Our Review
Disenchantment (2018) is a comedy and adventure series from Netflix. It has built a run of 50 episodes. It premiered on August 17, 2018. Viewers rate it 7.1 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 3 seasons.
What Disenchantment Is About
In Disenchantment, viewers are whisked away to the crumbling medieval kingdom of Dreamland, where they follow the misadventures of hard-drinking young princess Bean, her feisty elf companion Elfo, and her personal demon Luci. Along the way, the oddball trio encounter ogres, sprites, harpies, imps, trolls, walruses, and lots of human fools.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, the full run covers 50 episodes, spread across 3 seasons and it leans into its comedy/adventure roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Abbi Jacobson, Nat Faxon and Eric André to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Abbi Jacobson, Nat Faxon, Eric André, John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche and Sharon Horgan lead the cast.
Key roles include Abbi Jacobson as Princess Bean; Nat Faxon as Elfo; Eric André as Luci; John DiMaggio as King Zøg; Maurice LaMarche as Odval.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of comedy, adventure and fantasy have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Netflix’s other originals, a 7.1/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2018 and carried by Netflix with the series still ended, it lands hardest with comedy and adventure viewers.
How Disenchantment Compares
If Disenchantment lands for you, the next stops are Nathan for You, Taskmaster and Seinfeld, which share its comedy/adventure lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole Disenchantment is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Abbi Jacobson and Nat Faxon doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its comedy/adventure roots, It has held up since 2018 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Disenchantment is a safe bet for anyone already inside the comedy and adventure lane, at 50 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 7.1/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.1/10. Watch it if you want comedy/adventure you can settle into.
