Are there good side characters? One of my biggest issues with Futurama was that I found a lot of the side characters (outside of the Planet Express team) to be extremely mediocre.

Planet Express Team was enough plus Zapp Branagan I agree. It's just that when they did feature additional characters they were usually mediocre. I hated Ogden Wernstrom and Mom for instance. Awful characters that felt like they were dropped in from Family Guy. Morbo and Hedonism-Bot were funny though.

So it’s hard to compare to an entire Simpsons or futurama run...but I also feel they could’ve done more. There’s a lot of character and plot development in the final 2 episodes where before then it felt very random. Like I said I just wish they had something of an arc finish up by the end of season 1. But the arc had only just begun.

Bottom line is if you like the main characters enough in the first episode, then you'll like the show a lot. If you don't the show will be ok to mediocre.

Ok so I'm three episodes in... I like it, I guess. But it's nothing special. The voice acting is stellar and I enjoy the main trio. It just feels uninspired.
Compare it to the Futurana pilot, which was so polished and brimming with great ideas... Disenchantment just feels generic and thrown together.
What's really disappointing is the lack of world building. The Simpsons created a rich lively setting in a small town so I can only imagine what they should be able to do with a medieval fantasy setting... But they just sort of throw in whatever they need at the time with no regard for a larger mythology.
Anyway, I do think there's potential. The episodes have each gotten a bit better...
