Online Series: Disenchantment (Netflix - Matt Groening)

[montreal]

I think the story is interesting but yeah most of the jokes miss. Feels like they’re trying too hard half the time. I just have the finale left but the most recent episode was the best yet for me.

agree with everything but the best episode which for me was the 7th. It's been ok to watch, I kind of enjoy it but it's just not funny at all. I also just have the finale to watch.

 

[LarKing]

Finished it. Story is interesting enough to keep watching when a season 2 comes out.

I enjoyed it but, I feel that the jokes would have been better if they were 18+

Does anyone else actually think that a certain friendly character is actually dead?

 

[wedge]

Was really bored by it for the first 5 episodes. Most people say it gets better by episode 7 and I agree. Starting at 7, and wanted to watch the next episode very fast and the finale is awesome.
I will definitely watch the second season but I really hope it starts faster. Also, jokes are meh... It's not a very funny show.

No, but leaving him dead at the end of the season implies there's a chance that the voice actor might not be back for season 2 and they wanted to leave options open. Like Han Solo in carbonite in Empire Strikes Back.

Season 1 was ok, enough to keep me around for season 2, which drops this Friday (September 20)

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Oh yeah, this was a thing.

Yeah, after first 2 episodes i switched to South Park. Maybe i will give it second chance.

 

[Sticksandsun]

It has been ok so far

 

[HanSolo]

Started slow again and became kind of like a comedy central era Futurama, which is acceptable but I was hoping for more from the writers.

My reaction as well.

They waste far too much time with secondary or back ground characters that don't really show up until they need to move the plot forward, if they focused on the actual story instead of dicking about, they would have a fantastic show on their hands. They're trying too hard to be like a fantastical futurama and keep losing track of their actual story. It wasn't a bad season, but they had time to come up with a good one and they didn't deliver it imo.


Also, Bojack is a fantastic show, it's not so much it's an animated fun cartoon, there's a lot of real shit Bojack is going through and if you turned it into a show with live actors and adjusted the nuances of the animals thing, you'd likely have a serious hit on your hands on HBO or something.

I think I just want them to pick one. Either be narrative driven at the expense of Futuramaesque zany humor, or abandon the narrative and just have Futurama in a medieval fantasy setting. The show can't decide which it wants to be.

Exactly, it bounces back and forth and then you get to the final episode and suddenly, it's some story they forgot and were like oh yeah....cliffhanger time!

I'm fine with it in it's current state but it's not something I feel has as much rewatchability as Futurama and The Simpsons.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

bla to this Final Space is such a more fullfilling show and it seems to get no attention.

 

[montreal]

I am half way through the new season, it's not bad. I liked the bender reference when the King said bite my shinny metal axe, lol.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

returns Friday

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

Is this worth watching? I gave up after the first few episodes.

Ever eat plain toast? If the answer is yes, then watch the show next time you're bored.

I liked it

Me too. Not funny.

 

[montreal]

just finished the latest season, it was ok, the king making those sounds cracked me up.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Tried again to get into this and just couldn't. The way a poster above put it, 'It's Comedy Central-era Futurama' is probably the nicest thing to say about the show.

Speaking of Futurama, it's made me want to re-watch the show for the first time since the finale aired. The first 5 or so seasons are some of my favorite cartoon/comedy shows of all time

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Bump, season 4 dropped today
