    I haven’t seen it yet, but I know that in the past when they’ve come back from cancellation, the first episode can been very meta and fan-servicey.

      I watched it last night. You hit the nail on the head - it was just like the first episode after the other reboots. Not a bad thing, and I enjoyed it. Still felt like Futurama and the writers continue to respect the continuity of previous seasons, which is something I always appreciate.

        The writing also felt pretty sharp still - the characters all acted in line with what I expect from them, and the Hulu/fulu futurama/all my circuits meta parody stuff worked really well.

          I’ve seen people saying the pop culture references felt out of place, but I find that weird because Futurama has always been like this - the Fulu stuff is very on brand. I enjoyed that the execu-bots are the same ones we’ve seen before

        Imo the continuity of the previous seasons is the worst thing that has happened to futurama
