While I do enjoy this show, I think the running time’s a bit of a problem. There’s no reason the show needs to be a full half hour per episode and for an animated show it’s particularly unnecessary because it kills the pacing. It just feels like they’re trying to take advantage of the fact they’re on Netflix and don’t have to worry about scheduling rather than something that’s actually beneficial to the show.
 
This show was short enough that I gave the entirety of it a fair shake. I would be lying if I said I never laughed once... There were a few laughs... Most were pity laughs though..

This season ends on a cliff hanger... It was not a particularly *good* cliff hanger... (The season actually ends with pretty much everyone in a shitty situation) But I do believe that every single character got exactly what they deserved, and am ultimately happy with the ending... I doubt I will watch any additional seasons.
 
I went to watch the review of disenchantement and almost all of the comments were referring this show as a sjws propaganda because of the message. As for the show itself, it's okay not a classic but not a disappointment like what 99% of the cartoon community keep telling me about.

Ask the internet and any media which doesn't look like an NSDAP rally is "SJW propaganda"

I just watched half the season so far, and it's not bad, I enjoy the skewed nature of it, even if the jokes come pretty fast and furious at times. Perhaps it works for a certain mindset that goes for something like this.

Best way I can describe it is it's cute. Not as sharp as Futurama or early Simpsons but there's something there for people who like twisted humor.
 
It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Squeezed a few laughs out of me and I'm interested to see where it goes next season, but I was put off by the Gryphon moment. It felt weird and out of place. Also as was mentioned the sound design was so flat, it felt unfinished.
The three main leads did remind me somewhat of the Futurama trio-
Bean was like Leela: a tough girl who is good at fighting
Elfo was like Fry: naive and goofy, in love with the lead female
Luci was like Bender: mean and cruel, funny, but a terrible influence.
But other than that they were different enough.
Zog was definitely my favorite character.
 
I'm two and a half episodes in and I'm just not feeling the comradery between the main characters. I like the lead just fine, Elfo is inconsistent as fuck, and Lucy is... well, Lucy is cute I guess? He's no Bender or Bart.

An entitled, selfish, Sweet Dee-esque trainwreck would be more fun to watch and provides a lot more comedy opportunity. Like, imagine if her drinking problem was so bad her personal demon had to stage an intervention.

This is actually what I expected to happen. The Evil Sorceress (who let's face it is probably just Bean's mom, I haven't gotten that far yet but it's what I expect) sends this demon to "corrupt" her but she's already so rebellious that he ends up being the voice of reason.

Bean's dumb half fish person brother is serious wasted potential. He could be this show's Gene Belcher but we almost never see him.
 
I think what this show really needs is a better editor. So many of the jokes just don't land properly and there's hardly any consistency.
 
Finished watching the first 4 episodes; nowhere near as bad as I'd thought they'd be. I wanna fuck that lil demon tho. He's cute.

EDIT: I was a bit drunk when I watched these episodes, so that might have hindered my preception of them
 
I was waiting for a joke the whole time. Nothing funny seems to happen, so it just seems like a bunch of terrible people doing terrible things. lol he got stabbed, lol he has swords in his eyes, lol he died, lol he died. They sure kill a lot of people. And ended up killing her first fiance and tried to kill her second fiance, because I want to drink and get high and then rob my family tomb?

The Princess calls out others for only caring about themselves, then the next scene she does the exact same thing, and no one even acknowledges it or even cares. I'm just wondering why I should even care what happens to them, they could all die in an episode and be replaced and I wouldn't give a crap. How is Elfo the "good" and "happy" one when he was banging the Elders daughter on the side and got cast out for being sad? It's like his character just changes to fit scene to scene.

Elfo is "good" and "happy" by the standards of the miserable world he wandered into. In Elf-land he was a mopey weirdo but by human standards that's still quite cheery.
 
Just got back from rewatching it. It's just a watered down version of Shrek with Matt Groening's artstyle. We're all the jokes about subverting typical fairy tale character archetypes could've have landed but all have same structure (mainly with Bean and wanting independence wants to be "more than just a princess", which reminds me Merida's plot from Brave but with mommy issues instead of daddy issues like with Bean) I get that people who likes the show will defend the show of what it means, but to me imo it's just the same why how people will defend the shows flawed writing. (Like with most people I know will usually defend a cartoon with no conflict or plot will say it's slice of life it doesn't need to be taken seriously)

I was thinking that, and then when he went out into the human world he reacted to war the same as most character in the show react to everything around them, indifference. The lady drowning in the carriage, indiference, like the others. They allude that Elfo is like Beans "concience" but most of the time he's just spineless and agreeable because he wants to tap Bean. He takes drugs and gets drunk with the rest of them. He just tends to respond in a more cheerful tone.

It's like they said, "Okay, everyone loves Bender right? What if Bender was split into 3 characters, and then got a show just about them! OMG I am so smrt this is gonna be so funny XD"
