It looks pretty, if not obviously stylised, and I applaud the attempt to do something a bit different but...come on, did Netflix request for it to not be funny? It's like they've tried their best to set up the jokes and then got a bunch of five year olds to vote for their favourite punchlines. Or maybe for the first time in my life I just feel too old for this stuff now. Time to learn to play bridge?

I feel they are trying to recapture the magic of Futurama and the drive of The Simpsons. Granted a pilot episode is some what of an ark for the audience to know the characters. But the fact that most of the voice actors come from Futurama leads me to believe they were afraid to take a chance. Which would have been nice. The jokes are strong but lacking in its opportunities. I guess we'll see where it goes.

This could very well be a Groo the Wanderer spin off, the comic by Sergio Aragones. A Netflix original, but hardly original. Jeez, I would live to see Groo to be animated.

It's not bad. But it's not good. I know other people are saying, "well Simpsons and Futurama didn't hit their stride in the first few episodes, it took them a few seasons to really get going." But I just kind of feel the opposite. Like, Simpsons came out in 1989. So they've had almost 30 years to perfect their craft. This show doesn't feel like 30 years in the making. Some of the animation is off, some of the sound design is off. There are scenes where characters are walking and there are no walking sound effects, scenes where someone gets hit with a sword and there are no swinging or clashing sound effects. There is a bar fight scene, where you can only really hear the character's voices, there is barely any background noise at all. The writing feels really bland. All of the jokes are really expected, and most of them fall flat. Overall, this show is not bad, but it certainly isn't Simpsons, nor is it Futurama. Maybe it will hit it's stride later but currently I don't think it's worth watching.
