I haven’t watched Rick an Morty. Am I missing much or is the humor too modern for a Xillennial?

The joke is straightforward. 2 minute cold open of a quick adventure becoming a massive ordeal breaking them, making Rick say they need a vacation which the episode is about.

Oh I know the joke. I really mean about the show. Is it just very quotable/memeable or is it good too?

[-] Allonzee@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

It's my favorite show still on air.

it's very fun, and the creator made another show Solar Opposites that is very good too. honestly think i prefer it to Rick and Morty!

[-] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

I heard of that. Might check that one out instead.

Honestly, give it a watch and see if it's for you. Last I saw it was available to stream on Hulu (and uBlock Origin does a good job blocking Hulu's ads)

I found it enjoyable but I don't have a strong need to rewatch it. It's raunchy and absurdist, but does some cool SciFi things I haven't seen elsewhere. But it's way less deep and intellectual than some of its stans seem to think

That sounds like a very fair description. Thank you.

Does Hulu still block Canadians though?,

First season is decent but contains a lot of piss/fart/burp jokes; it calms down a bit afterwards. The really best seasons are 4 and onwards.

It’s fun to watch if you’re not too easily offended and like the genre.

To be fair, there's a lot of GREAT shows that needed a few episodes to a season to really find themselves.

Rick and Morty took half a season, Supernatural was a slog for over a season until it started leaning into having fun instead of just brooding, the Doctor Who Reboot's production values are distracting for the first season, on and on.

Honestly, the best shows seem to need to go on a bit of a vision quest early on.

I watched the very first episode, it was pretty bad. Also the fan base are awful.

[-] cheers_queers@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

it's easy to avoid the fandom. esp if you aren't on Reddit lol

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

It got a LOT better in later seasons
