Featured review
A little too familiar, but relatable return.
The second return from hiatus episode once again relies too much on fourth wall breaking. The writers are very much focused on poking fun at their multiple cancellations and renewals. It's hard to say whether this Hulu run will improve upon the Comedy Central seasons. However, the run time has returned to 24 minutes(instead of 21), allowing for less rushed storytelling. Hopefully the likely budget increase will allow for a return to form of the first 5 seasons. If they were able to retain most of the original staff while being given time to craft less spur of the moment ideas, this revival certainly has potential. My advice would be taking a more back to basics approach. We rarely saw Planet Express making deliveries in the Comedy Central run, so the spirit of adventure was lost in favor of more regular topical humor. Although some of the episodes this season seem to be centered around current events, others seem to be direct sequels to the original run. Whenever the Hollywood writer and actor strike lifts, I would advise the crew to think "creative reboot" and craft imaginative sci-fi stories with less of the series' established tropes. After all, looking to the future doesn't mean revisiting the past.
