Various web sites report that 14 new episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K for short) have been made available on the Netflix streaming service. Older episodes can also be seen on Netflix. Each is 90 minutes long, and has intermissions. During the show, fictional characters—including puppets—give humourous running commentary while a B movie is shown.
A trailer advertises the new episodes; another video advertisement shows MST3K's treatment of the beginning of an episode of Netflix's Stranger Things.
According to the show's official site, the new season is permitted to be seen in "the U.S., U.K., New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, and Canada."

Watched a few of the new episodes. It's now politically correct, as in the SJW'ers won't have anything to complain about. Definitely not like the old episodes with innuendos.

Any search tips on how to find the most innuendo laden episodes? (had a quick view to find out what all the fuss was about)
In general it's sad to see culture being flattened such that no one might ever take offense and in the process it becomes as interesting as the test picture..

If it's so politically correct now, where are the niggers? Where are the gays?

Cast is white, white, white. This revival series is racist.

And some of the comments are pretty funny, Can''t offer a comparison because its been too many decades since I saw the old ones. I thought the writing was pretty good for a knock off product.
There are still innuendo moments in the new shows, but sometimes pretty subtle, more of the "Wait, What??" type rather than the send the kids away kind. If any thing, this group had no reason to pull punches, they were funded fully in advance, and never intended to release on any broadcast channels.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.
