I expect Futurama, but Medevil setting, with a season-long story arc.Might as well stay up the extra hour to watch the first episode of this. I'm not really sure what to expect to be honest. I do like Matt Groening and Eric Andre though so I hope it's good.
Why? It's an original. Should be worldwideI'm guessing this will only be available on US Netflix, right?
Not a frequent Netflix user so I'm not really sure what their worldwide content release policy is for Netflix originals. Thanks for the clarification!
Who knows they could be right, but i typically never listen to reviews of first seasons for tv shows. especially animated ones, bojack being one of the big reasons like you stated.55 Metacritic oof
Here's hoping it's a Bojack Horseman situation where it gets better half way through the season.
I liked the short introductions for the characters so I'll definitely give this a try!
I thought it was a fun callback. :)Less than 10 minutes in and there's already a hackneyed rehash of a Simpsons joke. Not a good sign...
I'm enjoying it more than I expected from the trailers. I love the elf names.

Nice Simpsons joke callback.
thats what I was thinking, I feel the reviewers are waiting for laughs every second of the show and going "that's not funny! Man the first 10 seasons of the simpsons were great because they always made me laugh!" Which I could easily point out to them, there was a lot of moments where I didn't laugh for 15 minutes. It's weird how their mind told them what the simpsons and Futurama really were, they were their best when they took their time for jokesFirst Episode seemed good to me. Most of the criticism certainly seems to fall along the lines of "the jokes seem more muted" or "there weren't that many big laughs."
I'd disagree, personally. Seemed like there was plenty of quality humor to me, but of course it's going to have to share space with a slightly more sentimental ongoing story.
Both aspects seem solid so far, though, and I think the critics forget how often Futurama and The Simpson's could be the same (one could say a big problem with recent Simpsons is the lack of sentimentality that helped define the earlier seasons).
I guess it just bothers me when critics, of all people, try to shoehorn a creator's work into a neatly defined cubby, especially when he and Weinstein are attempting something intended to be a little different from their perceived norm.
E.g. Groening's "that animated comedy guy" so why am I not laughing every five seconds?!
Let the show breathe a bit my dudes. What's there is already good. Could end up great.
I will say this though, it's biggest flaw by far is that it seems Quiet? Like not nearly enough sound either through sound effects or score
