The first 7 seasons of Trailer Park Boys (pre-Netflix) were something special and unique.
Despite the constant swearing and drug use the show had heart. It didn't rely on gross-out humor and they had an odd and almost undefinable degree of restraint - they somehow understood exactly what lines not to cross. It was wholesome scumbaggery.
The dialog had an improvised feel, you could tell that most scenes were only loosely outlined with the characters improvising.
The Netflix garbage is clearly scripted with almost none of the spontaneous feel, the written jokes are all either shit that was played out in goddamn Vaudeville or gross-out humor, Ricky is constantly screaming about his cock and balls, its just loud and obnoxious shit and the heart is completely gone from it.
