Disenchantment

What can you expect from the creators of The Simpsons and Futurama other than infantile humor and a lot of allusions to contemporary pop culture. All taking place in the medieval fantasy kingdom of Dreamland. Personally, though, I rather enjoyed this. The first series was fumbling a bit, so half of the episodes presented separate stories, just like in case of The Simpsons, but the other half started a framing story, which was a fortunate decision on the creator’s part. Even though it’s strange to watch an animated series that develops a continuous story, this is definitely a success. I chilled, had fun, grew fond of the characters and especially enjoyed the beautifully animated kingdom, which would take your breath away even if you didn’t like the story and characters. So in short, I had a great time and am looking forward to more episodes. (29.03.2020)

Here we have the last epoch not yet explored by Groening. An eternally inebriated princess and her friends on their voyage to find the truth, happiness and money. Even though it gets going slowly, it is a very pleasant affair. A lot of it is unoriginal, but full of spirit. The best characters are definitely Luci and Elfo. The finale of the first season leaves everything horribly open. Elfooooo! This means that the first season was just the first half of the series... In terms of quality, it begins to improve in the second half, whether that involve the journey to hell or the steam-punk kingdom, which I hope there will be more of, but every so often a weak episode appears just to fill space. You get to like the characters more and more with each new episode. Elfo rocks with the peeler! (24.09.2018)

Wie ist die neue Serie von Matt Groening? Anders. Es handelt sich nicht um die Simpsons oder Futurama, sondern um eine mittelalterliche Satire für Netflix. Werden eine Prinzessin, die vom Altar weggelaufen ist, ihr persönlicher Dämon und eine Elfe wirklich die ganze Serie tragen können? Obwohl die Animationsqualität großartig ist, ist der Humor bei weitem nicht für jeden geeignet. (31.03.2019)

Nach zwei Staffeln muss ich sagen, dass diese Serie wirklich toll ist. Sie liebt und parodiert die Fantasy, der Humor ist verrückt schwarz und vor allem… Und vor allem hat die Serie eine richtige Handlung, die alle Episoden verbindet und die Serie seriöser wirken lässt. Bei Final Space hat mich die erste Staffel begeistert, die zweite hat meinen Eindruck verdorben. Disenchantment wird immer besser und ich kann die nächsten Folgen kaum erwarten. (11.01.2020)
