Mike Judge and Greg Daniels will be doing it, but I still don’t know how I feel about it. It’s one of my, if not my favorite show. I guess them being in charge gives me some reassurance that it’s not going to be complete trash. Sorry if this is the wrong comm, I wasn’t sure where to post this.

    If this revival isn't about Hank slowly becoming alienated from his family and going down the Q rabbit hole then it's trash.

      Struggle session engage? I think it would be funnier if he were the only one in the group to be a 'regular republican' so as to provide tension and opportunities for 'fish out of water' situations where Hank is dragged to Peggy's things. He wants to be respected by his friends but has to deal with liberal parodies loving him for no reason. He can't deal with either.

        I can see that working too. It would fit with Hank's character to actually keep being a never-Trump Republican even as everyone around him starts wearing MAGA hats.

        But it's equally possible they just ignore Trumpism and do episodes where Bobby gets a smartphone or Peggy starts an OnlyFans.

          I feel pretty strongly that there should be a time skip and that Peggy and Hank are living in an over the top RV that they've never driven out of Texas

            I like this idea except Hank says in the episode where Kahn gets a pool that he’s always wanted to vacation in Indiana. Which is absolutely hilarious.

      Dale at the least is either absolutely a Q freak by now or alternatively somehow has a conspiracy theory about how Q is a false flag to distract true patriots. That last route is funnier because it allows you to still play around with Dale’s brainworms without him turning into a mass shooter.

      Boomhower probably went to some trump rallies, but got bored of it. Bill continues to be lifeless.

      I think Hank stays the same because he gives zero fucks and is so insulated by his privilege that he can just “not be political”. It’s part of what gives his character the appeal it does.

        Dale will think Q is child's play compared to what he knows. Baby's first conspiracy.

          Dale absolutely does not vote, and knows that QAnon is too dumb to be true. At the bare minimum, Dale IS Q.

            Omfg that would be the funniest shit if he's like "holy shit how are they getting THAT from what I said? They'd guys are crazy. And he's terrified of posting on the account or smth.

      I don't think that would fit Hank's character. He never much cared for high concept political stuff. He just wants to put a putting green in his backyard and grill.

      He has literally devoted his life to grilling.

        I can just see him listening to a lot of talk radio and getting his brain fried by it. The fact that he wasn't engaged for so long but got sucked in by the Murdoch machine would add to the tragedy.

          I could see it happening if Hank gets convinced there's some kind of plot to interfere with his daily life, like something changing truck size or the price of steaks. Or something that's otherwise completely apolitical. There was that one episode where Hank had an internal crisis because Bush Sr had a weak handshake lmao.

            Bush Jr. He's still a lifelong and loyal Republican and would feel personally betrayed they'd put up 'that New York jckass from the TV show'
