While the misanthropy can be a little overwhelming at times and the balance between the Korvo/Terry plots and the wall feels off at times in both years, there’s an ambitious unpredictability to the writing on “Solar Opposites” that elevates it in every episode.
Solar Opposites Season 4 is another round of madcap, nihilistic comedy that doesn’t stop at anything to make you laugh. It’s irreverent, foul, and unmistakably Adult Swim fodder that’s found a home on Hulu, but that’s part of what makes it so good.

Disfruté cada minuto de esta serie, la vi en un día. Sinceramente, creo que tiene un hilo conductor mucho más simple de entender y seguir que R&M, es liviana y densa al mismo tiempo, muy random, con matices políticos bien definidos, muy rápida, creo que hay que verla un par de veces para apreciar todo el contenido y lo que está oculto. Espero que las próximas temporadas continúen al mismo nivel de la primera, esta me fascinó.

There's stuff to like even in those early episodes, whether it's the glee of the untethered swearing and violence or an eclectic list of references that go as broad as the frequent chiding of Hulu and as weirdly specific as nods to Green Room or eXistenZ. It's the second half that points to Solar Opposites becoming a show I want to watch completely on its own merits and not just as a parallel attraction to Rick and Morty.
Even if it does start to get repetitive at points, Solar Opposites is still one of the better original comedy series that Hulu has to offer, and this latest batch of episodes may just be the series' most entertaining to date.
As inventive as “Solar Opposites” is in spurts, Season 2 shows how much the main four characters are relatively indistinguishable from each other. ... The main exception is Jesse (Mary Mack), who emerges as the main Season 2 bright spot.
Solar Opposites isn't really a series that can grow or change, as its characters don't have interior lives and its makers are committed to whipping up parodies that don't say much of anything. These self-imposed limitations ultimately make the series a bit like the alien family's own busted spaceship: unable to ever take off into a new stratosphere but sufficiently full of high-tech gizmos and extra-terrestrial lunatics that there's never a dull moment.
This show is undoubtedly sprinting by the end of Season 1, but it’s turning too many corners, hitting too many rocky trails, and tripping over too many things. Hopefully, Season 2 will find some newer terrain, and the laces will be tied a little tighter.
Love this show so much, people who say this show hasn't got much to say when compared to Rick and Morty are obviously missing the point of a few of the plotlines. Its as funny as rick and morty, with characters who are just as lovable. Plenty of new ideas here that I havn't seen before in adult animation. While a few characters and the animation may lead you to believe this is just a rick and morty spin-off, by the end of season 1 Solar Opposites has already long escaped its predecessors shadow, easily holding its own as one of the best shows of its kind.

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 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.

Solar Opposites is like Rick & Morty's sharper humor got slightly dissolved in a Vat of Acid and instead of humor they added a dash of mediocrity paired with a side of genercism while slapping on the cartoon style of its origination series. I couldn't deal with the stale storylines that never reached the heights of R&M. The tropey "Aliens living amongst us" storyline feels just too forced.

Season 4 is a horrible experience. I wish they had just cancelled the show instead of shoehorning this rubbish.
