      future dude j this season is a perfect introduction to the show i wish there was more plot than filler but its only the first season Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/03/23 Full Review Sarah Caroline B A clever exploration of the repercussions of fleeing the present only to find oneself in a future that strangely mirrors our current reality. Packed with sharp and humorous misinterpretations of our contemporary world, this series is a delightful gem that merits revisiting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/24/23 Full Review Joo A Maybe one of the best shows on TV ever.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/06/23 Full Review Andrew A Futurama is an outstanding animated series that never fails to delight its audience. With its clever humor, well-developed characters, and imaginative storyline, it consistently delivers an enjoyable and entertaining viewing experience.

      Mike Duffy Detroit Free Press Thanks to Matt Groening's freewheeling, signature impertinence, Futurama is a fresh jolt of astute cartoon lampoon. Rated: 3/4 Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Matt Buchanan Sydney Morning Herald Futurama makes for spectacularly conventional, unimaginative sci-fi. And it's barely funny, even for a pilot or the more narrowly focused sci-fi spoof it threatens to evolve into. Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Misha Ketchelll The Age (Australia) It whips along at a cracking pace, fueled by spanking new ideas, smart one-liners, visual gags and the obligatory cheeky references. Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News Like much of Futurama, the gimmicks sound funnier than they are. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Tom Jicha South Florida Sun-Sentinel Futurama isn't even a mild chuckle. At its best moments -- there haven't been many -- it's a slight smile. This isn't a rash judgment: Futurama wasn't funny on opening night; it didn't improve second time out, and it was no better [this week]. Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Martin Renzhofer Salt Lake Tribune Thankfully, Groening does not try to rip himself off. The only traits Futurama shares with The Simpsons are the same creativity and zany look at life. Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
