Featured review
Thank you for not being terrible.
They did it. I can't believe they did it. They finally made a crypto episode that's actually fun and creative instead of boring and lazy.
I was a little worried about the topical episodes this season but this one was very well done. Crypto didn't seem on the nose or outdated like the CC era episodes sometimes felt. This time being way more creative and actually doing some nice worldbuilding by visiting a completely new place we've never been to before. We go somewhere that emulates the wild west and it's just so beautiful and a nice change of scenery.
The crypto seems to something you actually have to mine and collect before you turn it into digital money which I really like. They didn't take the lazy route and just do the same old crypto jokes.
There were actually a lot of other storylines as well that the crypto part of the story didn't really feel overdone. It's in the background and used to progress the story instead of being the story. There was even a nice little twist with the crypto later in the episode.
If this episode is any indication to how they will be treating the topical episodes then I'm not nearly as worried anymore. They actually feel fun and not in your face. This episode will still stand if you knew absolutely nothing about crypto or Bitcoin and that's why I think it will be timeless.
Overall a really great episode and the best so far. Im really happy Futurama is back because this was so good.
