Yes, its great. Even the third season which a few on here didnt like (shocking eh) was fun.
Television Rick & Morty
- Thread starter Alock1
- Start date
It was a combination of a) the biggest Rick & Morty fan I know in real life being an absolute thundercnut of a person with those particular leanings and b) a distinct "SJW women writers have ruined the show" vibe coming from the internet at the time.
I'm sure it's absolutely unfair to characterise fans of the show in that way but nonetheless it put me off getting into it when there were so many other things to watch instead.
Head writer Dan Harmon hasn't exactly got a clean record, but he's far from an incel. You should be fine.
It's ultimately a juvenile try hard's meme-dream, so it'll attract the obnoxious types, but even so it's worth a watch for the excellent early episodes.
That is a hilariously bad excuse
It's hardly an excuse, I'm not under an obligation to watch it ffs.
There are more films, tv shows, albums and books to enjoy in the world than I will ever get through, it doesn't take a lot to drop something to the bottom of the list.
Forget what those little bitches think. The show is enjoyed by a far wider audience than those types. I’d highly recommend it.
Looking forward to it. Even if those bits are in the episodes, it will still be great when we see it.
First ep of the new season aired last night, looking forward to watching it tonight 
What channel is it on sky?
It's absolutely worth watching. Those in the incel/gamergate/alt-right communities who idolise Rick have completely missed the point that the show is trying to make with him. It's the same as people idolising Tony Soprano or Walter White or BoJack Horseman or Daenerys Targaryen. It's misplaced iconography that shows an almost wilful misunderstanding of a show they claim to love. Just like Tony, just like Walt, just like BoJack, just like Dany, Rick is at once a protagonist and a warning about power and greed, traditional expectations of masculinity, illness, etc. Season 3 really hammers that home, which I believe is part of why it wasn't as well-received as the first two, because audiences who idolise certain characters don't like being told that their reading of the show is wrong.
Mr. Meeseeks are back!!

Some of the writing in this show, seriously!
Loved the post-credits scene too.
Too many spoilers.
Anyone know if its aired on Netflix? Trying to watch the new episode.

It hasn't, and there's been no date announced for when they will be put on there. But Florida Man has kindly provided an alternative above.
So good

Pretty much this and I think the creator even said so himself that Rick isn't someone we're meant to idolize.
What a creative show, can't wait for next week's episode
This and It's Always Sunny are the two shows I can't get into.
I've gave Sunny numerous watches and it's just not for me. I think I'll give this show another go because sometimes it takes more than an ep or two for me to get into something.

It took me the whole of season 1 to get into Rick and Morty... At first I found it crude and scattered but once they found their groove R & M and South Park are 2 of the best animated series on television.
I don't know if I'm willing to give it a full season like yourself if I'm not enjoying it but I'll definitely be watching a few eps at least. I love Back to the Future so, with it being somewhat inspired by it (I think, right?), I'm going to give it some leeway
Fair enough if you still don't like Sunny after numerous goes. All I will say is that the first season isn't really a true reflection of the show - in fact I'd say the first four seasons are basically a different show. I still really love the early seasons but they basically take the South Park route of poking fun at hot-button issues and risque subject matter - racism, gun laws, abortion, child abuse and sex offenders, disability, Jihadism, welfare, "trannies", religion, North Korea, underage drinking and alcoholism, etc. - only without any kind of nuance or subtlety. Like I said, I enjoy the early seasons just as much as the rest of the show but there's a slight lack of respect for the subjects they're dealing with. The writing seems to approach each topic expecting the jokes to turn up by default because "lol abortion" or "lol terrorism". There are flashes of maturity in the early seasons (The Gang Gives Back, Sweet Dee's Dating a Retarded Person) but it's only by season 5/6 that the transformation is complete, where the show really starts making an effort to turn the joke squarely back on the five main characters. The jokes come not from the subject matter they're dealing with but from the gang's inability to cope with basically anything that requires a remotely sensitive touch, and they always lose out because of they're incapable of understanding even the most basic of social decencies. After season 5 the show comes at subjects like blackface, racism, homophobia, rape and sexual abuse, sexuality, weight gain, gun laws, etc. without skipping a beat when other shows just wouldn't dare touch them. It's definitely not as sharp as it used to be in terms of producing laughs every minute (although on current form, season 14 is on track to be their best season this decade) but it's a far more mature show now and has been for a long time. If you ever fancy picking it back up again I'd start from season 5 - when it makes the jump from 4:3 to 16:9 - and see how you feel. If it doesn't work for you by then, it never will, and that's fine!
This is tempting - I gave up after 3 seasons, I didn't hate it by any stretch of the imagination, just wasn't really into it and there are so many other shows that I just decided to drop it. But what sorta bugs me is that even if I did decide to pick it up again, it's not easily accessible (basically, not on Netflix) so it's a bit of a pain. I'm lazy.Fair enough if you still don't like Sunny after numerous goes.

It is on Netflix. 13 seasons of it. (Unless you're not UK-based?)
I'm not, I'm in Spain and I don't have it!

They're all pricks though.
That's the point.
Perhaps I was spoiled by Netflix/Amazon releases over the last few years, but I just find it difficult to wait a week until another 20 minute episode is out.
Brilliant show though, great writing.

What am I missing? The newest episode is the start of season 4.
They are talking about sunny.
Maybe, but why root for any of them when they're all trying to backstab and swindle each other and everybody else. In reality they'd all hate each other and have parted company during the 1st series.
There are pricks that are somewhat likeable, and pricks that are just pricks. Sunny (from what I saw) is filled with the latter type. Made the show unwatchable for me.
