I just watched the first episode of the new Futurama season and the running gag was their attempt to make fun of the Hulu streaming network (Fulu)… in the year 3023. Not only that, but they also parody Black Mirror which itself parodies Netfix (Streamberry) in their latest season.

What is up with all of this meta stuff? Does anyone actually enjoy it? Is this really the quality of TV prior to AI taking over the writing?

I feel like an old man yelling at the clouds right now ☁️, but look at how they massacred my boy, Futurama!

    Wow I really had the exact opposite reaction, I thought it was great. Heartbreaking and unexpected. If you enjoyed the rest of season 1 you will probably enjoy season 2, the ending is very different to s1 and a bit more mind-bending.

        I wasn’t sold after season 1, but went back a little after season 3 was released and watched it through. I ended up really enjoying it, just not as much as the rabid fan people.
