Disenchantment (Netflix)

[The Gnat]

Watched a handful of episodes last night. I think that the show works pretty well. And I do think that there is a fair amount of it that just feels like a medieval Futurama.

Has anyone else watched it?

This is all I took from it. Wasn't a fan after a few episodes - it's trying to be Futurama, but falls considerably short, IMO.

Might give it a 2nd shot, but did not like it much initially.

I thought it was pretty good. It felt like the first two or so episodes were really trying to get the basic plot out of the way so that it could become more episodic. I do agree that it's a weaker version of Futurama probably more on par with a number of the last second episodes. But I thought it was enjoyable, and it was a nice medium weight comedy, not too over the top but not trying to play it too safe.

I thought it was a lot better as it went on. The first couple episodes were pretty meh.

Nothing landed for me at all. Only watched I think... 2 episodes? Not interested in the characters at all and found zero humor.

I've wrapped up the show, it's nice that it was short. It was a little different, but thought that  in the end, it landed pretty well. I mainly liked how everything has been tied together throughout the episodes, so if you think back on it, you can see how various things tie in together.

Is it really worth continuing?

I mean, I found it relatively funny mainly because of some of the absurdist humor with it. If you haven't been sucked in, probably just skip it. But I thought it was solid with the humor that was going on and having the voice of an IT Crowd actor was fun in it. I feel like it might be references and voices that make it more worth it.

I will likely binge this once there are 4 seasons of it.  Seems like the perfect after work drinking TV show.

It's definitely Matt Groening humor, and I'm good with that. I enjoyed it.

check this out once I start up Netflix again in September

I didn't find it very funny either. Definitely not as strong of a start as his other shows.

With that said, if it continues I will watch it and hope I enjoy it more.

It gets better as it goes on, but it never got better than "Above average" and it doesn't hit that until the final 3 episodes.

7/10 of the episodes are flat out medicore. It's watchable but if you're gonna watch a Netflix Cartoon do BoJack, it's sooo much better.

I enjoyed it. If nothing else its great background noise / something you can half pay attention to and laugh at sometimes.

Echo what ET said, it's trying too hard to be something it isn't. It really doesn't feel like it has it's own identity which means I really don't feel the need to dedicate more time to it than the 3 episodes I watched.
