This show is honestly great. It is easily the best animation show I have seen in a while on any network. The second the show starts you can tell that the characters fit perfectly with each other, and involved with the craziness that happens in the universe with Rick and Morty, they are immediately hilarious and extremely creative at the same time. A couple episodes in and I could tell that this was a unique show, and that people need to be watching it because it has huge potential. And with Dan Harmon writing and directing at the helm of it all, the magic that this show brings is a rare gem in television that people need to watch.. So yeah I highly suggest this show to anyone who wants a true genuine laugh at least once a week.

Pretty Funny!
Rob133118 January 2023
I've heard nothing but great things about Rick and Morty but still put off watching it for so long, I finally started it and boy am I glad I finally did. It's hilarious and original! My favorite animated series are Family Guy, Archer, Bojack Horsemen, shows like that and this is right there with them. It's definitely weird but in a good way, a way that will keep you laughing at every episode. You really become invested in it's world and characters like it's a thrilling drama, not an adult animated comedy. Each episode is funny, smart and weird. It's exactly what a science fiction comedy should be. Don't be like me and keep putting off...watch it, it really is as good as everyone says it is!
Strange and wonderful adventures
nargessghadiri12 March 2024
I have recently become a fan of this fascinating anime
I think this was the best animation I have seen in the last few years!
This animation shines in every episode! Each episode is a strange and interesting adventure But honestly, if you spend at least twenty minutes of your time watching this animation every day, of course! If you look at it as temporary entertainment, you'll definitely be satisfied, but if you want to watch it as an animation with a fixed and determined theme, I don't think you'll be satisfied.
But it actually makes me happy to know that there are other parts of it that I haven't seen yet!
This encourages me a lot to support And also to say that my favorite character is Rick!

Very solidly constructed television.
lcargill991 February 2014
This is an extremely solid show. It is *dark*, but there are certainly moments that approach the limits of any sort of television style format.
The ending of "Rick Potion #9" is just amazing. Likewise, the end of "M. Night Shaym Aliens".
The strength of the show is just how amoral Rick may be; but there is a strong attachment to the "many universes" hypothesis within the show. Philosophers have long debated the moral implications of "many universes" ( while realizing it's a bit sophomoric and nerdy ) ; "Rick and Morty" picks at this as its stock in trade. Morty is our avatar, and works in that capacity extremely well.
The essential dyad at the center - the title characters - interact little with the more peripheral characters, who have mainly been used in B plots. This shifts of course, and with these sorts of shows they will always mix this for plot gain. There's a rich enough set of characters to provide ample space. The interaction between Rick and Morty hoists a bit from classic propaganda tropes without actually being propagandist; a heck of a trick. It must be hard to calibrate this.
The entire show is just chock full of nuggets and neither preaches nor deigns to condescend to the audience. Pacing is always even and feels right. The writers know where to push and where not to.
We will see how long this can be maintained. The writers show a gift for twisting & adding-to old plots into new shows. Hopefully that's a stable arrangement.
As an "agent of Chaos", Rick should serve us for many years. There are actual ideas underneath all the humor, and here's to them. This might well be the best thing on television right now.

A genius mix of emotion, comedy and sci-fi!
theong3224 December 2013
Rick and Morty is a hilarious new show by the genius behind Community seasons 1-3 and 5, Dan Harmon. The episodes so far have always seemed fresh and the writing is hilarious and creative. But then there's no surprise really since its co-creator created Community.
The hilarious mixture of wittiness, slapstick and action all add to making this show one of the best cartoons I have ever seen.
From what I've seen so far, the show easily parodies different movies and topics, also slyly sneaking in references (sometimes not slyly).
The art also is simple, but very appealing. Because the show is animated, Dan Harmon, Justin Roiland and the writers have been able to break free from the chains of live action, making the show more out of this world.
I highly recommend this show to anyone, especially fans of the Regular Show, Adventure Time and Community.

