The series is shockingly funny, even when it goes into dark/disturbing mode, but moments like these confirmed that there was more going on than a bawdy, violent, nihilistically hilarious riff on science-fiction clichés and scientific principles, built around a character who’s like the Doctor reimagined by Armando Iannucci. ... Rick and Morty has always been one of wildest shows on TV. It’s time to admit that it’s also one of the best. Read full review

Esta serie es realmente magnifica y lo sigue siendo en esta 3ra temporada, que me ha gustado mas que las 2 anteriores, porque esta temporada, a diferencia de las otras, va a más, sobrepasa un limite que no era sobrepasado antes, es al mismo tiempo divertida y profunda, de las mejores seriesEsta serie es realmente magnifica y lo sigue siendo en esta 3ra temporada, que me ha gustado mas que las 2 anteriores, porque esta temporada, a diferencia de las otras, va a más, sobrepasa un limite que no era sobrepasado antes, es al mismo tiempo divertida y profunda, de las mejores series animadas ahi fuera.… Expand

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 don't know much about animation but god, this show is truly one of the best animated ones out there, the complexity of the characters and the writing make this show an amazing one for entertainment and analysis, it has it all.

Top Shelf (Best stuff on TV)

1) The Ricklantis Mixup - One of the most well-written episodes of television I've ever seen. It has enough humor and poignance to outdo most dramatic feature length films in the span of 20 minutes. 2) Rest and Ricklaxation - Fast and furious with humor andTop Shelf (Best stuff on TV)

1) The Ricklantis Mixup - One of the most well-written episodes of television I've ever seen. It has enough humor and poignance to outdo most dramatic feature length films in the span of 20 minutes.

2) Rest and Ricklaxation - Fast and furious with humor and some well placed characterization/insights

3) The Rickshank Redemption - Don't **** with Rick. Rick and Morty for a thousand years!

Wonderful (Multi-dimensional Awesomeness)

4) The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy - What a trip through the wormhole, I won't call it back for a few days though.

5) Pickle Rick - Outrageous and yet still down to Earth

Solid (Fun in a way only R&M can be)

6) Morty's Mind Blowers - I personally vastly prefer this to the Interdimensional cable

7) Rickmancing the Stone - I didn't like Mad Max as much as everyone else either

Fine (Still happy for the attempt, though not my favorites)

8) The ABC's of Beth - Definitely the most interesting turn for Beth's character

9) The Rickchurian Candidate - Which kind of lost itself in the weeds to yet another battle of egos w/ Rick

10) Vindicators 3 - Maybe I should go back and watch the first 2?

Overall I think Season 3 had more weak points than either of the previous 2, but its highs reached the levels of the best episodes in the series, and w/ The Ricklantis Mixup probably the very highest thus far. If I had to rank it, it'd be:

1) Season 2
2) Season 1
3) Season 3

It remains my favorite show on TV by a wide margin.… Expand

Just not what it used to be. There are some good episodes but the overall story arc is ruined completely. The characters no longer behave like real people. It also seems that the show, this year, went more for shock value than actual dark comedy. It isn't a bad show but not a good one,Just not what it used to be.

1 star for the one good episode, ironically featuring a character who basically has been kicked off the show. I enjoyed the first season and much of the second, but a large part of what made it enjoyable was the dynamic between the characters - which gets completely destroyed this time1 star for the one good episode, ironically featuring a character who basically has been kicked off the show. I enjoyed the first season and much of the second, but a large part of what made it enjoyable was the dynamic between the characters - which gets completely destroyed this time around. Suddenly everyone turns into a min-Rick, which is just not interesting. Just as a great sports team requires role players to do the "dirty work" - the thankless but necessary tasks essential for success - so too does a show need "normal" characters to ground the narrative and provide a foil for the "star" (i.e. Rick). So the innocent, anxious and not particularly intelligent Morty, the cynical but good-hearted slave-to-trends Summer, and the ol' parental unit - ambitious but feeling-boxed-in-by-her-marriage/family Beth and trying-too-hard and not-too-bright Jerry provide fodder for Rick to play with and against.

But now, in our everyone-must-be-special age, "role players" are no longer allowed. Every character must get their own episode, in which they do things completely alien to just about everything we know about them, and the hard work of making it believable is completely absent. You get a picture of a bunch of bored writers in a room taking turns saying "wouldn't it be cool if..." rather than systemically thinking through the organic evolution of the characters (or non-evolution, as the case may be).

And the result is that immersion becomes impossible as the seams in the story show themselves, and various stereotypical agendas of the writers become clear. We are not listening to Rick and Morty speak, but rather California liberals who took their instruction at Pomona far too seriously.… Expand
