After having been missing for nearly 20 years, Rick Sanchez suddenly arrives at daughter Beth's doorstep to move in with her and her family. Although Beth welcomes Rick into her home, her husband, Jerry, isn't as happy about the family reunion. Jerry is concerned about Rick, a sociopathic scientist, using the garage as his personal laboratory. In the lab, Rick works on a number of sci-fi gadgets, some of which could be considered dangerous. But that's not all Rick does that concerns Jerry. He also goes on adventures across the universe that often involve his grandchildren, Morty and Summer.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Rick and Morty zaps onto screens and makes an instant impression with its vivid splashes of color, improvisational voice acting, and densely-plotted science fiction escapades -- bringing a surprising amount of heart to a cosmically heartless premise.

Daniel Kurland New York Magazine/Vulture It has transformed into not only one of the sharpest, most surreal, nerdy comedies on television, but also a treatise on storytelling and world-building. Feb 15, 2019 Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix I would not recommend watching it while eating, but beyond that I've been enjoying it tremendously so far for its imagination, for its emotional/philosophical consistency, for the excellent voice work,, and for the balls-out comedy of it. Feb 14, 2019 Full Review Seth Abramson IndieWire Harmon and Roiland want to deny us all of our comfortable psychosocial poles by forcing us to reside, as viewers, in the same sort of ambiguous head-space the Internet and popular culture forces us to reside in anyway. Feb 14, 2019 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy On one hand, it’s easy to see why this show is a favorite of dude-bros, fanboys, and mall-dwelling mouth breathers. On the other hand, it’s also easy to see why this is a critical darling, an adult favorite, and an Emmy Award winner. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 27, 2023 Full Review Tessa Smith Mama's Geeky This show is amazing. I have never laughed so hard in my life as I have while watching this show. May 30, 2019 Full Review Tristan Lejeune Brightest Young Things Weird it does indeed get, and weird I hope it shall stay. This show could be a top-rate crossover hit.

james o the series originated from Marvel Comics, Doctor Who, Back to the Future, The Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, Channel 101, Community and Gravity Falls. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/08/25 Full Review TNT D An absolutely insane show in the best possible way, Rick and Morty is a must watch for sci-fi fans. While being absolutely off-the-walls crazy, Rick and Morty also manages to be super engaging, following an episodic format while also having many small arcs in the background, meaning you can watch flawed characters and relationships fix themselves at the same time as the usual insane plot of the episode. It is remarkable how it balances being surprisingly down to earth at times with being entertaining due to how mad it is. 10/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/31/25 Full Review TROYS S Season 1 of Adult Swim's exceptional Rick and Morty delivered devilish, dimension-hopping laughs. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review Titus D Amazing show. Had a lot of good memories and fun watching it with my cousin and little brother. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Daniel S Bruh, no cap - this joint got me WEAK! Straight up the most fire animated series I've peeped in minute, deadass. The second this thing starts rolling, you already know the vibes - these characters be hitting different fr fr, like they was made for each other and all the wild stuff that goes down in their universe. Rick and Morty's whole squad be going CRAZY stupid with the jokes while keeping that creative sauce 100. Like fr, a few eps in and I'm like "ain't no way this is real" 🤯 This show different different, no cap! Y'all sleeping if you ain't watching this masterpiece. And yo, with my man Dan Harmon cooking up the script and running the whole operation? SHEEEESH! This show hitting levels of greatness that's rare af in the TV game rn. So listen up fam - if you tryna catch some real laughs once a week, this the move fr fr. Don't sleep on this, y'all! This show be bussin' bussin'! On god! 💯 That's just facts, no printer! 🎯 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Obi-wan K Good first season good comedy Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
