Nokra Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I know that @Remarkableriots posted this in his SDCC thread but it didn't seem to be getting much attention there. I think this looks great. As someone also commented on reddit, I like a lot that it's serialized, i.e. telling a single story that carries over between episodes, ala Bojack Horseman, one of my favorite recent shows. Considering how much I loved Futurama and that I'm really getting a Fantasy Futurama vibe from this, I can't wait! Also, gotta love the song in the background.

Wild Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 This looks like a lot of fun. It'll be nice to get a send-up of some fantasy tropes the same way Futurama played with SciFi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairslinger Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I miss 20+ episode seasons for shows. I am interested in it, but with a show like this 10 episodes makes me want to wait for a couple seasons before I even start. It's like getting a frustratingly small portion of food for dinner. Sometimes I would rather not eat at all than to just be getting into it and run out Some shows this isn't so bad for. Like Stranger Things or Jessica Jones follows a good arc and plays to the strength of the brevity by avoiding filler. But for an episodic, half hour cartoon comedy feels like we'll hardly get to know the characters before the season ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Metacritic tells me that it's not been reviewed favourably and compares it with the slow opening to Futurama/The Simpsons. I enjoyed the opening of both so I'll add on an imaginary 30 points in my head for enjoyment and quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I've enjoyed some Simpsons and Futurama in the past, but was never a superfan of either. I've watched the first couple episodes of this, and I like it. I'm glad that it's more serialized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Just watched the first 2 episodes and overall have enjoyed. The pace needs to be a bit better but I do like our three main characters and look forward to watch more. Glad to see them keep the funny storefront pun of a name going.

ALIEN-gunner Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 The second episode is MUCH better than the first. It's a pretty good show. I laughed a few times. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 The only aspect I don’t like is some of the audio work. Namely some stock sound effects which just don’t fit overly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Finished it. Overall it’s ok. It started to hit a stride for me in the last two episodes. Hopefully season 2 can continue its momentum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I started this one recently and I've been enjoying it well enough. My biggest impression is that it's not quite yet living up to its potential. It's an easy enough show to watch without focusing on it too much, so I'll finish the 10 episodes.

ort Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Watched about half an episode. It was okay but not good enough for me to make time for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokra Posted August 28, 2018 Author Share Posted August 28, 2018 On a side note, they're really pushing it hard here in Germany. There are posters for it at nearly every single tram stop. Not too surprising I guess since Germans love The Simpsons, so I suppose they're hoping for similar numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elbobo Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I'm three episodes in and not feeling it all so far, I think I've chuckled twice and haven't really laughed at anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurdyb1 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I gave the first episode a try. It was enjoyable for me. The episodes are short enough where I can commit to this and not have it be too heavy of a time commitment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skillzdadirecta Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I watched the whole season... it picks up with episode 4 which I think may be the funniest of the season. I can see continuing to watch this because I think that like Futurama, this may take awhile for people to pick up on. The jokes are really subtle and are very fast. I'm sticking with it because Futurama didn't set the world on fire at first either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they are from the land of chocolate, so... Also, that was referenced in this new show me thinks. Also, also. I'm sticking with it but did not like it thus far.

TwinIon Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I watched the new episodes on the plane yesterday. It's kinda fun, but overall I'd say it's just fine. I'm enjoying the story well enough but it's not all that funny, at least compared to good Simpsons/Futurama. Still, I'll probably keep watching for the time being.

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Compared to early Simpsons and nearly all of futurama, this show is just ok. Most of the time they forgot the write anything funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
