As far as early efforts go, Groening’s third small-screen endeavor, whose debut ten-episode run arrives on Netflix August 17, is routinely entertaining. ... And fortunately, it gets funnier as it goes along. Led by a terrific vocal cast that includes many Groening favorites. Read full review

Playing against the seriousness and self-glorification of so much sword-clanging fantasy, it makes the most of slapstick pestilence and the absurdist misery of peasants, revisiting history as farce. The scenes are quick and punchy, yet the episodes, unfolding serially, are long and sometimes sluggish. ... The season is perhaps most satisfying if consumed in a binge, so that its questing convolutions feel like the motions of a languorous epic. Read full review

The visual and verbal gags still come fast, but now they’re in the context of a more earnest and straightforward style of storytelling. They feel more illustrative than essential. Read full review

Disenchantment just feels full of potential that it hasn’t yet figured out. That’s maybe because it stays very much in safe territory. Read full review

Disenchanted doesn’t seem interested in wrestling with tropes or, for that matter, anything too deep. It’s more focused on finding easy comedy in the pockets of the universe it’s invented, which, to the credit of Rough Draft, the animation studio that brings the show to life, has an impressive, cinematic quality that outshines previous Groening projects. It’s just a shame that it doesn’t match that ambition in other areas. Read full review

Disenchantment was billed as “an adult animated comedy fantasy series” but misses its mark, since it’s neither “adult” nor is there much comedy. The 10-episode series will appeal more to a preteen sensibility than to anyone over 14 and it’s got plenty of, well, cartoonish violence a la “Itchy and Scratchy” from “The Simpsons.” What it doesn’t have is the charm or wit of that series--either in its storyline or its characters--and mostly plods along with only the occasional throwaway line eliciting a smile.

Essa é provavelmente a série mais subestimada pela crítica dos últimos tempos.

Pra mim a união Groening e Netflix funcionou perfeitamente, me lembrou muito os primórdios dos Simpsons, só que novo, diferente, completamente e politicamente incorreto. Os personagens são cativantes, os atores oferecem o trabalho de suas vidas, trilha sonora memorável, visual incrível, que é familiar e hipnotizante... e por fim, continuidade!... linearidade! Casou tudo perfeitamente. Série extremamente viciante e gostosa de assistir.… Expand

I binged all 10 episodes in one day and have no regrets. Although the show may have a slow start, it all pays off with the twist and cliffhangers we get at the end of the season.

Although the show may have a slow start, it all pays off with the twist and cliffhangers we get at the end of the season. Unlike Matt Groening’s other shows, in disenchantment, there are consequences for the characters actions and character development. I got attached to the characters of disenchantment much faster than I ever got attached to the cast of the Simpsons or Futurama. Overall, this show is great and worth binging.… Expand

Kind of an uneven show. Some episodes were utterly brilliant (The Princess of Darkness, Faster, Princess! Kill! Kill! ), on par with The Simpsons or Futurama and there's some which were just unfunny bores (Swamp and Circumstance is easily the worst episode).

Kill! ), on par with The Simpsons or Futurama and there's some which were just unfunny bores (Swamp and Circumstance is easily the worst episode). There's a lot to like (wonderful world building, some genuinely great characters, fantastic music etc.) and a lot to be disappointed by (unoriginal ideas, half-baked jokes and writing, some underwhelming voice-acting etc.), so the divisive reaction from both the public and critics is perfectly understandable. For me the good outweighs the bad and I can see Disenchantment's potential to get better. Will tune in for season 2 for sure.… Expand

Disappointing. Groening's third project for TV lacks the wit and edginess of his predecessors.

I have to ask is this a Kids shows?, Adult comedy?, or is it something you watch for when your extremely baked?. I'm asking because i have no idea who the target audience for this show is. Matt Groening's most recent 'comedy' creation is lackluster beyond all belief, with dull plot lines, aI have to ask is this a Kids shows?, Adult comedy?, or is it something you watch for when your extremely baked?. I'm asking because i have no idea who the target audience for this show is.
