The jokes are far more adult than Groening's other work, but also somehow much more immature. For example, in the first episode alone they make endless, cringeworthy jokes about cunnilingus/prostitution/racism/etc. but deliver them in a way that only children would find funny.
The voice acting is decent, but it is a shame the characters are so one-sided and the dialogue is so terrible.
I think the main plus is the world building, which leaves a lot of room for improvement. It is just that such an improvement should be led by a better team of writers for the regrettably inevitable second season.
Clearly people put effort into the show, but too many core elements fall flat for it to work.
(I also am a little bit suspicious of the validity of some of the positive reviews here...)
score 3/10
