Bubbleblabber’s Definitive Top Twenty Animated Series of 2018
4) Disenchantment
This was something close to ground-breaking – without all the messy shaking up – in that it makes a new blend of theme and format. What we expect from fantasy is drama and ongoing plots ala Game of Thrones. What we expect from an animated sitcom is lovable characters and humour. There is also the morals that Groening’s previous shows, that we look out for our friends and family no matter how dysfunctional they can be. Disenchantment finds an ideal balance between both, and we are genuinely invested in these characters. It’s a wonderful way of storytelling, and it has a talented team of established writers and creators behind it.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
