I went in pretty skeptical, but I have to say, it’s good enough for me to feel comfortable saying it’s actually more Futurama. There’s a small hump to get over with the voice actors having aged, but unless you’re an existing hardcore fan who’s listening for it, I think Hermes is the only that sounds noticeably different, but I can get used to it.
I also feel like it’s strangely anachronistic in referencing modern day trends and technology. Futurama began in a time before streaming and all of that existed, so hearing it reference these things sticks out like a sore thumb, but it’s not like Futurama didn’t already reference real life subjects outside of Sci Fi, it’s just something I’ll get used to as the novelty wears off and it settles in with the rest of the show in my mind.
Overall, not earth shatteringly good, but I enjoyed it, and I’ll absolutely be on the hook to keep going as more episodes are released.
I have to disagree with your point about the references to modern technology sticking out like a sore thumb. I binge the whole show at least once a year and there are countless jokes throughout the series poking fun at technology that was relevant at air date. The first one that comes to mind is Amy’s comically small cell phone (which was a flip phone) that she couldn’t carry around because the wireless charger was the size of a toaster.
Another that I can quickly think of is the way they portray the internet, and the direct references to websites like Napster. They even resorted to making jokes based off of internet memes that have LONG since died off. For example, the entire conflict between Fry and Leela in the episode with the MomCorp eyePhone is based on the popularity of Susan Boyle’s performance on Britain’s Got Talent from who knows what year.
If references to modern tech are off-putting to you, you haven’t payed any attention in older episodes.