jamesaedwards-2272911 February 2024
Rick and Morty is equally one of the most influential pieces of entertainment in the 2010's decade while also creating one of the most insufferable fan bases out of any media in that time, as well.
The premise for the show is one of the most distilled versions of Postmodern ideology that you really can find - there's no real point to anything, objectivity goes right out the window, so might as well do whatever you want while you can.
At its best, this show goes off the rails with (not so subtle) references to other pieces of culture that mixes a push to make fun of the very things that they're referencing. At its worst, it's patronizing and self-referential in a way that's been the catalyst to create some of the egotistical fanbases that it now has.
However, for all that's been said about this show (the good and the bad), that's precisely what has driven its ethos for 7 seasons (and more) - "we can make fun of whatever we want to and do whatever we want to because what you love doesn't actually matter. You and I are both going to die one day."
I love this show for many reasons. Top of the list being - what they make fun of, I also understand and love as well. From Ice T, to Birdperson, to the council of the Rick's, and the commercial for Two Brothers, this show has no problem letting its imagination drive the engine in fresh, new ways while being wholly unoriginal most of the time (and better for it).

Rick: Listen, Morty, I hate to break it to you, but what people call "love" is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. It hits hard, Morty, then it slowly fades, leaving you stranded in a failing marriage. I did it. Your parents are gonna do it.
Original and Hand Drawn.
realjakeobrien11 December 2013
Heads Up: This review is based on the first few episodes of Season 1 only. I was really looking forward to Rick and Morty based on the hilarious teaser and the fact that this is a hand drawn show like older, more classic cartoons. My concern was that it would end up with a weak, poorly written script. That is not the case whatsoever. This show is incredibly original with its writing, characters, style and imagination. Every episode AND joke is completely different from the last, which keeps this show fresh and exciting to watch. While I think Rick (the grandpa) is the funniest, No character is bad. Morty, his dog Snuffles, and even Morty's math teacher all pack in great jokes. The directing is great and the art style and the way it is drawn is really really good. The only problem I have with the show, is that I don't really think they know how to end each episode (so far at least). But, this is truly a breath of fresh air when it comes to comedy, and I think adultswim has a really good show on their hands... 9/10
This is why it sucks now..
bobthomp3 August 2021
If you look at timeline for the writers you can see all the writers from season 1-3 are gone. These new writers are very formulaic. They think "this is what a Rick and Morty show must have in it". Originality is gone. Also the new writers are trying to make this into a Simpsons/Family Guy cartoon with all the family.
First three seasons are wonderful and you can watch them over and over. Season 4 and 5, are tolerable enough to watch once.
I would strongly suggest they get back the old writers. Also cut back on having the family in the show. It's making the show Simpsons with crude jokes.

Just as TV started to go downhill...
sweetcommando26 March 2014
Let me just say that I was very skeptical about this show. Judging from the sneak peaks and previews, I assumed this was going to be just another family guy/ Brikleberry lazily animated show with some cheap and low standards. Well gee wizz, I was very very wrong! Rick and Morty might seem like some stupid knock off of Back to the Future or some money laundering scheme as part of late night cable TV, but its not. Behind all the jokes, each episode surprisingly has a strong message and whether you can relate to it or not, you won't really feel like the end of each episode was a bummer.
The weakest aspect is the animation. Its not pretty and seems out dated. Despite this, its hard to say that this pulls the show down. No, not even one bit. The absolutely clever writing and well designed character personalities are basically what this show floats upon.
Unlike many other cartoons that have a sub plot in every episode, the ones in this show are actually relevant and memorable. They aren't just there as fillers and they are nearly as important as the main story. In fact, in most episodes its hard to tell which one is the sub plot and which one is the main plot.
What I'm trying to say is that this show is near perfect. What are you still doing watching new Simpsons and Family guy, go watch this show if you haven't already. Its a great example of how TV hasn't turned to total crap.

