I must not be watching the same Disenchantment as everyone else because for every opinion that I see online, I have the exact opposite. People call it boring, and I'm like--huh? What? The series has so many twists and turns and wild adventures. Bean's evil mother trying to marry her off to the devil, a demon getting trapped in heaven, crazy romps in a steampunk city, mysterious conspiracies, Elfo's secret past...every episode keeps me entertained.
Disenchantment also has plenty of queer elements, including two men in a relationship, lots of gay/bi background characters and an entire episode devoted to Bean's relationship with a mermaid. No subtle queerness with "hints" and "clues" that homophobic viewers can deny--it's all out there in the open.
The art and design is incredible, too. Steamland in particular has so much attention to detail. Every background, character and clothing design contributes to a fully immersive 1800s aesthetic. I also love the 3D animation that reminds me of the Planet Express ship. Luci looks great, too: a 2D silhouette that somehow looks 3D in movement, not like a sheet of paper.
The jokes land, the plot is entertaining, all the characters are lovable. Pacing is probably the biggest issue, but it's not so distracting that it ruins the show. The writers just take risks.
I think Matt Groening challenged himself with this one. The serialization is a departure from his other shows, which focus on one-offs that famously reset by the start of the next episode. When something changes in Disenchantment, the change actually sticks.
Maybe people just had the wrong expectations for it? I could see why people would expect another episodic series that they can pick up from anywhere. Nope, you'll have to actually sit down and watch this one.

Listen my only complaint about the Disenchantment ending (the others are just therapy bills) is the difference in Bean's reaction between Luci's death and Mora's. I mean I get that Mora was technically her fault, but still. She mourned Mora's death for ages and fell into a depression, but didn't even give Luci's death a second to think about. She gave him a cute moment in that speech at the end, but she never grieved him the way she grieved Mora, or the way she grieved Elfo when he died. She seemed to accept and move past it pretty damn quick.
