As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

First few episodes in. I like it so far.

It's definitely Simpsons/Futurama but set in D&D land. Some of the tropes are great. Some are maybe a bit overused. Worth a few laughs though.

I've been wondering about this show. I've heard very mixed reviews.

Loved Futurama, although I think it was slightly overrated. Used to love the Simpsons way back in the day, but haven't watched it in a decade or more and haven't missed it.

I've watched three episodes. It's OK. as.with all things created by Netflix... It reeks of mediocrity.

Yeah, their selectivity isn't very good.

I disagree, kinda...

I think they do take chances, like Big Mouth, F is for Family, Black Mirror, etc., but you are correct that it's mostly middle of the road stuff. I think they look more for content than quality.
