Hulu’s new reboot of the legacy sitcom Futurama only reinforces how great and untouchable its first run was. More by LegsFrank from beastobsessed:
is primarily a satire of our present day, 1,000 years before the refresh is set. While the original series took place in the year 3000 and regularly parodied the new millennium’s societal fixations—Al Gore even voiced himself in one episode—that element worked best as biting color in its otherwise original stories of 31st-century aliens, spaceships, and sci-fi weaponry. Hulu’ssends up the 2020s in a lazier fashion, making its references to today’s world the full joke.
At the same time, since Fry and Leela started dating at the end of Comedy Central’s run, the emotional stakes feel concerningly lower—and the elegant emotion was what definedin the first place. One episode of the reboot hammers this home with frustrating results: “Parasites Regained,” an obvious retread of one of the series’ greatest episodes, Season 3’s “.” In the original episode, Fry is infested with worms that make him much smarter than ever before.
