FTA-TV Disenchantment

[Bomberboyokay]

The third animated series created by Matt Groening after The Simpsons (1989-present) and Futurama (1999-2013). Being made for Netflix, it may have more swearing and explicit adult themes than those two.



Premieres August 17th.

Matt Groening's first new creation for quite some time, who's watching this?

Have caught the first couple of episodes, the three main (so far) characters are quite likeable in that they all seem to be outsiders or misfits.

Couple of good laughs to be had but I think I need a bit more time for the characters to establish themselves.

The mediaeval setting is something that will attract a lot of viewers, I like, don't love, that aspect. Keeping a keen eye out for some of the funny signs in the village is amusing.

I think Luci is my favourite so far. That, and the subtle emotions conveyed by the way they draw the horses' facial expressions crack me up.

Watched the first 3 episodes so far. Not great, not terrible. I'll watch it out and see how it goes though.

You have to pay attention to this one, lots of little things going on in the background, enjoying it so far

 

[Bluelegs]

Watched the first episode. The soundscape is really putting me off. A lot of the sound effects lack weight and don't really sound like they are a part of the world. It's frustrating as it's something really small that's making it hard for me to enjoy the show.

Whilst the setting is interesting the jokes are awful with most sinking like a stone.

Writers simply aren’t talented enough.

It’s a dud.

Watched pilot and half of Ep 2

Likeable but not bingeworthy

Part 3 drops later today.

Cannot wait. Princess Bean is the best female character Matt Groening has ever created.

I prob need to give this another go.

since part 4 is coming in a few days, is this show worth a look?
