Fantastic series!! Really fills the hole the futurama left. Amazing animation, well recognisable voices from futurama characters. Great wit, the humour is top notch. Can't believe there's official reviews out there rating it at 56. WhatFantastic series!! Really fills the hole the futurama left. Amazing animation, well recognisable voices from futurama characters.

Quite a fun new series that feels like a medieval fantasy setting of Simpsons/futurama. It has some
fun references to actual history as well as current political occurrences. It has to be noted however, that season one is nice, season twoQuite a fun new series that feels like a medieval fantasy setting of Simpsons/futurama. It has some

You probably won't like this series as much as I like it, but I love its characters so I'm so warm to them that super characters are so sympathetic that it's the best-written characters I've seen so far (for me) or I'm watching it for the 4thYou probably won't like this series as much as I like it, but I love its characters so I'm so warm to them that super characters are so sympathetic that it's the best-written characters I've seen so far (for me) or I'm watching it for the 4th time I'm still having an orgasm while watching, but it's an average for you. making it but 56 or not or **** please how could it be so low… Expand

This is probably my favorite netflix show. This show is exactly what my sh*t sense of humor is.

I have so much to say about this show. It is not perfect, but I sure love the heck out of it. I started watching fairly recently and was lucky enough that Season 4 dropped just as I was finishing Season 3. I love the characters and voiceI have so much to say about this show. It is not perfect, but I sure love the heck out of it. I started watching fairly recently and was lucky enough that Season 4 dropped just as I was finishing Season 3. I love the characters and voice cast, the art, the humor, the fact that they try to stay somewhat consistent with their world-building despite juggling so many disparate tones and elements, and that the show has kept its heart in the right place throughout its run so far. Character arcs progress organically and there is a real sense that the writers are building up to an overarching climax, even if they're taking some roundabout ways of getting there, and as the case with many Netflix/Amazon shows, certain tonal inconsistencies between adjacent episodes highlight the incongruous nature of applying the episodic TV "writer's room" format to a streaming series. King Zog and Bean are some of the best and most iconic characters Groening and Cohen have ever worked on. DiMaggio and Jacobson fill them with so much soul. Probably any burnt-out, underachieving, neurotic Millennial (I was born in '87 and happily married with a kid now, but she reminds me in so many ways of my lost, lonely college self, and my early-mid '20s coming to terms with personal responsibility) can relate to Bean and all of the stressors she's saddled with, and King Zog is my favorite take on the "burnt-out dad" archetype, a truly three-dimensional character, even if the writers tend to forget that sometimes (stealing gold and jewels from the Sea Trogs? really?). What he goes through at the asylum and monastery is masterfully written. Luci, Elfo, Oona, Pops, Jerry, Dagmar, and Ursula are all fantastic supporting players, even if they are never given enough to do and get to be a bit one-note at times.

The writing is the show's strongest suit, but also perhaps its greatest hindrance. The world as established is so rich with little details, throwbacks (the Fritz Lang Metropolis refences in Steamland? Heck yes!), and recurring jokes that at times it feels as if the writers are hemmed in by their own wit, either stuck writing between the lines so as not to diverge too much from the typical trappings of the fantasy, comedy, or sitcom genres, or perhaps their hands were tied by Netflix themselves, those killers of joy and pushers of mediocrity.

I will say this - I really dig the idea of the "episodic, but not" format where plot threads and thematic elements weave and bob in and out. Yet, despite episodes having varying runtimes, I don't so much feel that this show's unique storytelling format has been allowed to breathe and blossom in quite the way that it could have. With a little more focus and time, this show could be an absolute epic masterpiece of comedic and fantasy storytelling, but it isn't, and that's an absolute shame. It works better as a series of character studies (when it gets to developing and fleshing out its cast) with sharp quips and cool concepts. Does that make it a disappointment? I don't know. I'm just so darn glad that it exists, because just like Futurama, it warms the cockles of my heart.

Anyway, if anyone who's ever worked on the show is reading this, THANK YOU!! Thank you for making such an excellent and life-affirming show!! As long as you can keep the political and social justice stuff to a minimum, focus on the characters as established, and axe any dialogue that references real-world stuff, I have absolute confidence that you will stick the landing. Bring on Season 5!! Oh, one more thing - I am amazed that the only merch available for Zog and Bean are ugly Funko Pops. I want actual figures, darn it!! HONK!… Expand

Disenchantment is easily the best show by Matt Groening. I think what makes it that is the fact that this series puts plot first, jokes second. The humour follows the plot, not the other way around.
