Seventeen years after Season 13 premiered, King of the Hill is back, and fans are loving what they're seeing thus far.

The animated comedy, which debuted in 1997 and was created by Mike Judge and Greg Daniels, dropped Season 14 on Monday. The show is streaming exclusively on Hulu.

According to Rotten Tomatoes, Season 14 of King of the Hill has been well-received, with the show getting a perfect score among critics and 93% positive reviews from audiences. King of the Hill has garnered an overall mark of 4.6 stars out of five with 100-plus audience reviews.

"King of the Hill basically picks up where it left off by doing what it does best: Telling funny and warm stories about the Hills and the people in Arlen," Joel Keller of Decider wrote.

"The 14th season of King of the Hill did not disappoint! I felt that it played perfectly into the past seasons with how we’ve [known] this show to be," a five-star review said. "The aging up of the characters was perfect and the development of the characters was fantastic with some interesting turns!

"If you liked King of the Hill of yesteryear this will be a wonderfully fresh take on Hank, Peggy, Bobby and the whole gang!" the review concluded.

Not everyone was pleased, though.

"In my opinion this revival was a huge miss. It just didn't have the humor I was expecting like the OG 13 seasons does and half the voices are just so off it makes it difficult for me to watch," a one-star review said.

On IMDB, the lowest rating for an episode came in at 7.9 stars (Episode 2), while the highest mark was nine stars (Episode 10).
