The jokes are far more adult than Groening's other work, but also somehow much more immature. For example, in the first episode alone they make endless, cringeworthy jokes about cunnilingus/prostitution/racism/etc. but deliver them in a way that only children would find funny.The voice acting is decent, but it is a shame the characters are so one-sided and the dialogue is so terrible.I think the main plus is the world building, which leaves a lot of room for improvement. It is just that such an improvement should be led by a better team of writers for the regrettably inevitable second season.Clearly people put effort into the show, but too many core elements fall flat for it to work.(I also am a little bit suspicious of the validity of some of the positive reviews here...)

... View MoreIt 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?
