Emily St. James AV Club When Futurama is good, it's really, really good, and "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" is one of those "really good" episodes. Apr 19, 2018 Full Review Genevieve Koski AV Club And as far as codas go, it doesn't get much better than Fry's squeaky, beginner-level holophoner sendoff, which I'll always at least partly consider Futurama's final bow. Apr 19, 2018 Full Review Zack Handlen AV Club In its final moment, Fry plays for Leela with his own hands, at her request: the result is a story told clumsily and not always well, but with passion and love. I can't think of a better note to end on. Rated: A Apr 19, 2018 Full Review Mark Rozeman Paste Magazine To this day, the final image of a crudely drawn Fry and Leela walking hand-in-hand into the sunset remains perhaps one of the most heartwarming images in television history. Apr 19, 2018 Full Review Scott Meslow The Week Futurama's first series finale is still its best, demonstrating the show's deft balance of absurdist, gag-heavy comedy and unexpected poignancy. Apr 19, 2018 Full Review Robert Canning IGN Movies Though there were some shaky moments early on, the new episodes of Futurama ultimately reminded us why we wanted the series back so badly in the first place. Rated: 8/10 Apr 19, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

David W Futurama’s fifth season is a solid classic in the series and features some moments that have made it into broader popular culture. I would absolutely re-watch this season, except for the ‘Jurassic Bark’ episode, which I have vowed to never watch again. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/21/24 Full Review David C Los capítulos son cada vez más graciosos y chistosos Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Sasha M SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/05/23 Full Review Spencer P [Every website keeps splitting this show in randomly different seasons, so I'll just repost my Season 4 review here to catch up] Taking a turn for weirder and bolder stories, Season 4 adds an impressive new dimension of episode possibility to this animated comedy, while also giving life-changing answers to its characters. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review Cody W The fifth season of FUTURAMA really delivers the goods, with so much comedy that will make you laugh out loud and have a really good time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review Audience Member enjoying the four-episode "mini-series" Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
