Flynn S @Flynn194 Sep 4 About 5 episodes that were decent and the rest were not great, but this season is still is enjoyable and has good moments.Definitely not as good as the earlier seasons. See more David W 11/12/2024 Futurama’s eighth season at times feels like a mismatch of callbacks to old fan favorites. However, a few key episodes deliver the show’s characteristic heart in a fresh new way, and for that, I would absolutely watch this season again. See more Matt A 03/24/2024 As an award-winning TV show that defies the norm, Futurama Season 8 is a welcome resurrection. It offers fans a unique blend of intergalactic adventures and offbeat humor. While it may not revolutionize its genre, the return of these beloved characters is a refreshing testament to the show's enduring appeal. In a landscape where long-running animated series like The Simpsons have shown signs of fatigue, Futurama Season 8 stands tall, proving it still has plenty of fuel left in its tank. It's a compelling argument that creators should shift their focus from the overextended Springfield to the futuristic world of New New York, a testament to the show's ability to stay fresh and relevant. Season 8 fearlessly embraces the absurdity that has become synonymous with Futurama. From its trademark blend of cool sci-fi narratives to its brilliantly creative humor, each episode delivers a mix of laughter, awe, and even heartfelt moments (cue the tears with the unforgettable "Jurassic Bark" episode). However, even as the show boldly ventures into new territory, it's not without its flaws. A half star must be deducted for its overreliance on topical gags, a misstep that feels out of place in a series set a millennium ahead of our time. While such humor may work for contemporaneous shows like The Simpsons and South Park in Futurama, these references often feel forced and disrupt the flow of the narrative. Despite this, these episodes serve a purpose, acting as necessary stepping stones to appreciate the show's true strengths: its timeless sci-fi tales. Ultimately, Futurama Season 8 is a testament to the series' enduring charm and creativity. While it may occasionally stumble with its attempts at relevancy, its core essence remains untarnished. As long as there are worlds left unexplored and laughs yet to be had, there will always be a place for Fry, Bender, Leela, and the rest of the Planet Express crew in the hearts of fans everywhere.
