Matt Groening's Disenchantment returns to Netflix with good characters but not nearly enough jokes.
The lack of humor falls more on the shoulders of the writers than the voice actors, who try their best with what they’re given. Abbi Jacobson finally seems fully comfortable playing the reckless princess Bean. Nat Faxon is as eager as ever as Elfo, and Eric Andre shines as the demon Luci despite having a character arc that, while touching, is poorly executed.
While the humor may be somewhat lacking in part two, Groening and company successfully give more texture to the world that Dreamland occupies. Bean travels to the lands of Maru and Steamland which—you guessed it—is a whirring, metallic steampunk mecca. Even Dreamland itself becomes richer, with the elves moving into the kingdom and creating their own little neighborhood, Elf Alley, with shop names that, though not quitelevel, are good for a background chuckle.
’s modern medieval score brings a liveliness to even the stalest of scenes. One of the tunes, emanating from a creepy music box, is bound to get stuck in your head.’s most distinctive element compared to other Groening projects—its narrative continuity—provides the other highs of part two. The writers sow plot seeds early on that reap rewarding moments, and Bean’s relationship with her evil mother Dagmar proves one of the more compelling arcs.
