Good news everyone! Futurama is returned once again to satirize the future and the present, and it’s only slightly out of date doing it. There are a few things to say about the show, but let’s get this out of the way first: it’s still Futurama, and if you liked Futuramabefore then you are likely going to continue liking Futurama now. The sense of humor remains much the same; the characters are still on point and well-performed, and the animation style is great. Most of the things you love about the show are there, and I think you’ll probably like it.
That being said, this new season is not exactly a perfect return to form where the writing is concerned. Of the episodes that I have seen -the first six of the season, the first of which has already aired- there aren’t any real duds, but there aren’t any all-time classics either. There are some great ideas, sure, and in particular, I liked one episode that is a mashup of Squid Game and a classic Star Trek episode, but that also betrays the main problem with the season: almost every reference feels at least a year or two out of date.
