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.
The series premiere is the least funny episode, too reliant on setting up its characters and its world. Be patient. Once those are in place, and the writers and talent are allowed to have some fun, it works much better, and it’s the kind of show that gets more enjoyable as it goes along, revealing character through repeated jokes and just having more of a good time.

While early installments are too committed to wheel-spinning setup, sparky humor and rapport develops later in the season. [7 Sep 2018, p.109]
Disenchantment just feels full of potential that it hasn’t yet figured out. That’s maybe because it stays very much in safe territory.
The missing pieces, arguably the most important ones, are the groundbreaking and socially relevant ones. That proficient and fluid animation aside, Disenchantment breaks no ground, offers nothing socially current other than the fact that Bean's a strong, independent woman.
By plotting a serialized narrative within Dreamland's unique landscape, Disenchantment only slightly tweaks the hermetic formula of Groening's other shows. Yet with Bean, a hilariously restive, subversive, and ambitious protagonist, the series has the potential to transcend its stock roots.
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.
Ragazzi c'é da constatare che anche i Simpson e Futurama all'inizio facevano cagare, ma poi hanno fatto un successo della madonna, dategli fiducia.
Disincanto secondo me è strutturato molto bene, soprattutto riguardo agli eventi e i costumi che ricordano molto l'epoca medievale.
Ritengo che sia migliore dei Simpson e Futurama, perché c'è più ironia scurrile e la trama e tutto un susseguirsi, essendoci un filo logico episodio dopo episodio rendendo il tutto più coinvolgente.

Disenchantment could be so much better. I still enjoyed it, though. Very hit and miss. It is very generic. Disenchantment is a giggle show. I never laughed out loud, but I never cringed. It gets better as it goes along. There are just so many better shows to watch.

When I watched this all I could think of was not disenchantment as a fantasy comedy. More like disappointment.
