Critics Consensus

"The Rickshank Redemption" answers the despairing cliffhanger of Rick and Morty's second season finale with a rollicking and uproariously funny dismantling of the series' status quo, kickstarting the third season with a fresh start and a side order of szechuan sauce.

The Ringer

What a hysterical, unhinged reveal. What a gut punch. What a commitment to the ever-deepening blackness at the heart of this show. Rick and Morty is starting Season 3 the most Rick and Morty it's ever been.

New York Magazine/Vulture

An unhinged Rick confesses to Morty that his only character arc, his only true driving force, is to acquire that Mulan Szechuan sauce.

Rated: 4/5

If the show's quality remains this great, then we've got lots to look forward to this season.

Thrillist

Our sociopathic hero, our unfeeling emissary of delicious depravity, is back, darker than ever. Touching, hilarious, subversive, this episode undoes the poignant brilliance of the Season 2 finale with just as much, if not more, heft and fun.

Flickering Myth

It managed, somehow, to defy everybody's already incredibly high expectations.

The Mary Sue

It sets the tone as it means to go on, kicking the status quo in the teeth until the landscape for the rest of the season is almost a blank slate.
