    Great to see the show back, thank you - the cast for getting together.
    I've been fan since the beginning of the show in 2000s and unfortunately, this first episode reminds me of the Bender's Big Score. Nothing memorable with spilled out old gags repackaged for the new generation. Maybe I'm too old or had much higher expectations but I feel like this episode is forced by the new network

Maybe I'm too old or had much higher expectations but I feel like this episode is forced by the new network on the creative team and has to check a lot of check boxes. I'd expect much more after 10year hiatus. I only hope this is what was forced by contract and we will see the wit and smirky gags we loved so much in the future(ama). I keep my fingers crossed and hope the season will roll the 'big guns' very soon.

    It's sad to say, but it isn't what it once was. The innovative concepts and risqué humour is completely absent, leaving the characters we love in a very bland and tired setting. The writing isn't completely to blame however, as the acting comes off as deflated aswell. Whether this is due to the uninspired ideas or just the passage of time is unclear.

    Do these new episodes feel essential? Not really. I don’t know that I ever felt that way about the show to begin with, but I have such admiration for its love of zingers, its bouncy-cynical depiction of the future, and a cast of characters who are plainly ridiculous and yet committed to one another.

    If you’ve been a fan of this show over the last quarter-century, you’re going to watch these new episodes, and they’re going to be as funny and sometimes frustrating as they’ve always been.

    At its best, Futurama remains a charming, sci-fi-tinged hangout comedy in the vein of a futuristic Community or It’s Always Sunny. But the re-reboot only reinforces how great that very first run was, more than 20 years ago.
