Disenchantment is a cartoon based in a world of fantasy, about a princess named Bean, who doesn't wish to conform to the traditions and customs of the time, a demon named Luci, whom she is cursed to spend eternity accompanied by, and an elf named Elfo, who she befriends. The best way to think about the show is probably if you took Futurama, changed the location from the future to a medieval fantasy world, and changed the focus of the show to Leila, accompanied by Fry and Bender.
But likening it to Futurama really does a disservice to Futurama. Disenchantment lacks the wit and intelligence in its writing that made Futurama so good. They also buck the trend with this sort of cartoon of having the lead be a dumb character, instead having a rather normal character, and it suffers from it. Bean is alright, but she isn't particularly interesting, especially when every other character seems rather unintelligent, which makes inherently more entertaining. The main interesting thing about her character is supposed to be that she's a rebellious princess, refusing to be confined by her father's wishes, but it's really not that entertaining. The first time you learn she loves to drink wasn't all that funny, so the 50th time isn't all that funny either.
The other 2 main characters comes off a little better. Elfo starts off somewhat entertaining, due to him thinking everything that we find mediocre is exciting, but eventually that wears off and he just becomes a somewhat average dumb character. I find Luci the most entertaining, with his constant encouragements of trouble-making, but most of his jokes aren't particularly amazing.
But then again, most of the jokes in the show are like that. The humour is largely one off jokes that are pretty mediocre. Constant wordplay jokes get pretty predictable. (While not a joke from the show, an example of the format would be for Character A to tell Character B something unbelievable, Character B to reply with "You're pulling my leg", Character A to respond with "No, it's true", and then Character B to reply with "No, this guy is pulling on my leg. Stop that!" before the camera reveals someone pulling on his leg.)
Overall the show is fine, and if you're in need of a new show to pass the time - maybe playing in the background while you're doing something else - then this should suffice.
