Following Disney+ finally releasing in the UK, and the fact that the world is currently in essentially a lockdown, I thought this would be a good opportunity to gradually rewatch the entire ‘The Simpsons’, starting here with Season 1.
‘The Simpsons’ is arguably the most worldwide recognisable TV show of all time, and it has been so influential that it’s true impact on modern pop culture is hard to even comprehend.
However, here I am specifically looking at season 1 of the show. It is undoubtedly a well written and amusing show, but many of the things we came to love about the show are only just in the works here.
Many of the character relationships do not exist in the way we know them to, and some characters seem to have very different personalities, especially the supporting characters.
However, the main family itself is well established and even more than ever, they carry the whole show.
You can very much see the makings of the great show that followed, but this season itself is far from perfect.
Rating = 3.5/5
