I just got done binging the latest season of Saturday Night Live and I'd like to review it:

A lot of the skits were hilarious, some were even what I would consider "modern classics". The Adam Sandler episode was from beginning to end nothing but a laugh riot and I ate up every minute of that particular episode like candy.

Like usual, there were some skits that may have went a bit too far. But at this point I'd expect them to push they envelope and they didn't say anything too shockingly tasteless. Personally I thought it was refreshing that they didn't do any suicide jokes (that I remember at least). Way too many comedies make fun of suicide nowadays and I'm glad to see them leave that particular topic out of it entirely.

It had everything that a true SNL fan would love. Political satire, celebrity impressions, inappropriate humor, pop culture parodies, amazing musical numbers, funny songs, hilarious Weekend Update segments, and wonderfully unique original content in addition to all the parodies.

On the other hand, there were some skits that I found to be a bit too weird for me personally. A couple I would even consider borderline creepy actually. Among all the good stuff, there were a handful of bizarre scenes that just made me scratch my head in confusion. Surreal humor is fine for quirky animated shows like The Amazing World of Gumball but weirdness just for the sake of weirdness doesn't quite work for a live action comedy like SNL as far as I'm concerned.

All in all, the season was a total delight to watch. They were VERY few bad moments and nearly everything else was wonderful. I give this season a 9 out of 10. I would've given a 10 but there were some segments here and there that did nothing but make me cringe and occasionally even literally squirm in my seat. As great as the season was, I think it would be much better if they stopped all the weird/disturbing bits.
