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.

Critics Consensus

Rick and Morty starts showing signs of fatigue with an uneven batch of adventures that are often more crude than clever, but a major shakeup to the status quo helps this season finish strong.

Season 5 of Rick And Morty is worryingly uneven for the cartoon that breathed new life into the medium.

Thanks to the guidance of creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, the fifth season continues to develop while it blows our minds with new universes, timelines and TV-MA situations, making it more than just a sci-fi toon with the occasional dick joke.

Starts of perfect, gets a little iffy in the middle, and finishes insanely strong fully cementing Evil Morty as one of the greatest animated villains of all time.

Still plenty of brilliant ideas and entertaining episodes mixed in with the lackluster ones.

So far so good with the first two episodes, keeping it up with the creative sci-fi scenarios, snarky dialogue, and color-popping animated artwork. That being said, episode 3 has a conflicting message about murder under a just cause with a rushed cliché ecofascist bad cliché ending despite the cute romantic setup. Episode 4 is mostly horrible. Episode 5 is an improvement. Episode 6 was meh, but episodes 7, 8, and 9 were much better with some good story payoffs from previous seasons. And episode 10 was ana amazing payoff to the evil Morty saga.

Mort Dinner Rick Andre - 8/10, Mortyplicity - 8.5/10, A Rickconvenient Mort - 7.5/10, Rickdependence Spray - 4/10, Amortycan Grickfitti - 6/10, Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion - 5.5/10, Rickternal Friendshine of the Spotless Mort - 8/10, Forgetting Sarick Mortshall - 7.5/10, Rickmurai Jack - 9.5/10. Definitely a mixed bag, especially by the show's usual standards, though far from without merit. Still plenty of brilliant ideas and entertaining episodes mixed in with the lackluster ones. On the whole, probably my least favorite season, though I still enjoyed the majority of it.
