This show was underrated. I would take more of this over more Futurama at this point.
I haven't enjoyed the most recent couple of seasons, I can't tell if I'm just nostalgic for the older seasons or if they are just bad. I feel like there's more culture references (like COVID and Amazon) in these later ones as well
The new season feels forced, as if they had a checklist of gags to do to stay relevant. Covid, crypto, getting canceled, amazon.
Some of the jokes were funny, but story is bland, and feels like something LLM spew out.
"What are the kids watching now, Dune? 'Kay, we're doing Dune."
Hulurama's first season was been pretty bad, with the notable exception of "All the Way Down," which felt like a classic episode. I just found out the next season has already started, so I'll get to watching those episodes. Are they any better, or pretty much the same so far?
I think season 12 is better than season 11 so far, but not quite as good as the older episodes
I have to disagree.
At first, I was super excited for a new Groening show, but Disenchantment left me disappointed after the first few episodes.
Not sure if my expectations were too great, but the show just feels rushed and lacks depth. I gave up somewhere around the middle of season three.
Would you say you became disenchanted with it?
I watched through the end because I was curious where it was going, but I think it got a last season just to wrap things up. Most of the plot lines made no sense or didn't really get wrapped up.
It kept feeling like it was building towards something, but it never delivered on any level. Humor was okay, but really shows Groening should stick to an episodic format.
Yeah, I'm watching season 5 now and it feels really rushed, which now makes sense since I found out it was cancelled before they could tell the story they wanted to. Very flawed show, but unique enough that I still like it overall. Oona's a particularly great character. Or is?
It was nice to get a new adult animated show that tried to be more than just a raunchy comedy. The plot was intriguing, even if it never really found itself, and the setting was fun and unique.
Since you liked it you could also check out Krapopolis. It's a interesting animated comedy set in ancient Greece about creating "civilization" with some pretty big voices.
Thanks for the recommend, will check it out!
Same here. The new Futurama episodes on Hulu are just not nearly as good as the original run and at this point are worse than the Comedy Central run. This season in particular has a number of episodes that have too many plot points that don't come together for a cohesive story.
I abandoned it. One of the specific things I could tell disappointed me was the foley effects. There’s a 5-10 second sequence of Bean escaping from some evil queen that’s taken her captive, climbing over obstacles and up a rope, and it was basically silent except for the music.
I understand in isolation it comes off as a nitpick, but it’s maybe the most direct explanation I have for the show feeling low budget and incomplete. On top of that, the writing seemed to want to be higher stakes than Futurama by wrapping a larger story, but things just got resolved so unceremoniously. (That escape being one of those instances - it went from a moment of capture and peril to just going home out of nowhere)
They have comics now. They're called "Disenchantment: Untold Tales" and 2 are out with a 3rd coming. Nice hardcovers too.
