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’m really annoyed at the sentence “And That’s OK” as if I can’t form my own opinion on a topic. Yes, I’m triggered but it’s a useless choice of words for a title.

Yeah first episode was alright, but nothing spectacular, a little too meta in my opinion. I feel like it didn’t have much emotion for the characters, but we’ll see as the next episodes are released
Personally, I feel the episode was subpar. Even when compared to the worst episodes of Comedy Central’s run of the show. That run was rife with Meta humor.
This episode just felt beneath even those IMO. It doesn’t help that it seemed like their was only one good joke that landed which was a 20th century version of binging. The rest fell flat or just gave a slight chuckle.
Overall for me, it was not a good start, but here is hoping the next episodes are better.
This was pretty much my take too. I went in wanting to love it, but it ultimately fell flat for me—even if I didn’t exactly hate it. I re-watched the first four seasons back when it was announced this was coming. So, maybe I did this to myself by setting the bar way too high. I’m still going to give it a chance, hoping the overreliance on meta humor was a one-off, but I’ll be tempering my expectations going forward.
Instructions unclear: David Twitter Cohen?

If someone didn’t like Futurama 20 years ago, does anyone expect those people to start liking it now?
