At first, I was super excited for a new Groening show, but Disenchantment left me disappointed after the first few episodes.
Not sure if my expectations were too great, but the show just feels rushed and lacks depth. I gave up somewhere around the middle of season three.
I watched through the end because I was curious where it was going, but I think it got a last season just to wrap things up. Most of the plot lines made no sense or didn’t really get wrapped up.
It kept feeling like it was building towards something, but it never delivered on any level. Humor was okay, but really shows Groening should stick to an episodic format.
Yeah, I’m watching season 5 now and it feels really rushed, which now makes sense since I found out it was cancelled before they could tell the story they wanted to. Very flawed show, but unique enough that I still like it overall. Oona’s a particularly great character. Or is?
It was nice to get a new adult animated show that tried to be more than just a raunchy comedy. The plot was intriguing, even if it never really found itself, and the setting was fun and unique.
Since you liked it you could also check out Krapopolis. It’s a interesting animated comedy set in ancient Greece about creating “civilization” with some pretty big voices.
Thanks for the recommend, will check it out!
