I watched the first few seasons of Rick and Morty before losing interest, for reasons I can’t recall.
Completing it now (to the end of season seven, as of this writing) during a deep depression—brought on by the death of my brother, an imminent fiftieth birthday, and the overwhelming inadequacy that comes with having to participate in group projects at university with people young enough to be my actual children—felt apt.
Season seven was weak. I don’t know how much the Roiland scandal contributed to the loss of momentum, but I’m sure it didn’t help.
Top-notch animation, a cavalcade of recognizable voice actors, and a dissection of science fiction tropes to their logical innards. Just a shame about that whole cancellation thing.
