Disenchantment

[Cosmic]

Disenchantment is a new Netflix series created by Matt Groening, the creator of Futurama and the Simpsons. It’s set in a fantasy world, and follows the rebellious Bean. Her favorite pastimes include partying, drinking, and occasional adventuring, despite her unfortunate circumstance of being born a princess.

I like it! I’m mostly through the first season. The reviews aren’t unanimous on this, but I think it’s just as good as Futurama.

I saw it for the first time yesterday, and it instantly reminded me of Futurama so I had to do some digging to see who created it etc. Good to see something like this once again.

Yep 😀 Futurama is also one of my favorite shows.

Minor, non-plot spoilers for Disenchantment episode 10

Spoiler

There's a scene where luci is rewinding time. Ghost images can be seen of characters who were in a particular room. For a couple frames, which is almost impossible to notice without stepping through the video very slowly, there is a quick glimpse of the time machine from a Futurama episode, including Fry, Bender, and the professor.

(This is my screenshot. I read a blog post about this frame, but had to verify for myself because I was pretty surprised).

Apparently, it can be argued that Disenchantment is in fact in the Futurama universe, taking place either during the dark ages as advertised, or between the years 2000 and 3000 when Fry was frozen. There were a couple medieval societies that were shown during the "time passing" animation from Futurama episode 1 and later revisiting of that moment.

So, yeah. This is in the futurama universe. 😱

Started watching it yesterday. I actually did a survey a while back on it which is why I started watching it when it came out. Loving it so far.
