It’s a quite brilliant 22 minutes and one with an implicit moral. Read full review

Just as rambling, hyper-specific, and brilliantly dumb as this series always has been. ... If you love the show for its weirdo characters, Mr. Nimbus will leave you quoting and thrusting to his every line. If sci-fi insanity is more your speed, there’s a time-altering B-plot that is so perfectly Rick and Morty you’ll be shocked the show hasn’t done it before. Read full review

If the quality of the first episode of season five is at all indicative of what we’ll be seeing the rest of this season, it’s probably a good thing the show’s creators took the time to get it right. The opening salvo of the new season is spectacular: insane joke density, an ever-present silliness brushing up against bad taste, awkward social situations laid bare, and hilariously tearing classic sci-fi and genre conventions a new one.

The show knows how to upend its own expectations, but it’s just as satisfying to see it harness some of the manic sitcom energy it thrives on without having to be a rehashing of some unrelated property. Read full review

Melanie McFarland

Jun 21, 2021

A nemesis is a fresh ordeal for Rick. That Rick has one at all is surprising, given how many episodes of this show are devoted to showing him bragging about how far beneath him every being in every multiverse is. ... There's a special twinge of dark humor in making one of the many tentacles of Nimbus' power that he "controls the police." ... Welcome to "Rick and Morty" in 2021. The hero has met his match and doesn't quite know what to do. He's vulnerable, and so are we. Read full review

The long-awaited new season came out. After season 4 I had some doubts about the content and continuity of the show but man.. S5E1 blew my mind. It's original, and starts out as good as the first seasons and probably even better than ever. It was gripping, it was original. Rick n Morty is back baby!

First two episodes are back on form, up to and in some ways better than the first two seasons. This season has delivered!!!

Yes. Time. I had nothing but time. Endless time. At first, it was madness. Then enlightenment. Then madness again. But perhaps it was a gift. I could see the life of time. And as I watched the life of time in all its fleeting, terrible light, I wondered, had I lived? Was I just the object inYes. Time. I had nothing but time. Endless time. At first, it was madness. Then enlightenment. Then madness again. But perhaps it was a gift. I could see the life of time. And as I watched the life of time in all its fleeting, terrible light, I wondered, had I lived? Was I just the object in another’s story? Was that all I ever was? Could I be more? I had nothing but time and still no answer. Time without purpose is a prison. I have glimpsed into the mind of eternity. Perhaps the mind of God. And found nothing but silence.… Expand

Definitely the weakest season thus far, no episode in this round would likely crack the top half of best episodes of the series. The writing here is no longer winking and whimsical, it's downright smug and snarky (while also being rather lazy). It's as though the creators half hate the showDefinitely the weakest season thus far, no episode in this round would likely crack the top half of best episodes of the series. The writing here is no longer winking and whimsical, it's downright smug and snarky (while also being rather lazy). It's as though the creators half hate the show and its fans, or find the burden of character development unbearable (the final episode's payoffs were all but muted by the fourth wall demolishing commentating bizarrely resisting getting pulled into serialization in an off-putting and narratively vapid way), and can no longer find humor in their own project, only endless cynicism crammed into conceptual vehicles that work to varying degrees (Mortyplicity was a great concept executed to mediocrity, A Rickconvenient Mort was a terrible spoof), . It feels like riding in a racecar with a driver who is utterly bored with the situation and resents greatly the desire of those in the car to extract pleasure from the things that they do. Why do you guys want to go around the track so much? Fine I'll do it and make fun of you for wanting it.

As a result the season's biggest sin is that it's simply not very funny, and occasionally openly hostile towards those watching it. Hopefully there's some magic left in the tank, though I suspect this show's best days are now behind it.… Expand

This season feels like they already are in their 8th season and just don’t care anymore. I haven’t really enjoyed any episode OTHER than the masterpiece that was Ep 3. Honestly it’s just a very strange detraction from the R&M I fell in love with. Maybe it shouldn’t have been given so manyThis season feels like they already are in their 8th season and just don’t care anymore. I haven’t really enjoyed any episode OTHER than the masterpiece that was Ep 3. Honestly it’s just a very strange detraction from the R&M I fell in love with. Maybe it shouldn’t have been given so many seasons so the narrative would be tighter?? Idk. Just finding it hard to care about or be excited about this season after watching tonight’s incest episode. Le sigh.… Expand

Horrible, horrible writing, just when you think they can't say something cringier, you're surprised by the next line or whacky gag, as one man put it "they're just pushing to see how bad they can make it and get away with it".

Seriously the drop in quality is unreal even compared to latterHorrible, horrible writing, just when you think they can't say something cringier, you're surprised by the next line or whacky gag, as one man put it "they're just pushing to see how bad they can make it and get away with it".

Seriously the drop in quality is unreal even compared to latter seasons, feels like most of the episodes were written by a very talented edgy 14 year old, they're that hard to watch.… Expand

I rarely give 0 points. Nearly never. This season - at least the first 5 episodes - deserved it. Rock got the punchline of most jokes. He nearly Isa side charakter while is name is in the title of the show. Rock was the one point I watched this show though
