Disenchantment - Season 2 (2019)

Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2019
Creators: Matt Groening, Josh Weinstein
Actors (voices): Abbi Jacobson, Eric André, Nat Faxon

Genre: Comedy, Animation, Fantasy
Conditions of visioning: October 2019, VOD, 10" tablet screen
Synopsis: In Dreamland our characters Bean, Elfo and Luci have to struggle to get back together, facing many enemies and situations.
Review: I rather liked the first season of Disenchantment, especially where it went towards the end. This entire second season follows this spirit of telling a long story instead of single adventures in each episodes. A few are more independent (like S2E5 Our Bodies, Our Elves) but you can't really watch the season out of order.
So this season is going somewhere, and the characters evolve while they progress in the story, but unfortunately I find it even less funny than the first one, and too repetitive. The drawings and landscapes and animation still look good, and the creators are not short of ideas, but I didn't laugh much.
I almost watched this season to pass time with easy Animation rather than to really get hooked or entertained, and that is not a good thing. Writing this review two months after watching it, I realize I remember very little about it (I had to read the episodes' summary to get some memory back) which is also not good.
A third season is confirmed.
Rating: 4 /10
