  • It was nice to get a new adult animated show that tried to be more than just a raunchy comedy. The plot was intriguing, even if it never really found itself, and the setting was fun and unique.

    Since you liked it you could also check out Krapopolis. It’s a interesting animated comedy set in ancient Greece about creating “civilization” with some pretty big voices.


  • I watched through the end because I was curious where it was going, but I think it got a last season just to wrap things up. Most of the plot lines made no sense or didn’t really get wrapped up.

    It kept feeling like it was building towards something, but it never delivered on any level. Humor was okay, but really shows Groening should stick to an episodic format.


  • I wouldn’t say worst, but maybe greatest difference in expectation vs reality - “My Time at Portia”.

    Cutscenes and voice acting were janky. The UI felt like it was originally an MMO and feels odd for a single player game. The gameplay loop felt tedious and seemed to disrespect the player’s time.

    Maybe I needed to give it more time, but for a game that I thought had generally good/great reviews, it wasn’t clicking for me.

    I don’t think that’s a fair assessment. Stories in the first 5 seasons mostly had a non-current events focus, but admittedly did make references to both current and past events.

    The best episodes are just interesting stories - “Parasite Lost”, “Time Keeps Slippin”, “Hell is Other Robots”.
