On The Air: Disenchantment (2018)

Matt Groening has poked fun at families and small town life for over three decades on The Simpsons. In the late 90's, he took a swing at science fiction with the comedy-adventure series, Futurama.

Should anyone be surprised, then, with his latest, Disenchantment?

The Netflix series, which should see some new episodes dropping before the end of the year, skewers the usual tropes of fairy tales and the fantasy genre in general.

A Princess, unhappy with an arranged and planned marriage, finds a way out, thanks to a demon named Luci (Eric Andre) and an exiled elf named, well, Elfo, who, because of exile, has been separated from his girlfriend.

Need we mention that Princess Bean is also a bar hopping rogue?

Check out the trailer:



I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say that if Bean's looking for her true love, it's already there, and leave it go at that.

Rating: A.
