‘Futurama’ Is Back to Poke Fun at Scammers, Pop Stars, and Pirates
It feels a little silly to review Futurama at this point—the show aired its first episode in 1999 and survived multiple cancellations and revivals before, after a 10-year absence, finding a new home on Hulu in 2023. But season 14 is here, and season 13 was such a notably standout installment that we were curious to see if that trend would continue. The answer is “sort of.” The six episodes (of 10) shared with critics provide that reliable Futurama mix of goofy entertainment and topical satire.
