After runs on Fox and Comedy Central, Matt Groening and David X. Cohen’s animated sci-fi comedy leaps into the bold new frontier of streaming.
I liked the “Scary Mirror” reference, but didn’t like the episode overall. Leela encouraging Fry to do such a dumb thing was really out of character. Hoping they get better.
Well also confusing is there’s a joke in the first ep seemingly directing audience to binge “no less” than ten episodes in a row.
I keep seeing references to new episodes (plural) on Hulu but I just see the one, with the next two listed as coming in the next two weeks.

Where are people seing the others?
Personally I found the first 2 seasons much better than the rest. The rest were hit or miss with not so many hits the further the seasons progressed. Not saying they were bad, but the quality of the plots dropped significantly for seasons 4-5.
I haven’t seen it yet, but I know that in the past when they’ve come back from cancellation, the first episode can been very meta and fan-servicey.
Leela: “What about us and our many fans?”
I watched it last night. You hit the nail on the head - it was just like the first episode after the other reboots. Not a bad thing, and I enjoyed it. Still felt like Futurama and the writers continue to respect the continuity of previous seasons, which is something I always appreciate.
The writing also felt pretty sharp still - the characters all acted in line with what I expect from them, and the Hulu/fulu futurama/all my circuits meta parody stuff worked really well.
