Matt Berry was excellent as the Prince. He is probably best known as Douglas Reynholm from the IT Crowd. (at least in the US)

I stayed watching because of him. It internally cracked me up and kept thinking of the IT crowd…His best scene “I was born in Iran”
I’m up to episode 5 and so far I love it. It’s fun recognizing the voice actors.
Third episode was a huge, huge uptick in quality. I’m stunned. I laughed through he whole episode.
I highly recommend getting through to the third one.
Boring. Poor voice acting. Lame characters. I think I lasted 20 minutes. Awesome art and 3-D-ness, for the most part tho.
Good for a laugh. I don’t like the voice characterization of the king, though.
It’s mediocre and doesn’t feel all that interesting until the last few episodes. I think it’s worth the wait, though.
The setup for Season 2 is pretty interesting. I strongly suspect that Season 2 will be much better than most of Season 1 was.

Watched 4-6 today. It is getting stronger, but still on the slow side.
I like that it’s a long serial arc rather than episodic. There are a few laughs. However, it’s not engaging me as much as the first season of either The Simpsons or Futurama.
Constantly hearing John DiMaggio do the same voice as he did for Mr. Panucci and Maurice LaMarche doing the same that he did for Walt (and some other minor characters) is driving me nuts.
It’s like a Mr. Panucci mixed with Archie Bunker.
I couldn’t get through the second episode, it just feels like a Futurama retread.
Uh yeah, the ending was a big WTF?
Elfo dies!!!:eek:
They missed a good joke though near the end.
When she said she’d wish she could see Elfo one more time, they should’ve had his corpse float by.
Kind of weak overall, but I thought it ended strong.
There’s also a crazy easter egg in the last episode, when Luci is rewinding the crystal ball.
There’s a brief image of the Futarama gang from the episode where they were traveling through time in the Professor’s forward-only time machine. That means Disenchanted is somewhere in Futurama’s far future (or possibly past, but that seems less likely)!
There’s a brief post-credits scene at the end of ep 10.
This show improved a lot as it went and I think that is totally reasonable. I will definitely watch the second half of the season when it hits.
Yep, looks to be important.
Interesting. Easy to miss because it is squeezed between the American credits and the furren credits.
Re: your spoiler:
Our future and their past is possible. When Fry went into the cryo chamber in 1999, and the world sped up in the window behind him, as I recall at one point New York was blasted to bits by flying saucers. Then trees grew, and a castle popped up. The castle was then blasted by the saucers, and New New York was built in the aftermath. So, maybe it’s in that middle period?
Anyway, I liked Disenchantment, though not as much as Futurama, and I’m looking forward to next “part”. I love the background jokes, and the obvious names of the elves never fail to crack me up. “Elves never leave!” “What about Leaveo?” “Never speak to me of Leaveo!” And, “If you look up ‘elf’ in the dictionary, there’s a picture of my cousin Examplo!” And the shocked expressions of Shocko.
I liked that too. They’re like a twisted parody of the Smurfs.
It was a cheap joke, but Shocko going “whaaaaaa?” got a laugh out of me every single time.
