97% Tomatometer 29 Reviews 97% Audience Score 2,500+ Ratings 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.

Rick and Morty: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) 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 Rick and Morty: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) 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 Rick and Morty: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) 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 Rick and Morty: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) 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 Rick and Morty: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) 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 Rick and Morty: Season 1 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) 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. Feb 15, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
