 Overall, Futurama is a masterpiece animated series that satisfies, one way or another, practically all types of viewers: from lovers of comic situations to those who enjoy satire (political, religious, social), to those who like references (and if you pay close attention, there are tons of them) to those who prefer time paradoxes.

 What characterized the early seasons, such as the sharp and brash dialogues, the satire-laced humor, the vibrant characters, and the incredible intertwining of stories within a single episode, has given way to a kind of absurd comedy and superficial character development.
