Good, I'd rather binge

Honestly I forget huge parts of the plot between weeks.

2 months to go. Yay. Hopefully it’ll be better than season 12. Groeing said that they were gonna focus more on characters so I think its promising.

I fucking love futurama so I'm extremely happy about this! The movies didn't work for me but other than that I've enjoyed everything they've done

For a serialised show like Futurama where each episode is a self-contained story I don't need the binge release. In general it seems the binge release is used to get crap out fast and move on. The good stuff seems to get released slower again these days.

I really wish they wouldn't do this. The reboots need to end.

It's a little sad to see, but so long as some people are enjoying it, I can't see why anyone would call for it to be stopped. Just don't watch it.

They really traced the pattern of The Simpsons on a massively accelerated timeline. Two or three seasons of clever, unexpected, unique humor, and now a stuttering stream of humdrum mediocrity and predictability.

As with The Simpsons after Season 8, if do you enjoy it, more power to you, there's nothing wrong with that and I'm honestly jealous — but I can't help thinking about what could have been.

Glad I'm not the only one.

FWIW, this last season had a couple amazing episodes. I think it’s worth sifting through the trash in order to gain a few new gems.

I already wait 3-4 years before I binge anything Futurama related in one go. So no biggies.
