Check out how I rated Season 1 here.

Season 2 Rating: CSS=9, CSS=6 / The Giggles
Scale F=3, Scale G=3, Scale H=3, Scale I=3, Scale J=3
    Favorite from Season 2 = "Stairway to Hell"

While not quite as good as the first season, Disenchantment Season 2 has some comedy gem moments, especially an episode set in Heaven and Hell. It was also fun to venture into a steampunk land. Great and quirky writing. All the episodes connect together well and there are lots of bizarre twists and surprises to keep things interesting.

Season 3 Rating: CSS=7, CSS=5 / The Giggles
Scale F=3, Scale G=2, Scale H=2, Scale I=3, Scale J=2
    Favorite from Season 3 = "Steamland Confidential"

"What is going on?" became my catchphrase for the newest season of Disenchantment. Yes, it was still fun and quirky but oh my goodness did things get chaotic quickly. I found Season 3 had way too many loose ends and randomness to fit well within the full story of Tiabeanie and her friends. Over the top can sometimes be a good thing, but not in this case. I need to do a second viewing, for sure, but I'm hoping that a fourth season will answer all the questions and make meaning of everything that was thrown at us here.
