Review
Disenchantment is a unique and refreshing take on the fantasy genre. It is full of Groening’s signature humor, but it also has a darker and more serialized tone than his previous works, such as The Simpsons and Futurama.
The characters are complex and well-developed. Bean is a strong and independent female protagonist, Elfo is a naive but lovable goofball, and Luci is a hilarious and mischievous demon. The supporting cast is also excellent, including King Zøg, Bean’s overbearing father, and Queen Oona, her sweet and naive stepmother.
The show is visually stunning, with lush and vibrant animation. The world of Dreamland is rich and detailed, and the characters are all expressively designed.
One of the things that sets Disenchantment apart from other fantasy shows is its willingness to tackle complex themes such as feminism, religion, and politics. The show is not afraid to be provocative, and it often challenges viewers’ preconceived notions about the genre.
Overall, Disenchantment is a well-made and entertaining show that is sure to appeal to fans of fantasy, comedy, and Groening’s previous work.
