Season 1 Review: As far as early efforts go, Groening’s third small-screen endeavor, whose debut ten-episode run arrives on Netflix August 17, is routinely entertaining. ... And fortunately, it gets funnier as it goes along. Led by a terrific vocal cast that includes many Groening favorites. Read full review

Season 1 Review: If The Simpsons and Futurama are PG-13 shows, Disenchantment is maybe PG-14, ever-so-slightly sexier and bloodier. Like the other shows, its jokes are more suggestive than bawdy. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Despite some snarls, we do find ourselves caring and rooting for this defiant teen, wayward elf, and conflicted demon, and it’s thanks in great part to the cast. Disenchantment has the potential to become as engrossing an updated fairy tale as it is a debauched one, without choosing between one-offs and longer arcs. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It's a by-the-numbers affair -- the equivalent of a joke that begins "A princess, an elf and a demon walk into a bar...." Read full review

Season 3 Review: In an attempt to build out the world and the rest of the bloated ensemble, Disenchantment not only shortchanges its heroes but also loses sight of what made the series modestly fun in the first place. Read full review

Season 1 Review: What Disenchantment should have done is taken advantage of being on Netflix and gone for a more serialized story, which would help it distinguish itself from Futurama and also help bring it into this century of binge TV. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Disenchantment was billed as “an adult animated comedy fantasy series” but misses its mark, since it’s neither “adult” nor is there much comedy. The 10-episode series will appeal more to a preteen sensibility than to anyone over 14 and it’s got plenty of, well, cartoonish violence a la “Itchy and Scratchy” from “The Simpsons.” What it doesn’t have is the charm or wit of that series--either in its storyline or its characters--and mostly plods along with only the occasional throwaway line eliciting a smile.

Toda la serie girará en torno al empoderamiento femenino que tal parece significa consumir licor, drogas y ser promiscua. Humor más bien poco pero eso sí unos gráficos superiores incluso a otras series como los Simpson del cual saca su arte.

Much like Star Wars Resistance, I was very mixed on Disenchantment’s first season. It was really slow and awkward and clunky and not that funny, but when you go back to The Simpsons season 1 or even Futurama season 1, those shows didn’t really hit their stride until later on.

It was really slow and awkward and clunky and not that funny, but when you go back to The Simpsons season 1 or even Futurama season 1, those shows didn’t really hit their stride until later on. I assumed Disenchantment would follow the same pattern as Matt Groening’s other shows. Again, like Star Wars Resistance, Disenchantment season 1 had a great season finale that got me really excited to see where it would go next. However, they resolve everything that season 1 set up within the first couple episodes and go back to pretty much just standalone stories. This is one of the most frustrating shows to watch. You can see the potential, there are great characters, some good jokes and opportunities to have an overarching plot, but it doesn’t take any of those opportunities. It feels like a network TV series, not a streaming series. Disenchantment season 2 is, unfortunately, still pretty slow and awkward and clunky and not that funny. Once again, it had a great season finale, but I’m not taking the bait this time. This show has let me down before. If you’ve never seen the show before, there are some positives. The animation is great, the voice acting is strong, the music is good, the characters are likeable and memorable and the show is really good at worldbuilding. It creates a very unique and cool fantasy universe. I just wish it was more funny and had an interesting story. I’d say don’t bother watching it right now. Wait and see how it ends before starting, the fourth and final season is coming out in 2021. Maybe season 3 will turn things around? I doubt it, but I’ll keep watching and see.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nice animations, but there was not a single joke that made me laugh. Of course, everyone has a different understanding about humor, but all the loooong dialogs that try to be funny are just boring and dumb. the king is acting "crazy" but after 5 episodes of animal sounds it adds nothing new to his character. sorry, but that was not even a bit funny and a waste of time, but the illustration and animation were cool.… Expand
