Its not completely terrible.

The connections to Rick and Morty are impossible to ignore. Comparisons are inevitable. So this show has no chance to ever stand on its own. So on the surface you will see that its the same animation visuals asIts not completely terrible.

The connections to Rick and Morty are impossible to ignore. Comparisons are inevitable. So this show has no chance to ever stand on its own. So on the surface you will see that its the same animation visuals as R&M and the voice of Rick at the helm. So tht is going to deliver a high expectation. Problem is Solar Opposites does not have the same edge, nor the same depth. Its too reliant on vulgarity and gore for laughs. Its closer to say Final Space or American Dad with more gratiutious edgelording than it is to its forebearer.

That is not to say there is nothing worth while here. Just like the first season of R&M it takes some time to get adjusted to these characters. It takes about half a season just to separate Korvo from Rick. The Aliens are arguably the least interesting part of the show and just serve as satire for more traditional sit coms. . Its the citizens of the wall where the show shines what light it does have.

All in all its like a very lifeless and generic R&M but when it does generate a laugh its solid and a lot more enjoyable than most animated comedies of this vein. Far funnier than anything from Seth McFarlane in the last decade. So if you are REALLY needing to scratch that R&M itch, (which right now makes no sense given that this series premiered now that R&M are back for second half of season) then this can somewhat scratch it. Just do not expect a lot from it.… Expand
