Hank Hill, the lovable propane salesman from Arlen, Texas, is back in a new season of “King of the Hill,” and he’s not sure what to make of the modern world. The show’s creators have tried to balance Hank’s familiar humor with the changes that have taken place over the past 15 years.
In the first episode, Hank and his wife Peggy return to their hometown, only to find themselves confused by boba tea, ridesharing, and all-gender bathrooms. Their son Bobby is now a successful chef with a German-Asian fusion restaurant, and they’ve retired to live off Amazon deliveries.
Despite the changes, some things remain the same. Hank still drinks beer, Dale’s paranoid antics have only intensified, and Bill’s lovable sadness has persisted. The show’s tone remains gentle and mocking of modern life, targeting hipsters and bike lanes.
The new season is politics-free, with Hank representing a sensible, middle-ground approach. His creators argue that he’s not tied to any particular party or ideology, making him relatable to audiences. The show’s focus on relationships and everyday struggles allows viewers to see themselves in the characters’ experiences.
With 10 episodes released on Hulu, fans can look forward to exploring Hank’s modern misadventures and seeing how his friends navigate new chapters in their lives.
