    The pressure to fill the vacuum. I get that too. How are you liking the “new” Futurama? Feels exactly like the old Futurama to me.

      I actually haven’t been impressed yet… I really do hate how EVERY God damn reboot has to be reliant on the same meta humor. Like I know futurama has always had meta humor, but if I have to hear one more God damn joke about crypto, covid, or streaming services I’m going to throw a brick through my TV.

        I get that. First ep laid it on pretty thick. Hopefully it picks up as the season goes on. Still very watchable though even if doesn’t reach the heights that Futurama is known for

      I’ll be honest, the Amy and Kif episode kinda lost me in the back half. I understood what they were going for, but they took Amy to an absolutely annoying extreme, in my opinion.

      Not killed my want to keep watching, but this start has felt a little bit rougher than the others.

      Optimistic. But the first two episodes were forgettable. Hoping it will get better.

        Agreed. The Futurama concept (and voice actors) are super adaptable.

        It’s just that I was way younger than Fry when the show started. Now I’m closer in age to the professor. Maybe Hermes age.

        It’s slightly (to excessively) weird that I’m nostalgic about fish out of water stories set 1000 years in the future that are now dated.
