Why It's Enchanting

 * 1) The show is a different approach from other Matt Groening shows, yet at the same time it feels similar so fans of Matt Groening and newcomers can enjoy it.
 * 2) The show is a creative take on fantasy by making it comedic and also serious. It’s also a parody of medieval and fantasy shows such as Game of Thrones.
 * 3) The show has a bigger focus on story than The Simpsons and even more so than Futurama, and the story’s interesting.
 * 4) Likable Characters such as Luci, Bean and Elfo.
 * 5) Outstanding voice acting with most of the cast sounding different. from each other despite being mostly the same actors and actresses.
 * 6) Despite being a fantasy show, the show also has steampunk settings, it’s able to mash up 2 settings right.
 * 7) Decent humor despite not being the main focus of the show.
 * 8) Has pretty cool references to Futurama and The Simpsons.
 * 9) While not as memorable as Futurama or The Simpsons but it has some decent memorable quotes such as “Hi, I’m Elfo!”.
 * 10) Queen Dagmar is an interesting and cool villain.
 * 11) The animation is pretty awesome, not only as expected from Matt Groening, but also due to details such as smooth mouth movement.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) The show’s humor can be funny but most of the time it’s weak (but not lame) or something that you’ve seen before in The Simpsons and Futurama
 * 2) *Season 3 started focusing less on the humor and more on the plot.
 * 3) In the first season many characters were unlikable, such as Bean being more of a Mary Sue or and Elfo being more of a clone of Fry from Futurama.
 * 4) Has a few mediocre episodes, mainly on the first season.
 * 5) The show has pacing problems sometimes.

Reception
The show received mixed to positive reviews from audience and critics, with praise over it being a different approach from Matt Groening’s other shows and plot but criticized for its pacing and playing it safe which may not bond well with future seasons.

Over time reception has improved and it got a dedicated fanbase.

Trivia

 * As mentioned above, the show avoids many elements that was in previous Matt Groening shows including:
 * The show focuses a lot more on story than humor.
 * Each season is only 10 episodes instead of 20 minimum.
 * There are no more episodes with 3 non canon segments.
 * The Main character (Bean) doesn’t have large eyeball like Homer and Fry.
 * The Main character (Bean) is a female as opposed to being a male like in The Simpsons and Futurama.
 * The intro doesn’t have a funny gag, but instead is used as a teaser to what's in the episode.
 * Since the show is on Netflix' streaming service, all episodes are released together as opposed to each episode having it's own gap between each episode.
 * The episodes have a varying running time, as the series is original to streaming.
 * This is Matt Groening’s first show to not start on Fox and owned by Disney.
 * Most of the cast come from Futurama, such as Billy West and John DiMaggio.
 * John DiMaggio describes the show as a Game of Thrones parody with a touch of feminism.
 * The episode "Dreamland Falls" ties into Groening's other series Futurama, implying that both shows do in fact take place in the same universe. When Luci uses the crystal ball to show moments from before, Philip J. Fry, Bender and Professor Farnsworth can briefly be seen in a time machine. The moment is a reference to the episode "The Late Philip J. Fry" in which the trio travel in a one-way time machine and witness the end and rebirth of the universe, implying that the three were passing through after time restarted.