superthuginc24 March 2014
I absolutely love this show... Reminds me of the chemistry of Doc and Marty Mcfly from the Back to the Future series with a rated R twist. Slowly but surely the are tweaking character development. Getting better every new episode!!! I like the way Rick is always drinking and burping and slurring his speech. This show is getting a lot of acclaim with so few episodes and it deserves every bit. Honestly this is the best cartoons aimed at young adults and teens that I've seen in a years. I always get excited when I see a new episode trailer!!! Can't wait to see what direction they take this to in the future. They have set it up for literally limitless possibilities.
Love it
makiefer-871287 March 2024
To me, Rick and Morty absolutely wasn't love at first sight. The concept instinctively didn't make sense to me, at first. A grandpa and his grandson. What I loved from the start was the adventurous alternate universes, and the potential in my imagination. This show could go anywhere. What really stuck was a couple of alternate universes that really touched my heart. I didn't expect that. And I would have settled for less. The jokes by themselves are hilarious, already. All main characters have proper personalities, unseen to date. The show didn't go for 'smooth.' Maybe, you have to go for something else to achieve 'smooth.' You can't aim for smooth, but that's the only thing, I can think of, that falls short of a 10. A "Captain-America-smooth." Maybe the last thing that's missing is a shield ? Naw. But all those adventures need to start standing for something. Even if Grandpa Rick is just chasing that kind of over-arching ... thing.
The Best New Adult Animated Series Around
fruhz23 December 2013
I just finished watching the first three episodes and feel instantly hooked. I have the same feeling I had when I watched Family Guy for the first time, in which I felt like every single character was interesting and was contributing for the series in their own ways. In this show, things that will make you laugh are dark and awkward at times which succeed every time. I haven't found a single bad moment so far in the first three episodes and can't wait to watch the whole thing
The first episode was awesome and got me straight to the next. The dog world domination episode is going to be a classic, go watch it. People will remember that episode.

Best Adult Swim show ever!
ericstevenson2 May 2016
Scratch that. This may be the best Cartoon Network show period! Yeah, you don't normally group Adult Swim shows with other ones, but as someone who watches both, this is freaking awesome! The funniest thing is how I was introduced to this series. I was actually recommended by a friend at work to see it. I looked here on the IMDb and found out it had the highest rating of any animated show (not including anime) that I'd ever seen! And you know what? I think it completely deserves it.
Apart from having good animation, the characters and stories in this show are just so freaking fun. Every single character is dysfunctional in some way, but never to the point where they're unlikeable. Rick of course steals the show. I believe it when I hear that Rick represents a cynical part of our personalities and Morty is the idealistic one. The fact that both of these characters are voiced by Justin Roiland makes it all the more obvious. I keep expecting Morty to say "Unacceptable!" at any time. I kept wondering who this guy was and why I kept hearing him in every cartoon I was watching.
I have yet to find a single episode of this show I didn't like. Then again, the show hasn't gone on that long and I haven't seen all the episodes. I think my favorite is probably "Lawnmower Dogs". The two plots are so good and hilarious. Anything with Scary Terry is amusing. What sets this apart from lesser shows like "Family Guy" is that this show does work so much harder to make you laugh and doesn't try to just gross you out. It really does focus on character development and takes time to make jokes relevant to the story. It's still not quite as good as "South Park" but it's fairly close in terms of adult cartoons. I think my former favorite Adult Swim show was "Robot Chicken" or perhaps "The Venture Bros.".
There's quite a lot of variety in Rick and Morty's adventures. There's quite a bit of creativity. There even are some truly heartwarming moments. I can always count on this to make me laugh or entertain me in any way. This just succeeds where so many adult cartoons have failed as they try to hard to be obscene or just aren't funny. The plot? Well, not really much except Rick travels through space and other dimensions with his grandson, Morty. The vocal range is great and it's nice and colorful.
Watch this show and laugh like mad. Perfect ****!

