Disenchantment May Not Enchant Hardcore Fantasy Fans:

"Science fiction author Robert Repino had high expectations for Disenchantment, the
new animated series from Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons and Futurama.
Unfortunately, he was underwhelmed by the show’s early episodes.

“I counted four episodes that ended with a very slow-moving, sloppy, contrived action
scene,” Repino says in Episode 324 of the Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy podcast.

And while Futurama episodes like “The Prisoner of Benda” and “Meanwhile” demonstrate
a sophisticated understanding of science fiction tropes, Disenchantment never shows
much familiarity with the fantasy genre."
