Anyone watching the new season of Futurama?

I watched. prepared to hate. but so far i like.

Oh it's out already? July really flew by didn't it.

Never watched the series growing up and only started for the 1st time earlier this year. Currently watching season 3.

My heart sunk a little too when I saw news of the reboot. No way this isn't gonna be a desperate cashgrab that ruins the show's legacy, I thought. I'm surprised now to learn that I may well be wrong about that. :)

I dunno. As far as I remember it had a nice ending. So, given all the cashgrab we see in the industry, I'm not hoping for much. But perhaps I'll be wrong. Still, not a fan of reviving shows that ended (like had a clear end), so gonna be interesting to see how it's justified.

Also, reading some of the episode titles, seems some will be about topics that are not relevant anymore, or at least not on the same level, like the bitcoin mining, binging lots of shows (which was done during Covid mostly) and vaccines. Getting cancelled is still a thing, so I guess that is still very much relevant.

Don't have Disney+ so I won't be watching the new series but I'm somewhat optimistic and hopeful that it could retain the same quality that made it one of my faves. It did the first time it was brought back. And the second. (gosh, how many shows have this many lives!?) Here's hoping the Disney influence is kept at bay for a while, it tends to tarnish things....(Bambi live action? Seriously? 😱)
It was such a breath of fresh air when it first aired for me; I had thought it would just be the Simpsons in space but it turned out to be a well written, funny and often emotional take on not just sci-fi tropes but wider issues in general (as any good sci-fi should).
Oh, and totally nerdy 🤓. But it was never a slave to nerddom, nor vicious, but always respectful to the paths treaded by others (the s4 Star Trek episode ties with Galaxy Quest for me as the best examples of giving a respectful nod while poking fun at the same time)
I've never understood that this show, with it's great characters and meme-able content, has struggled so much to stay afloat while shows like the Simpsons seem set to outlast Western Civilisation itself. (They should really think about calling it a day....while it's still remembered somewhat fondly)

I adore the first 4 seasons, but didn't care for it much after that. I'm hesitant to watch this new season, but I'm sure at some point I'll check it out. I don't like it when shows get too topical, and from the trailer I saw it looks like this will be super heavy with that. I just want to watch nice stories about the human condition; stuff that I can view years later and get the same feelings.

Nope. haven´t watched Bender in possibliy decades ..

thx for the gib ,)

No. They ended it on a perfect note and had NO reason or way for a continuation.

There's a new season? :O

The first time it came back it was worse than the original series, the second time it came back it was worse than the 4 TV movies. I'll pass this time, how much worse can it get?

I love Futurama but I had no idea there was a new season going on, to me the ending was kinda definitive, and I really don't care about streaming services either, Thanks for the heads up, OP. Even if it's "meh" it will be good to revisit the series while I wait for more Disenchantment.