Funny and wonderfully ingenious
cherold9 November 2016
Rick and Morty is a very funny show. The humor is crazy and is hurled at the audience with breathless speed. Every joke doesn't hit, but there are so many of them that it hardly matters, and when they do hit, they hit hard.
That makes it a good show, but what makes it a truly great series is the intelligence of the crazy sci-fi ideas that fuel the stories. Yes, a miniverse inside a miniverse inside a miniverse is ridiculous, but it's also wonderfully ingenious, especially as you see both the variety and consistency of these worlds. A being that insinuates itself into everyone's memories was beautifully done. An episode in which your mind can create your concept of your partner was smart from the beginning, but then kept expanding on the idea.
Every idea is nonsensical, but every idea is ingenious and fully explored. This is not just good comedy, it's good sci-fi.
I wish this show had lasted as long as the Simpsons (i.e. forever) but what there is is fantastic.

Entertaining Stories with interesting character development
liamgriffith-126946 April 2023
I find the Rick and Morty series are good to watch in the background, and jump in at any moment. Even though there is a story to follow in the lore throughout the episodes and seasons, it isn't 100% necessary to watch them in order and to know what is going on. This is because each of the episodes follow a short story/adventure that mainly follows Rick and Morty however sometimes there will be a combination of characters in the adventure.
I enjoy thé creativity of the show, as the premise of the show follows Rick, a Scientific genius who developed portal travel and other interesting Si-Fi gadgets, and because of this, anything can happen and the stories can run wild. I have watched this a few times however I find that I always like the very different adventures from episode to episode.
One thing that is seen underlying in the show which I think is done very well is the character development and their interaction with one another. From Beth and Jerry's failing marriage to Ricks sense of depression, pushing people away and loneliness. This sort of character lore provides something a bit extra for the viewer and sometimes can allow some relation between the characters and the viewer.

Brilliant until new episodes
chelscott21 December 2022
Absolutely love this series but what is that new Japanese stuff what's come out? Might aswell watch anime which I'm not a fan of. Don't want to watch a episode and have to read subtitles. Even Rick isn't the same? Come on. Want to ruin your show? That's how you do it!
Other than that this series is brilliant! Goes to a different area of expertise with adult cartoons and is very original (except from the last series) sorry guys but if I want to watch anime I would! This isn't anime! What did you do to rick though? Seriously? At least morty looks like morty. Rick though? Want to make him be a baby? Make him that way in the first place! You made him into a different character in the recent series. Oh btw I don't have anything against Japanese as you've by far made the best animations created! Including pokemon. Just come on, you don't ever change a main character.

It fell off...
hirad-039214 April 2023
The show was amazing in the first 2 seasons. Honestly, at the time, I think it was one of, if not the, best programs on TV. Mainly because of the fantastic writing, unique plots, trippy Lo-fi feeling animation, and it was funny. Genuinely, I think it was a creative juggernaut.
But now, the show has lost sight of its characters, the jokes feel like they're rehashing ideas, and the whole atmosphere of the show has shifted. It doesn't feel like a show made out of love anymore, it feels like a corporate product, leaning heavily into what they think made it popular while completely misunderstanding what made it popular. The show doesn't take risks anymore, it just repeats the same boring idea again and again with no creativity in it.
I think the show lost the magic it was born with, and now it's just a husk of what it once was. The emotional aspects fall flat, the drama feels forced, the comedy is tried and tired.
I recommend the first two seasons, anything afterwards is completely up to you, I didn't like it at all and I'm not going to watch season 7 whenever it comes out. I'm dropping this show for good.

Goodnight sweet prince
matsuda-ets8 November 2023
Sad to see such a great show die, but no king rules forever (my son). 4 bad episodes in a row now. They feel so unnatural, forced. It's like the writers changed completely, not the voice actor. If I didn't know Roiland was swapped for somebody else I woudn't have noticed by just voices alone. But voices aside, the writing is irredeemable. A show that had such great episodes in the earlier seasons that it had infinite rewatchability, has come to this.
Other episodes of the season were bad as well, with varying degrees. But the last one (s07e04) had no funny moment. At all. Simply no witty dialogue. No cool story. Instead of absurd scenes, where the whole setting is funny to begin with, it's just shock value.
In the earlier seasons it was maybe 1 (one) bad episode per season. Right now we are looking at 1 (one) GOOD episode per season, optimistically. It is well and truly over.
Despite a few cringe episodes in the earlier seasons, that I wrote off as nonexistant in my headcanon , this was at one point my favourite TV show. Now turned mediocre. At this point I'd rather just watch Family Guy and South Park. Despite both shows being past their prime, at least there is some "in your face" humor to be found there. All that's left in Rick and Morty is a lame, unfunny regurgitation of the things we've seen or a subpar social commentary.
"Morty, I discovered suicide. It's when you die by killing yourself, Morty. And we're gonna make it an episode. Season 9 more seasons of Rick and Morty for 97 more years" 10 for the first few season and 1 for the latest instalments, with average rounded down to 5 . Adios.

