    Very few flaws, one of my favorite shows with anannoyin fan base. deep, twisted, aggressive, ambitious, thoughtful, controversial, and down the right hilarious! I tried it for about 5 minutes and then chucked it... I completely misunderstood it. Due to it looking like SuperJail, which I tried as well and was turned off by the humor I assumed R&M had the same oddball humor...

Due to it looking like SuperJail, which I tried as well and was turned off by the humor I assumed R&M had the same oddball humor... I was wrong completely wrong. On a whim, I gave R&M another shot, and I'm blown away. The writing for this show is too good, almost to the fault of the show's reputation of storylines. The first 2 episodes are somewhat general audience, and then it finds it's niche around episode 3. I was completely owned by this show at Robodog.. and then I was a superfan at MeSeeks… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 7/10 It could have got higher but hey, nothing's perfect.
    I'm a long time reader of SF and related genres and for this to be worth rating, it's gotta be seriously good.
    Bad stuff - sometimes you see the plot being forced, Good stuff - it's a lotta fun. The best bit is there's the big underlying theme. That alone is worth one additional mark.

    What's it about? If you've watched you don't need to know but for those that haven't (take a deep breath)..................... a comic, adult themed, sometimes gross Science Fiction romp through space, time alternate realities and dimensions, peppered with the suburban frailties of Morty's family. Morty is Rick's grandson and the rest of the family are parents: Beth (a horse surgeon) & Jerry (unemployed), and Summer, Morty's sister. Beth is Rick's daughter. Rick moved in with them two years ago and has since taken Morty on many adventures, turning his life upside down. Okay Rick's a (profanity redacted) of the highest (inter-dimensional) order... but he does know what's going, on the other hand Morty is an unsure, self-conscious pubescent 14 year old. Mental note: just how does Rick know a crisis is brewing before he hooks Morty out of class?
    Friends bugged me about Rick and Morty for years; I said I'd check it out when the time was ripe. That time eventually came and at the beginning of November 2018. I binge watched Netflix over a Sunday / Monday / Tuesday evening, letting it soak in.

    So let's begin at the end: The last episode sees a new, more assertive Morty, a kind of seen it all, know what's coming Morty who's gonna make decisions that'll last to the end of the series. And as the current series is series 3 and as this episode is the last in series 3, this new self-confident Morty is actually the wrap up tidyism just in case there's no series 4.

    Will this new, maturer Morty make the transition to the adventures being brewed up by Vanity Card?¹ Could do. No reason why nor. On the other hand an age 14, unsure teenage sidekick means more tension / chance for goofy, sidekick misunderstandings / panic attacks / fear of not doing the right thing / embarrassed viewer amusement at younger self.

    In short episode 10, season 3 is no series wrap-up, it's a send-off to be unpicked later at leisure.

    Mental notes:

    Inter-dimensional synchronicity might mean all Mortys leave Rick and for all Ricks to accept this, and Morty may be relying on it. It's a pipe dream - there's no happy ever after, just a fight to survive and be top-dog in a vengeance driven multiverse. Has to mean the final cabin scene in s3 e10 is a staging post.

    Rick rarely let's on how he's so clued up on the next mission - sure he's got a Garage-Lab / Secure Facility / Wiped Memories of Morty Room (just how much does Summer know?) / Other sub-basement areas that probably dwarf Beth & Jerry's house, this is a gigantic Rick control centre but the follow through still has to be: who gets a crisis message to Rick and how does it arrive?

    Then there's the question of just how long Rick and Morty have been bunking off on adventures. That's a pretty full room of wiped memories. I could snap piccies of the room and do the math but hey! let's leave something for others to do. Okay I estimate at least 640 -now compare that to the length of time Rick has been in Beth (and Jerry's) house.

    My guess is there'll be a variety of methods of clueing up on the next adventure / mission: pan-dimensional post / dramatic notes / a catastrophic event-tremor chart...

    Morty never grows. Continuity isn't King in the show despite the story-arcs, and although a continuation of adolescence would logically lead to Big Morty (which would deliver laughs) these would be different. Big Morty might want to be a hero (all those self-assertive body changes kicking in) and end up a clumsy lummox. That'd work and it'd take down the small, recently (that's the final s3 episode) self-confident Morty - do clumsy things = set pride for a fall - but there's tons of small Morty stuff to do - Has Rick really been back two years in Beth & Jerry's house because there's surely a whole load of wiped Morty memory vials. Maybe Rick made grandfatherly visits before he moved back in.

    So Continuity isn't King because comedy doesn't need it, it's a drag, yet we see it creeping in. Something to do with huge Sci-Fi (always hated that halfway acronym) concepts. Once you get a universe to play in, you're not just God, you also get to do some exploring, then you things in their proper place and you start to organise. The stories begin to fit because there's an ultimate plot thread - a prize. Is it something Rick wants, but he's too anarchic so it's more like something he wants to prevent - or something he can't predict, from left field.

    Star Trek, Animal House, Dr. Strangelove and Cosmos all rolled into one show. It's like all of those shows and it's like none of those shows. It is very Schrödinger's cats!!!

    Atualmente é o único desenho/série que me prende. Amo o humor acido, as referencias, a imprevisibilidade, as criticas - apesar de que não presto tanta atenção nelas, enfim... SUPER RECOMENDADO!

    Rick and Morty from Adult Swim, proves that animation can be more adult and mature, but doesnt have to be restricted by reality (such as other classic adult shows I.E, Family Guy, Amaerican Dad, The Simsons, ect) either. RaM is aways fresh and never duel. I deffenialy reccomend!

    Rick & Morty is a very funny and sometimes dark animated SF comedy series. Justin Roiland is an extremely talented individual and he's the heart of this show. Episodes are generally self-contained, but there are references to other episodes and there is an interesting overarching story. I'm really curious to see where it goes.

    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]

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

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