More Critic Reviews for Disenchantment Season 1 All Critics (86) | Top Critics (25) | Fresh (53) | Rotten (33) The results are positive, the story is fun, there are laughs to be had and the show brings the subtlety and wit we have come to expect from Groening's creations. May 28, 2019 | Rating: B+ | Full Review… Sam Mossman Arizona Republic Top Critic Boldly different to Groening's other work, while looking and feeling familiar. It's short of greatness, but engaging enough to warrant returning for season 2. Aug 31, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review… Matt Neal ABC Radio (Australia) Top Critic Disenchantment is incredibly green as a show and it's still finding its feet. It's a new show from another time in every sense of the word. Aug 29, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review… Amelia Navascues Triple J Top Critic The jokes are stale, their set-ups are mundane, the plot is predictable, the execution is rarely inspired. Aug 20, 2018 | Rating: C+ | Full Review… Ben Travers indieWire Top Critic Disenchantment is a pleasant and pleasing show that you'll happily pass a Saturday afternoon with. But it's no The Simpsons. Aug 19, 2018 | Full Review… Wenlei Ma News.com.au Top Critic Fans of both The Simpsons and Futurama - particularly those who have continued to stick doggedly by The Simpsons well past its best years - will find something to enjoy here. Aug 17, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… Catherine Gee Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic It's a letdown to realize Groening has reduced this epic opportunity to a mere game of moans. May 28, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Matt Roush TV Insider Groening's characters always come equipped with plenty of charm, and while it is not instantly apparent in Disenchantment, you will find yourself rooting for them come the final episode. May 28, 2019 | Full Review… Liam Hoofe Flickering Myth The trademark humor is there, with plenty of visual gags to dissect on shop signs and background details, but it's too restrained and pedestrian to make a series like this pop. May 28, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… Adam Starkey Metro (UK) The episodes are bloated and while this is a fairly common problem across the Netflix catalogue, it feels particularly detrimental here as there is not nearly enough plot to keep our attention, nor enough jokes to make the excess time feel worthwhile. May 28, 2019 | Full Review… Ben Allen Radio Times View All Critic Reviews (86) Audience Reviews for Disenchantment: Season 1 4d ago Way underrated. Lots of folks have been unfairly comparing this show with the Simpsons. However, it's very much its own thing. The humor is contemporary and adult but also gives a nod to classic shtick. The voice cast is superb and the plot actually builds up throughout the season and pays off. Anyone who enjoys adult animation (but closer to PG-13 adult, as opposed to the hard R adult of say, Big Mouth) and a good send-up of fantasy tropes should enjoy Disenchanted. Christopher B Aug 07, 2019 In theory a Simpsons- or Futurama-esque show set in a medieval fantasy world should be great, but in practice it falls flat. Most of the cast is unlikeable, including the main character, and in a character-based comedy that spells death. There is too much plot for the jokes they're telling, and a lot of the setup for the situations doesn't really make sense, so the impact of the satire it's going for is lost. Some improvements on the animation style from the Simpsons are all that this show has going for it. Closest Comparison: It does to Futurama what American Dad did to Family Guy. Setting: Fantasy Plot: Adventure Tone: Comedy Christian B Aug 02, 2019 Better than Simpsons or Futurama to me. Chris D May 01, 2019 Awesome show I loved the classic Simpson humor with a fairytale twist Lucas D Apr 11, 2019 No charm, all the jokes play it too safe. The characters are flat and boring. It all feels very formulaic as if it was written by a committee. Visuals are very nice though. Mar 18, 2019 I loved the series. She is funny, sometimes serious, sometimes a little dark, sometimes romantic, stress, etc. But there are but boring episodes that do not promote the plot or personality of the characters or anything else. Without a doubt a brilliant series worth seeing D.RShviro S Mar 06, 2019 An edgier attempt from the Groening brand. Still funny, campy, worth watching. Benjamin M Feb 06, 2019 The first time through the show I enjoyed it, but what has really made it amazing is going back through and picking up on all the small jokes, intellectualizes, and the under lying story line. Fans of fantasy should see this show. Brendan B Feb 03, 2019 Great show! Absolutely love the satire that the Futurama crew and cast bring to the show. Laughed and cried through the whole thing! Can't wait til season 2, and hope it keeps going! A real intelligent introspection on society and religion and modern problems. Matt Groening and crew are geniuses! Belle D Jan 28, 2019 I love everything about the show. From the screenplay to the fun and unique music, to the character development...it's my new favorite TV show.
