Wubba-lubba-dub-dub! Might just say it all where this series is concerned. Rick and Morty fans will know exactly what we are getting at. The show has become a fan-favorite for its dark humor, sci-fi adventures, and complex storytelling.
Created by Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, the show first premiered in 2013. It quickly gained a massive fan base and critical acclaim for a certain blend of wit, creativity, and emotional depth.
Set in a multiverse, Rick and Morty follows the misadventures of an eccentric and alcoholic scientist Rick Sanchez and his good-hearted but often naive grandson, Morty Smith.
Where Rick is brilliant, cynical, and reckless traveling between dimensions using his portal gun, Morty is a typical high school student, usually dragged by Rick into intergalactic escapades against his will.
The show revolves around the pair’s interdimensional exploration of planets, encountering weird creatures, screwed up alien species, and above all complex ethical dilemmas.
The series tries to balance (and sometimes goes overboard) on these fantastical sci-fi elements with emotionally charged family dynamics. There’s dysfunctionality between Rick and his daughter Beth (Morty’s mother), as well as the struggles of Morty’s family to cope with Rick’s erratic and often dangerous influence.
Throughout its multiple seasons, Rick and Morty has received widespread acclaim, winning numerous awards and garnering a dedicated fan base. It has become something of a cultural phenomenon, inspiring memes, merchandise, and even fan theories that keep the internet abuzz between seasons.
Going into its 7th season though, the show is in a bit of upheaval with co-creator Justin Roiland having been dismissed of his duties in January 2023 following charges of domestic battery and false imprisonment.
In the wake of that, Adult Swim cut ties. One issue though is that the charges were dropped two months later. But there’s been no talk of bringing Roiland back. In fact, they are looking to recast the voices he provided.
