    Hey everyone,

    I just began watching the Netflix Original Disenchantment. I've watched the first 4 episodes and I have greatly enjoyed them. You might know the author, Matt Groening, Simpsons & Futurama creator.

    What do you think about Disenchantment? Have you watched it, will you watch it?

    I know that ThreeOfSeven has a profile picture from the series Wink

    I watched the first three episodes and I wasn't a fan. I felt an immediate connection to Futurama but that didn't happen with Disenchantment. Maybe I'm judging it unfairly so I'll give it a few more episodes.

    I've watched the first 5 episodes and my opinion can be summed up in one word:

    Meh.

    This could have been so much more, but it's trying to hard to be something it isn't. It's not Simpsons, Futurama, or Family Guy. Sure there are funny bits (The 'mermaid' scenes were good), but yeah... meh.

    Seen a couple (maybe 3?) episodes and the animation looks very high quality i must say. Story wise there's just something about it that's a bit, meh? Not quite sure what.

    I do like the silly gags in the background and some of the secondary characters are quite amusing (anything Matt Berry touches is gold in my books!), plus it seems to be having fun with literally every single fantasy trope out there so there's that.

    The main character is just annoying really. She's not quite a Homer Simpson level of slob, but she is clearly being pushed too hard to be a sort of anti-heroine. Just let her have adventures without constantly reminding her shes a princess who like a drink and goes to bar fights.

    I'll keep watching though I reckon.

    I like the main character, she's funny, and I like the way she is drawn, the buck teeth make her stand out, she also drinks and I like drinks. She's not really a slob though, more a socialite, although she just seems to want to act like the average person, which is hard since her farther kills anyone she sleeps with!

    It's really what I expected from Matt Groening though, they all follow similar stories, and tropes, which is his style and something I like to watch. It's just goofy, light viewing, and anyone looking for a deeper experience is probably looking in the wrong area! Even for goofy fun though, the characters have more depth to them than some shows.

    I watched the first episode. Animation quality is good and what I expect of something released with today's technology.

    As what has been said above a few times... I find the humor hit and miss. I get it, but as Aceman illustrated well, it is trying too hard. Nothing really has grabbed my attention in this first episode, which a first episode needs to do. Yet, I feel like I have filed it into the "well, when I get time maybe..." category which means likely may not watch it again.
