I went in pretty skeptical, but I have to say, it's good enough for me to feel comfortable saying it's actually more Futurama. There's a small hump to get over with the voice actors having aged, but unless you're an existing hardcore fan who's listening for it, I think Hermes is the only that sounds noticeably different, but I can get used to it.

I also feel like it's strangely anachronistic in referencing modern day trends and technology. Futurama began in a time before streaming and all of that existed, so hearing it reference these things sticks out like a sore thumb, but it's not like Futurama didn't already reference real life subjects outside of Sci Fi, it's just something I'll get used to as the novelty wears off and it settles in with the rest of the show in my mind.

Overall, not earth shatteringly good, but I enjoyed it, and I'll absolutely be on the hook to keep going as more episodes are released.

It probably is just this episode. They did the same thing although just at the start instead a whole episode with the Comedy Central Channel bit in Rebirth.

Overall it wasn't the strongest but had some great jokes. I'm super excited for the rest of the season and I'm glad they are releasing weekly. I keep visiting the page to see when the next episode is released and end up watching more old episodes.
