Critical Reception

AV Club gave "Member Berries" a "B+" rating saying: "South Park’s recent foray into more serialized seasons has resulted in a creative boom for the series, now on its twentieth season. Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s crudely animated, crudely written show has managed to consistently find ways to reinvent itself, whether by leaning harder on its satirical edge, developing its cast in deeper, unique ways, improving the scale of the animation, or establishing longer story arcs. Last season brought all those aspects together as the citizens of South Park dealt with the violently aggressive bro-type PC Principal, gentrification, and inexplicable fan-fiction.But you can’t deny the show now has a verve that hasn’t been seen in quite a while."[2]

IGN gave "Member Berries" a "6.2" rating saying: "It's great to have South Park back on the air, but unfortunately, Season 20 didn't get off to a strong start this week. "Member Berries" boasted some clever ideas and funny gags, but the many warring subplots failed to coalesce into a satisfying whole. The show is never at its best when it tries to cram too much topical humor into one episode."[3]
