Started watching the new Futurama season. A bit rough around the edges in the story progression department, but certainly not lacking heart and inspiration - a fear I had after the very middling seasons some 10 years ago. They're back on track with good character-driven material rather than merely gimmick or fad-based storytelling as was often the case with their previous Comedy Central run. Sure, the first episode does both tackle the phenomenon of binge-watching and provides meta-commentary about the industry that's very on the nose. But what can I say, the writing is actually pretty funny and sharp. This season has potential. Looking forward to the rest of it.
