All too quickly I join the ranks of people waiting for the distant arrival of season 4 of Rick and Morty. I have boxsetted my way through this and the previous seasons, even if I did delay watching this season by a month or so. The season returns on the back of the cliffhanger from the previous season, and deals with it well. From there we have consistently good episodes which are all built on a solid narrative and character base. The split of the family, the feelings of the characters, all are well played out but none of that ever stops the episodes being consistently inventive and funny.
The internet memes are all here (Pickle Rick for instance), but there is plenty beyond such comedy moments, and I enjoyed things like the character element of that episode, as well as the darker thread continued in Tales From the Citadel. All based on smart observation and dark imagination, these elements do give the show a strong bed on which to deliver everything else. I'm close to being a copy/pasta on that, and I continue to dislike the snobbish fan base, but the show itself is hard not to enjoy on many levels, and the third season is a consistent reminder of that.
