I was iffy on it at first. But after a few episodes it grew on me. A lot of the jokes fall flat, but it has some good bits as well and i'm enjoying the world and the characters. Hoping it gets better and better.

EDIT: The show is Disenchanment, not Disenchanted. Didn't realize this until much later.

It looks like it could have an interesting story, but the trailer was not funny.

I havent started watching it yet but my dad was watching it when I stopped by his house and the 5-10 minutes I saw had that familiar Matt Groening feel. So I have high hopes.

Didn't even smirk from the trailer. Not going to give it a watch.

it's very meh. if you've got nothing else to do, it's not so bad though. Just don't expect to do more than give a sensible chuckle or a smile here or there.

Thumbs...eh. It hasn't been too funny, but it's likeable enough that I still see the potential it can have.

I've liked what I've seen, but I've been drunk and high when I've watched it. Also, I'm kicking myself for getting one of the voice actors wrong. I was convinced that the little demon guy was voiced by Lucky Yates (Kreiger on Archer) and for some reason could not recognize it was really Eric Andre, which is especially disappointing because I'm a fan of his, so I should have known the difference... or at least waited until I had watched it sober before going to imdb so that maybe I could have corrected myself without having looked it up >_>

I watched half an episode but it was very slow to get going.

Also some of the voices sound like they were ripped from Futurama. I swear the king is Elzar.

That advisor guy who scoops up Bean from the bar to get her ready for the wedding also sounds like a Futurama character (I want to say Walt?).

Only watched a few eps and I feel pretty meh about it. Maybe with more episodes or another season I will feel better about it, but it is never good to feel indifferent to a show after a few eps.

Yeah, that's John DiMaggio. He's also Bender. Billy West (Fry) is in it too, along with Kiff's voice actor, Tress McNeil (she voice acts in a ton of things. She's the "generic grouchy old lady" voice), Eric Andre as I mentioned in the previous post and probably more. I can't remember the elf's voice but I knew who the person was when I looked it up. Mila Kunis I think is the main character. I actually didn't even bother to check that when I looked up the show because I just assumed I was right lol

John DiMaggio gets around anyway so that's not surprising.

It's equally as good as early Futurama. Not amazing but could have potential. Only half the season is up btw, before anyone tries to say anything about the "finale"

I just realized I said Disenchanted and not DisenchanMENT which is the actual title of the show. Lol, d'oh.

And Abbi Jacobson plays Bean, I just looked it up. I wasn't sure either.

It was alright. I like that it wasn't this grand sweeping journey, it was a slice of life show just like Matt Groening's other shows.

If the whole show had been about Bean escaping her wedding, it would have sucked.

Thumbs sideways. It's not great, but it's not awful either. I'll keep an eye out for the next season.

maybe so, but it's sort of a rehash of Futurama so it's not really anything extraordinary for its time

Thumbs down. I would have dropped it if it wasn't a Matt Groening show. I like the animation and the setting, but it just isn't good. I shouldn't get bored watching a cartoon

Overall thumbs up. Just don't go in expecting gut-busting comedy. The characters are very likable though.

So I just finished it, and thumbs slightly up. It started getting better in the last few episodes. The humor improved and so did the plot, though the latter was probably because the characters grew on me.

this. I'm not gonna keep watching it unless future seasons are somehow the bee's knees of animated sitcoms.

Rather rewatch shows I like than watch new stuff I might not like.

The "talking cat" is definitely a fun character.
