bad post processing, lighting, framing and all over terrible production value.
- Referring to the second episode: Why does it take place in Berlin, when it only refers things you find in Bavaria? Did the producers spend more than 2h on location scouting?
-
reachkiramurphy29 September 2018The Trailer Park Boys have gotten pretty lame over the years but when they break away from their main series they've made some truly awful stuff. Swearnet, Drunk and On Drugs Happy Fun Hour, every TPB live special they have ever done. Now this, TPB: OOTP. I don't want to see them out of the park. Well I did but only until I saw this show. The quality is below zero. They don't even care how bad it is. Terrible production value and it is as if they don't even have a script. Nothing interesting or funny happens. This show is completely unwatchable.
-
ayihuh2 April 2022I love these but after watching a frustrating and disappointing Europe series, I had high hopes for this US series but it was unbearable with Bubbles ranting the whole time. This show gravely went out of balance to Bubbles it should have been his own show and Julian and Ricky were just sidekicks.
-
listrahtes22 June 2022Cant bringt myself to go into detail why this sucks because I enjoyed the original so much.
Its nothing very bad but like every show you kinda feel when it has run its course and should stop. With TPB that was probably around season 9 of the original. Now with this, even if its way subpar compared ,the one man that really destroys that is Tom Mayhue. He is not an actor and just in any regard wholly unlikable. Go watch their first masterpiece and ignore this. -
nicosachse-212778 February 2019Wow. This show is bad. Really bad. Just bad... awful in fact.
Nothing in this show is remotely funny. They're not even trying to do comedy any more, just riding a bus between cities in Europe and saying the f-word a lot. Swearing is fine if you're going to be funny, but JUST swearing is not funny at all.
I can see that "show" at my job every day around the water cooler, in the garage, in the smoking area, anywhere.
Very bad show. -
cglachan16 April 2017TPB is a weird show. I was promised it would be hilarious and it was for a couple episodes. It just gets hard to watch after a few seasons. Now this movie and other Swearnet inspired TPB productions have been kinda worse than anything else I have ever witnessed. This wasn't too bad of a story, but it was the constant failures that made it impossible to enjoy. Like I'd rather have seen all of them have a bunch of money for at least one episode. That way they can actually do something funny instead of just bummy. Anyway, I don't expect anything better from them, but they easily could make all of their production 100 times better.

13Funbags14 January 2018When the first season came out it was exactly what these guys needed, a new take on an over done idea. Sadly, the second season is the worst thing these guys have ever done. There are only two funny moments in the entire season and one is Tom Green. This series is supposed to be about them doing challenges for money but the second season is just about Bubbles making a video. A video that you probably saw before you saw season two which will therefore ruin any little bit of enjoyment you may have gotten. I never thought I would want the Trailer Park Boys to go away but it's time.

Well this whole season was garbage. Its bad enough that peole still think traveling to other far off countries and paying thousands just to get there is glamorous, but its not. Europe is mostly as normal as any other country, with people getting up, working, being bored and fed up with the government as anywhere else.
But instead of capitalizing on this and really giving people something worthwhile, we had one of the worst thing I have seen from the makers of TPB since a certain other drug fueled travesty aired. ( I shant say its name)
Trying to move away from the exact formula is never good when its a tried and true thing. A sure thing. And this europe nonsense was a sure crummy thing.
Aside from the fact that the episodes were each less than 30 minutes, which is insulting if one is to properly get things done in such a show, but every time the boys had their little individual on camera vid diaries, it was done with a cheapest green screen of prerecorded footage from somewhere in the country. Then you had them meeting up with a buncha losers most people in the western hemisphere wont recognize, a jerk telling em what to do whom looks like J Roc's estranged father, and just a buncha time wasting, 3rd rate attempts at comedy. This was almost worse than the other wannabe reality show about drug addled stupidity( no no Trailer Park Boys, that other piece of refuse, which shall not be mentioned).
I really wanted to rate this higher, but the more I watched it, the sadder it became. Everything after season 7 and countdown to liquor day has been garbage. As Far as I am concerned, the show still officially ended at season 7. Everything else is just shoddy pandering. -
cekadah26 November 2017about as funny as a barbed wire facial!
how could this be broadcast? the previous TPB were always funny and fun to watch! this one is a disaster!! i only made it thru the first two episodes and completely gave up.
the only purpose for this show is to say the word 'f*ck' !
give up and quit. -
This is bad. Considering the TBP is all these guys have done since '88, outside of the handful of other appearances, I can't expect anything fresh or new. This is all they can do. It's like a old band still playing the hits at the State Fair each year... Only a few still show and like it.

lucyfranceshurst-340921 October 2023I had looked forward to this so much. I'd been such a big TPB fan even forgetting how Of series 9 and 10 was. But this officially proved that they are flogging a dead horse now. The awful greenscreen, the inclusion of Noel fielding and the only person in the world who is less funny than him, his brother, Rickys beatles confusion, Julian has become such a whiney baby. Did he happen mention that he was hungry and a picky eater at all during the show? I think I managed about four eps of the second us series before thinking "if I hear the intro to bubbles stupid song, one more time!" total garbage.
