When Futurama is good, it's really, really good, and "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" is one of those "really good" episodes. Go to Full Review
Genevieve Koski AV Club 04/19/2018
And as far as codas go, it doesn't get much better than Fry's squeaky, beginner-level holophoner sendoff, which I'll always at least partly consider Futurama's final bow. Go to Full Review

In its final moment, Fry plays for Leela with his own hands, at her request: the result is a story told clumsily and not always well, but with passion and love. I can't think of a better note to end on. Go to Full Review
Mark Rozeman Paste Magazine 04/19/2018
To this day, the final image of a crudely drawn Fry and Leela walking hand-in-hand into the sunset remains perhaps one of the most heartwarming images in television history. Go to Full Review
Scott Meslow The Week 04/19/2018
Futurama's first series finale is still its best, demonstrating the show's deft balance of absurdist, gag-heavy comedy and unexpected poignancy. Go to Full Review

8/10
Though there were some shaky moments early on, the new episodes of Futurama ultimately reminded us why we wanted the series back so badly in the first place. Go to Full Review

Khaztiel Delbod D @khaztielddenver_ Sep 10 Esta temporada me entretuvo más que la anterior pero siento que los episodios tienen que tener más originalidad porque ya me está pareciendo más de lo mismo. See more Flynn S @Flynn194 Sep 3 Really good! This season is the best of Futurama and has a lot of great episodes! See more David W 09/04/2024 Futurama’s fifth season is a solid classic in the series and features some moments that have made it into broader popular culture. I would absolutely re-watch this season, except for the ‘Jurassic Bark’ episode, which I have vowed to never watch again. See more David C @David617 08/24/2024 Los capítulos son cada vez más graciosos y chistosos See more Spencer P @s_plewe 10/10/2023 [Every website keeps splitting this show in randomly different seasons, so I'll just repost my Season 4 review here to catch up] Taking a turn for weirder and bolder stories, Season 4 adds an impressive new dimension of episode possibility to this animated comedy, while also giving life-changing answers to its characters. See more Cody W @Cwalton1994 08/21/2023 The fifth season of FUTURAMA really delivers the goods, with so much comedy that will make you laugh out loud and have a really good time.
