A comedy-adventure animated series that follows Bean who utilizes her persuasions as a princess to live free. She moves toward becoming liquor fiend and she generally goes on experiences and trips with her companion Elfo. The king endeavors to do his best to take her back on her right side.
Given the abundance of genre tropes they have to work with, it's surprising that Groening and co-developer Josh Weinstein... haven't made Disenchantment a more consistently engaging and entertaining show.
With its depiction of a world ruled by ignorance... coupled with the utter lack of the kind of tenderheartedness that The Simpsons, especially, traffics in, Disenchantment often comes off as blithely mean, even cruel, to its characters.
The push for the shock of the new doesn't always produce good results, but it wouldn't have hurt for Disenchantment to branch out on its own at least a little bit.
What Disenchantment should have done is taken advantage of being on Netflix and gone for a more serialized story, which would help it distinguish itself from Futurama and also help bring it into this century of binge TV.
Still, Groening and company have certainly earned some goodwill, and Disenchantment displays enough progression to ensure that receptive viewers will remain on the couch.
