After a decade in television stasis, Futurama is revived for a third time in a season that remains both charming and wickedly witty; TaraDBennett reviews:
Sweet Zombie Jesus! Has any television series retroactively lived up to its premise as accurately as Matt Groening and David X. Cohen’s? Over the span of 24-years, the animated series has been canceled twice, by two separate networks, only to be thawed back to life for three separate revivals.
Season 11, Episode 1, “The Impossible Stream,” picks up immediately with the Planet Express crew waking up from that ordeal in now 3023. Instead of panic, they react to the time jump with a series-typical shrug and get on with it as Fry decides he needs to find purpose in life. And that, for him, is binge watching every television series ever created on the Fulu streaming service.
Amazon also gets its own “shots fired” in “Related to Items You’ve Viewed,” which reveals the series’ evil corporate entity, MomCorp, has evolved into the unstoppable, automated retail behemoth, Momazon. Using household speakers called Invasas, Mom has infiltrated every home, and has a moon-based warehouse full of 24/7 working robots to fulfill never-ending drone deliveries.
Every single episode is a winner. Genuinely, there are no duds in the bunch. If you’re a sci-fi nerd like me, the best is arguably “Parasites Regained,” the aforementioned Nibbler episode that ends up being a parody of Frank Herbert’s and the dewormer medicine, Ivermectin. The dialogue, which is so egg-head smart and stupid at the same time, made me laugh so hard I had to pause the episode to compose myself. Also, keep your ears piqued for some fun voice cameos in this one especially.
