I am excited for a new season but I hope it doesn't "raise my expectations and dash them expertly" like Disenchantment did.

What's your thoughts?

I don't know whether this will be controversial, but I enjoyed Disenchantment. I also enjoy the vast majority of Futurama.

I'm not sure they can recapture the lightening in a bottle of the early seasons, but I still think it'll be good.

I too loved Disenchantment. But hate Netflix's handling of it.

Netflix handles everything terribly. They got someone in a top position that loves scripted reality TV and are going the route of the history channel and TLC.

Got in not expecting much but had great fun. It really scratched that futurama itch. Too bad it looks dead :-(

Last I heard there's one more season to wrap it up. It was in post back in February. That may have changed though because I don't keep close track.

I liked Disenchantment, but not as much as I hoped I would. As it is a separate entity from Futurama, it deserves it's own flavors. They just didn't hit my palate the way Futurama does.

Disenchantment was a lot of fun. The moment to moment jokes were pretty solid and enjoyable. I frequently think about the joke "Brave-o" the elf got scared and became "Bravo" the elf of opera. LOL

But the story never pulled me in enough to actually finish the show. I'd always drop out mid season. Not because it was bad or boring. But just because I'd get distracted.
