Rick and Morty (2013– )
5/10
Goodnight sweet prince

Sad to see such a great show die, but no king rules forever (my son). 4 bad episodes in a row now. They feel so unnatural, forced. It's like the writers changed completely, not the voice actor. If I didn't know Roiland was swapped for somebody else I woudn't have noticed by just voices alone. But voices aside, the writing is irredeemable. A show that had such great episodes in the earlier seasons that it had infinite rewatchability, has come to this.

Other episodes of the season were bad as well, with varying degrees. But the last one (s07e04) had no funny moment. At all. Simply no witty dialogue. No cool story. Instead of absurd scenes, where the whole setting is funny to begin with, it's just shock value.

In the earlier seasons it was maybe 1 (one) bad episode per season. Right now we are looking at 1 (one) GOOD episode per season, optimistically. It is well and truly over.

Despite a few cringe episodes in the earlier seasons, that I wrote off as nonexistant in my headcanon , this was at one point my favourite TV show. Now turned mediocre. At this point I'd rather just watch Family Guy and South Park. Despite both shows being past their prime, at least there is some "in your face" humor to be found there. All that's left in Rick and Morty is a lame, unfunny regurgitation of the things we've seen or a subpar social commentary.

"Morty, I discovered suicide. It's when you die by killing yourself, Morty. And we're gonna make it an episode. Season 9 more seasons of Rick and Morty for 97 more years" 10 for the first few season and 1 for the latest instalments, with average rounded down to 5 . Adios.
