A Princess, an Elf, and a Demon Walk Into a Bar

"Disenchantment" is not the greatest comedy show, the start is a bit rough. The best thing is the voice acting and animation. The pacing is not the best. With weird pauses without any dialogue or music. Mark Mothersbaugh the composer delivers a unique theme. But otherwise than that, the score feels a bit empty. The Humor is mostly lying in the dialogue and imagery. But it just doesn't work very well. I haven't watched "The Simpsons" so it's probably just me. Overall it's fairly enjoyable and entertaining. You can watch it and have a good time.

This ain't no Futurama, that's for sure. Let's hope that the future episodes are better.

I like both Futurama and The Simpsons even though both have gone through rough times so I was looking forward to this new show because both of those were great when they began. This first episode is a great introduction to this new world that we are going to experience. Elfo, Luci, and Bean are great protagonists and this show exceeded expectations. Great first episode and can't waut to watch more

A Princess, an Elf, and a Demon Walk Into a Bar

Well you know it's going to be odd when the opening credits feature several smiling heads mounted on pikes.

Princess Bean doesn't seem to be a very good princess.

"I had the dogs lick me clean. Twice".

That one elf looks just like Lisa Simpson. We think that they might be related.

Stab yourself in the head much?

That guy hides an elf punching bag under his kilt! Cool.

The food at The Kraken Barrel is not what it's cracked up to be.

Why is it? Horses are always neigh sayers?

Groening and his buddies have been past their prime since 2002, and this show seems to be the final nail in their coffin. I don't fault Groening for getting the show on the air and getting himself, and some old friends, one last paycheck but this show is absolutely unwatchable. It is everything that the simpsons would have pilloried in 1993: formulaic, bad jokes, predictable, pretentious, etc.

People will see Groening's name and give it a watch based on that alone and for this I do not blame Netflix for putting it on the air. Having said that I can think of many better ways to spend thirty minutes like staring directly at the sun or lying down in the middle of the 405 during rush hour.
