Rick and Morty by Mischief Maker 09/19/2021, 7:25am PDT
After years of hearing about Rick and Morty and how smart it was, I finally binged seasons 4 and 5 on cable on-demand.

I dunno, felt like another Aqua Teen Hunger Force to me. Fecal humor, overconfident assholes, and shocking levels of gore for a cartoon. The "smart stuff" just seemed like generic Star Trek technobabble.

Season 4 was decent, with the vat of acid episode being the highlight. 5 had its moments but was pretty consistently lame. Everybody says they were crying to the Rickconvenient Truth episode but *spoiler* Morty and Planetina's relationship was constantly undermined for me by the gross incestuous implications of Rick taking his granddaughter to a series of orgies in the B plot.

Also while I get that the show's intentionally loosey-goosey with regard to continuity, why the hell did they decide the awful sperm episode needed a followup instead of being memory-holed?

I guess all the good stuff is in the first three seasons?
