Disenchantment (2018–2023)
6/10
Starts OK, gets worse.
25 January 2021
Those expecting a strong growth curve like Futurama, or strong insider humor like Simpsons are in for a bad time. Unfortunately the main character is a terrible person surrounded by enablers leaving no room for growth and the showrunners are to afraid to teach this Mary Sue any actual lessons. All the best jokes are background characters, as though the writers room is divided by a single writer writing the main character, Bean, and the rest of the writers trying to keep the audience entertained. The storyline suffers from what seems like them not intending to get this far, with every new episode creating more plot holes and throwing past episodes into the trash, and worse yet, as they kill off character after character, they fail to replenish the void left by their absence with new replacement characters. By the last episode of the 3rd season, the cast is literally just the throw away characters trying to carry the episodes. Fun concept out of a great studio, but just falls apart. Looking forward to Covid being a thing in the past so I can have other things to do when season 4 comes out.
