I am excited for a new season but I hope it doesn't "raise my expectations and dash them expertly" like Disenchantment did.

What's your thoughts?

I don't know whether this will be controversial, but I enjoyed Disenchantment. I also enjoy the vast majority of Futurama.

I'm not sure they can recapture the lightening in a bottle of the early seasons, but I still think it'll be good.

I too loved Disenchantment. But hate Netflix's handling of it.

Netflix handles everything terribly. They got someone in a top position that loves scripted reality TV and are going the route of the history channel and TLC.

I can't wait. I really, really hope it's not a letdown, but I've yet to be let down by the show. I don't still watch it to fall asleep almost every night... Lol

You know when a band you love that broke up 30 years ago reform and release an album, and it's always a bit bland and just doesn't hit in the same way?

Well...

Just let us have this for now!

My main concern is Billy West. The man is in his seventies now. Will he be able to pull off the Fry and Zapp voices or will it be like Julie Kavner trying to voice Marge post season 30?

They can probably just generate his lines using the existing content.

I expect it to be a letdown, just hope not a super huge one.
