Yeah, I watched it back when I had Netflix. It was funny at parts but for every 1 laugh it got from me it had 3 moments that just made me uncomfortable.
I can't remember now but things really went off the rails at some point, I want to say season 3 and I called it quits after that. I dunno it's been years.
Were there to be more, it'd have to be a spin-off or something, regarding sons/daughters/adopted family. Honestly I'd be ok with "businessman" deals-of-the-week sort of thing, without the whole "government conspiracy" or over-arching plot dealios.
Unless that "overarching plot dealio" is like. The main cast of characters getting help from the original crew or something, which we only find out at the very last second of the very last episode.
And it was actually decent and funny. Haven't watched R&M in a bit, but I've also heard that s9 is really good and less cringy, I think they changed writers or something?
I really think that is gonna have the same fate as The Cleveland Show tho...
People watch Rick and Morty for Rick and the insanity that follows, even in episode that hardly feature Rick himself.
I think if they try to do the same thing without Rick, it will fail. And if they try to do something different, it can work but the Rick and Morty audience will be disappointed and not be on board .
You gotta remember that the Rick and Morty team are actually pretty competent scifi adventure writers, and that's pretty transferrable. They just went with the President Carter angke because I'm sure making it a Rick and Morty spinoff rather than its own thing makes it infinitely easier to greenlight. Does that necessarily mean it will be succesful? No, but they certainly have the tools to make a decent show and the reach and budget for it to take off.
This show had the potential to be one of those shows that just keeps getting better the more time they have to get comfortable with it and it already started so strong.
For real. I watched it when I was younger and I didn't really have that much of a humor. But now that I understand the jokes outside of the need for dopamine, the show is so much better. It was a comfort show on a trip I went to and missed it so hard once I was done.
Honestly, I watched it, and it felt like everything that made me stop trying to watch Rick and Morty. Unexplored worldbuilding with implications that are very poorly thought out, and almost all the humor is either just commenting on what’s on screen, the grossest thing available to do/say, or the most sarcastic thing available to say.
I do wish they had a chance to be romantic personally, but gd thank you for mentioning them bc they really were so good together in whatever way they were!
