After years working a propane job in Saudi Arabia to earn their retirement nest egg, Hank and Peggy Hill return to a changed Arlen, Texas to reconnect with old friends Dale, Boomhauer and Bill. Meanwhile, Bobby is living his dream as a chef in Dallas and enjoying his 20s with his former classmates Connie, Joseph and Chane.
I mean… It was always kinda out of touch. That I think was the point. It’s a group of self assured Texans who mean well but, don’t always act well.
I always found the Hills to be insufferable but it didn’t make it less fun to watch. So if they bring accurate boomerism to the screen but manage to make it feel real and empathetic then it seems like the original just aged like the actual boomers.
