So far the new season has been rather average with a few hits and misses here and there, but this episode specifically was just bad.
It's not out of the norm for Futurama to create a mix of stories and pull them into one episode, e.g. Anthology of Interest, but in this episode specifically they tried to awkwardly gel concepts together in a strange multiverse approach, it almost felt like they were trying to do what Rick and Morty do, but in the worst possible way.
Overall this episode is structurally disappointing, but it also lacks any real laughs to at-least make it entertaining. It's a Farcry from the excellence of the Anthology of Interest episodes of this he past.
I really hope the next episode course corrects.

Norm Macdonald has always been a super unique comedian, his jokes are all about the journey and where the hell he's going to take you with it. If a joke didn't have to end, it wouldn't in, and that's something you've got to admire about his style.
This final farewell from Norm is truly special, much like his style of humour and delivery, he used this to reflect his journey on how the world has changed around him, in amazing style, and expressed his love through it...and in a fashion unlike his usual style, he finally ended the journey, with a beautiful heartfelt farewell to his mother.

The show in general has some interesting sections, and communicates well by introducing people that run/deal with the specific sectors the show covers.
However, a lot of these sections have more to them than the show let's on, but this is par for the course of trying to make things digestible for the masses. (Hopefully it pushes people into reading, and learning more about these subjects)
The worst thing about this series isn't the subjects, the presenter, or its simplistic approach, which overall work fairly ok...the problem is the iffy humour and acting.
Comedy is different to everyone, and I acknowledge that going in, but there is always a point of trying too hard to make someone laugh, that it becomes so in-genuine , of which this show is guilty.
The show uses humour to soften the hard subjects, but the acting mostly can't sell the awful jokes they're supposed to deliver. Although not all the time, I'd say about 80-90% of the time I was cringing, to almost eventually turning it off at point...just wait for the Willy Wonka parody, you'll see what I mean
Overall, and above average documentary on a wide variety of subjects, dragged down to average by its bad humour and iffy acting.
