The animation, overseen by art director James McDermott, is fresh, colorful and as wacky as the script. Read full review

If the second episode can build even more on the insanity of the first, then Rick And Morty has the potential to be a versatile, entertaining comedy. Read full review

Rick and Morty won't get us any closer to a workable definition of Harmon's genius, but at least it clarifies that the unhinged quality that Community once had wasn't accidental. Read full review

Between the funny characters and the endless possibilities of worlds the two can visit, Rick and Morty has plenty of places to go. Read full review

Tom Gliatto

Dec 13, 2013

In the golden age of narrative TV, cartoons offer countervailing subversive pleasures: They're juvenile, satiric, surreal. Those words all apply to the wild spree Rick and Morty. [23 Dec 2013]

Tom Fenwick

Roiland and Harmon have put together a finely balanced show, with infinite possibilities that leave the door open for an exciting future. Read full review

While Rick and Morty isn’t necessarily the stuff dreams are made of, in its buoyant flights of fancy, it does betray a welcome attempt to dream just a little bigger. Read full review

way better than your standard tv show. Rick 'n Morty are a lot of fun to share a few hours with. it's like a South Park/Futurama/Superjail/Twilight Zone cocktail, with just the right mix.

maybe a 10 is a bit much but i loved this show. i love a lot of the content that adult swim makes and this was no exception, it was clever and hilarious with a lot of witty humour and filled with originality.

Rick and Morty is one of my favorite TV shows of all time. Both episodic and with an overall progressing storyline, it's a great balance of all types of episodes, that, due to it's sci-fi-multiverse nature can introduce any character or plot-line limited only by the writer's imagination.Rick and Morty is one of my favorite TV shows of all time. Both episodic and with an overall progressing storyline, it's a great balance of all types of episodes, that, due to it's sci-fi-multiverse nature can introduce any character or plot-line limited only by the writer's imagination. Some of the best episodes I've probably watched 10 or 15 time, and have watched through the whole series at least a couple of times. The humor in it is often crude, and certainly won't be for everyone, but if you aren't instantly turned off by it in the first couple episodes, you'll probably end up a serious fan by the end of episode 6.… Expand

Best show of 2013. I didn't think I was going to like this show because the animation seem cheap, but the characters, the story and the jokes are brilliant.

Rick and Morty is deep, twisted, aggressive, ambitious, thoughtful, controversial, and down the right hilarious! By far and away the best animated piece of media I have seen in my life and one of the greatest tv series I have seen in my life! With commentary on issues ranging fromRick and Morty is deep, twisted, aggressive, ambitious, thoughtful, controversial, and down the right hilarious! By far and away the best animated piece of media I have seen in my life and one of the greatest tv series I have seen in my life! With commentary on issues ranging from bureaucracies to feminism through the eyes of a troubled, alcoholic scientist and his incompetent but useful grandson side kick, this show elevates SciFi comedy to a level it's never been. I also love Rick's new catchphrase, "I don't give a f*#k"!… Expand

Rick is a super scientist that have giant plans and can do crazy things very easily, in some of his adventures he needs the help of his grandson to achieve some of his goals, together they will go into some unbelievable adventures. Created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon.
This show is so different from the normal cartoons at this style, this does have a level of discussion considerable bigger than the others, there is so much philosophical aspects in here to think about. There are so many references and philosophy that they can agglomerate into a small episode story, it is so fantastic, they do talk about so many different things, in crazy places, referencing to movies and shows culture overall and still develope interesting and very hilarious plots for two different fronts in every single episode, while one group is in a lunatic adventure, another one is in a way more, normally, mundane story, it is so dope and funny.
The character of Rick is one thing that deserves all the lights, dubbed by Justin Roiland, so many things on this crazy guy. He first of all, the way that he is a genius and can simply do so unbelievable things with just a feel seconds, or decide to go to a incredible journey just to get a little thing, like get Morty some better grades in math, he is just unstoppable. How Ricky's honor doesn't matter for him is also a very fun thing that really helps in making the show better, he doesn't care if he is being ethical or if his attitudes are honorable, he just do whatever he wants or whatever he needs to, anything else matter, not even the universe, sometimes breaks everything just for fun, and then comeback, or not, like if nothing happened, this is one of the greatest characters of modern age of audio-visual stuff. I love how he is always drinking and always belching in every phrase, the dubbing work in here is phenomenal.
The Morty character is also perfect for this show, his relation with Rick, because he is a regular shy boy like anyone else, it is so great the contrast that he has with Rick, how he question his decisions and the things that he do, Morty tries to be a guy with much more honor and ethic than Rick, but all the time Rick is puttin Morty in those situations where he gotta do some, not very ethica stuff, but it is so nice how he deals with all of that. Morty is also dubbed by Justin Roiland, it is so great how he can transform his voice, there is one or another moment where, maybe, it doesn't work that much as does in Rick, but overall it is pretty nice to.
The situations where they got themselves into in here, are always so cretive, and there are so many possibilities in this show, there are literally infinite, because there are so many places that they could go, there are infinite multiverses with infinite Ricks for example, they could create a park inside of a man's body, they went into dreams like in inception and found some kind of Freddy Krueger in there, and exploire the thing inside the thing, they have so many layers to explore, so many missions and stuff, and always making you question stuff, like virtual realities, or virtual realities inside of another virtual realitie, that is so crazy and beautiful. At the same time that there parents are just having regular lifes or doint ordinary things.… Expand
