Despite Disenchantment falling short of expectations, it's not a bad show by any measure. Unlike Groening's past features, it tells an overarching, albeit rushed, story, pouring a solid amount of character development into Abbi Jacobson's lead, Bean with other standout characters including Eric Andre's Luci and John DiMaggio's King Zog. The animation is hit or miss, with some beautiful backgrounds being squandered by jarring 3-D cuts and poor character designs. The humor also fails to find a consistent foothold due to odd joke timing and sound mixing. But overall, I look forward to seeing plot developments and new characterization in Season 2.