Best new cartoon show 2013!
shifeili2 February 2014
The show feels fidgety in the beginning. At first it makes you take a second to get used and into it. But it's as intelligent and hilarious a show as I haven't seen one since a long time! That's what I and hopeful many other viewers are going to realize after a couple of minutes. It'S one of those shows that wouldn't happen to be without Adult Swim. Not exactly a family show. Anyways - this show is brilliant. The humor is not as cheap as in most of the successful cartoons and the show is not as comfortable to watch, but that's one thing that makes it so hilarious. It's really dark sometimes, and the viewer with a good sense of humor will appreciate that. The only thing that might make the show a bit better is that the creators could make the characters a bit better known and thus more likable to the viewer. Like this a plot as in episode 6 (SE1) would work even better. Well, the characters maybe a bit flat still, but the plots and happenings are making all this acceptable. Amazingly funny and thoughtful story line for a 20min cartoon show. The sad part is, that it might not really be for the rank and file and as a result might not last for too long or even be recognized by too many people. I really hope this goes on for a while, though! I love this show - it's great. Keep up the good work
PS.: I hope they take one or two scientists on board to help them with Grandpa Rick to keep him on track regarding scientific accuracy. But that'S just a personnel tic of mine...

Awesome!!!! Just plain fantastic! Just what we've been waiting for! At a loss for words!! Thank You God! It's about time that writers have opened up to ideas from a new realm! This is it! No hold bars, out of this world, other dimensions, straight in your face! Brilliant! I can't wait to see more! I have to see more! There better be more; it would be pretty ugly, otherwise! Hawt-dam! Yee-Freaking-Haa! Sit down, strap in, hold on and be amazed! Super clever, great story lines, great visuals, smooth, exciting, thought provoking works of art; absolute masterpieces! I applaud the writers and commend them for their brilliance and am so excited this is happening! Rick and Morty FOREVER!!!
Hilarious, smart, fresh, original and unexpectedly emotionally resonant

There were only 11 episodes in the first season, so it seems a little premature and overenthusiastic to call this the funniest and best show on television, but I'm tossing it out there anyway.
Too much of the Adult Swim programming is mean-spirited and ugly, but "Rick & Morty" balances its cynicism with moments of genuine familial and societal warmth. The characters are well-developed and evolve over the course of the season, and the voice talent is gifted -- Chris Parnell is the secret weapon as Morty's not-too-bright dad.
The Pilot is the only episode I was Luke-warm on, because it's the only one where the nastiness overwhelms everything else, but it fits well into the course of the entire season because it gives the bitter alcoholic grandfather Rick something to grow away from, and the first year gets better and better as it rolls along.
There isn't a lot of TV I can watch with my son, but this is just about the best of it. Can't wait for season 2, and I hope there will be more than 11 episodes.

One of the most unique animation shows of the last 10+ years.

This is absolutely one of those out-of-the-box, quick-witted, clever, hilarious, sometimes VERY weird and sometimes VERY dark sci-fi animation adult comedy shows that has graced late night screens in recent years.
I know fans of this show that range in ages from 17 to 72 that watch it religiously.
This show has SERIOUS fans, and I see why. Like other comparable shows like Family Guy or South Park, this is absolute brilliant animation comedy that is meant to not only beg your attention by being so fast-talking, but also because it has a deeper underlying message that will make sense in whatever it means to you. Brilliant.
Keep it comin'.
