Don't let my rating fool you - this is pretty much a review of the first three seasons, since the fourth season (and I'm assuming the other seasons) was one of the worst TV viewing experiences I could have imagined. "Rick and Morty" was a fun experiment in creativity, slight edginess, and wacky animation for adults, but over the years it has clearly lost what made it so charming in the beginning. This isn't necessarily a funny show, which is wild because it clearly tries to make jokes and lay out humorous situations. If you watch it for its crazy animation and creative situations, you'll get a lot out of this show. However, it has started to devolve into the "random" humor territory that "Uncle Grandpa" exists in, and that's exactly the last thing that I wanted this show to become. It can be stupid fun for a bit, but the more you watch, the more you realize that it's just...stupid. This reason alone has killed any interest I had in the series and its future.
(+) Wacky, creative animation (+) First three seasons contain a nice amount of charm, pop culture callbacks, and original scripting (=) Original writing that unfortunately utilizes far too many random plot devices in later seasons (=) Loads of vocal talent, but the character writing makes "South Park" look like an esteemed drama (-) Not a very funny show
