King Of The Hill is a rousing success. The show isn’t perfect. But that boy? He’s just right.

How successful is the “King of the Hill” revival? It’s still funny enough, sweet enough, satirical enough and just plain smart enough to put a neighborhood book burning into an understandable context.

Instead, the show focuses on what it always has been about – growth. Mixing the right amount of heart, nostalgia, and laughs, Hulu’s King of the Hill is a welcome addition to the show’s legacy.

What really gives the revival its staying power is its emotional core: a gentle sweetness that runs through Hank, the Hill family, and the town of Arlen.

Hank’s right back where he belongs.

t’s a lot like the Alamo beer that Hank and his friends sip in the alley: nothing too flashy, but always reliable -- and, in its own way, kind of timeless.

'King of the Hill' Season 14 is a rock solid base for at least a handful more seasons. In many ways, it remains unique in the adult animation landscape.

With that in mind, we just might need this show more than ever, and the new "King of the Hill" delivers, on every level, a remarkable return to form for one of the 21st century's best animated series.

When 'King of the Hill' does take on more fraught issues of the day — cultural appropriation, the manosphere, misinformation, surveillance culture, online shaming — it does so with its signature blend of insight, sly humor, and silliness.

It's the rare revival that is able to age its characters and modernize the world, but still feel like the dang ol' king.

In a sea of TV revivals and remakes, King of the Hill sets a new gold standard on how to do things correctly. King of the Hill isn’t just sizzle; it’s all steak, I’ll tell you what.

Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jul 26, 2025

Hulu and Mike Judge’s King of the Hill Season 14 is honestly the best revival that has ever been made by a mile. King of the Hill remains the quintessential animated series about a place and a people that just doesn’t miss.

Full Review | Original Score: 10/10 | Jul 26, 2025

For fans of the original 13-year run, this is a much welcome return. For new viewers, who perhaps heard of the series in its first form but never found the time to check it out, this is a perfect jumping-on point.

I have, alas, little doubt that there will be idiotic cries of “woke Hank Hill!” from certain money-grubbing corners of the internet, merely because Hank occasionally experiences personal growth.

After a slightly rocky premiere, the 2025 version of “King of the Hill” quickly finds its footing again, and a couple of the episodes in the mid-section of this 10-episode season rank among the best half-hour comedy chapters of the year, anywhere.

When King of the Hill pulls back to observe the few lasting bits of Americana identity remaining in the Hills and the Arlen around them, it remains as iconic as ever, a warm bit of comfort food properly updated to find its way in our strange times.

But, don't cry for me, Arlen, Texas. Despite the whirlwind of change that has buffeted their world and ours over the last two decades, the series' essence of gentle, low-key, good humor has survived wonderfully intact.

It’s just so refreshing in how it’s a season that feels nostalgic, but not weighed down by the past.

Uses the Hill family to show the world need not be as divided as it is.

Full Review | Jul 25, 2025

The show lean hard into the way society has evolved, even while Hank’s core values haven’t — the way his dedication to those core values run up against stuff like men’s rights is where some of the show’s best jokes and most interesting tension comes from.
