Disenchantment (2018)

My wife loves it. I liked the Simpsons and I loved Futurama... but honestly I don't think this offers anything knew. It's not trying to be either show, or recapture any former glory, so I'll give it that. And it does have it's moments here and there, but it doesn't feel as if it's trying to say anything. It's not exactly ripping into pop culture like the Simpsons did so brilliantly when it was so good, and it's not a social commentary channeled through the lens of Sci-fi geekdom like Futurama... it's not even ripping into pop culture or giving any social commentary as channeled through the lens of fantasy. It's just kind of there, kind of episodic, kind of meh. It's not even the kind of meh where you can say that you don't like the character, or the situation, or whatever... because that would have just a tad more meaning than this offers. Really it's kind of fun, but kind of empty and meaningless. The jokes aren't layer upon layer, they only come up when offered. It's almost like it was phoned in, and in a way that tries to tell an over-arching story about really nothing all that fun or different.
