Futurama: The Impossible Stream (2023)
Very solid
This episode is a very solid return to form for the iconic series Futurama, which is a bit surprising, considering the last episode aired over a decade ago. It leaned pretty heavily on meta jokes about cancellation and revival (especially in the post-credit scene) but had other good jokes hidden within. It already feels classic and quotable, just like an episode from the original run. The fact that this is just a reintroduction to the series makes me very excited for the episodes that aren't yet out.
Besides, any episode involving the great Calculon and his UNHOLY ACTING TALENT is worthy of a thumbs up from me.
Futurama (1999)
Just Fabulous!
The fact that this show only has an overall score of 8.5/10 is absolute slander, so I'm just writing this review to bring it up. Lots of people say that it's like the Simpsons in space, but I disagree. The humor is distinctly different (better?) than the Simpsons, the themes and characters are different, and Futurama can tug at those heartstrings in a way the Simpsons never could. And I'm saying all this as a lifelong Simpsons fan.
I can't wait for the new season premiere to come out July 24th! Hopefully it will still have the quality that made us fall in love with this show in the first place.
