Man Disenchantment just can’t get it together. The first 3 episodes are fantastic too. They keep over-complicating and papering over things that spin out of control. I don’t know if the Groening team just can’t handle a serialized show or what it is, but the show just never comes together. They abandon every thread that’s interesting too!
I kept watching until this latest season. I keep saying “unless this one is good I’m done,” and they just don’t quite get there. It’s a consistent C+.
This most recent season is the last, so you might as well finish it off. It doesn’t really get better from what I’ve seen, though. It’s a weird thing where I like the setting and characters well enough, but not the plot. It’d make a great video game.
I wanted so much more from Disenchantment, which is ironic in retrospect. The writing just felt like Mr. Baggins’ morning toast with too little butter scraped across it. Each season could be compressed down to a movie with very punchy dialogue and good comedy beats. Instead, it’s kind of a drawn out slog where the animation is doing a lot of heavy lifting for most scenes.

Elfo’s change from what they set up in the first episodes was very disappointing. He was great.

I hate Disenchantment because I like Bean and I don’t like seeing her suffer.
