Rick and Morty

For those people who might have it in their heads that animated series are just for kids and the youngsters, this show is one of the many that will prove you wrong. 'Rick and Morty' may just be on the second season so far, but it has already grown to be one of my favourites. Revolving around the daily adventures of an alcoholic mad scientist Rick and his grandson Morty, the humour element of this series is off the charts. 

The whole concept is not only entertaining, but quite interesting as well since it can be looked at from different angles. On the one hand, what you have here is an ordinary family with regular issues much like the next person on the block, but on the other side, you also get to witness a form of escapism from this so called 'regular' life. I suppose I can't speak for everyone when I say that I dream of a method wherein I can get away from my normal existence and go for a spin in another dimension. Really, their dilemmas are just as messed up as ours, if only to be made quite amusing. 

Whilst the episodes may seem completely crazy at first glance, at a deeper level, you begin to realize just how twisted some things are and that is definitely a uniqueness about the show. The ideas are not only creative but the execution is brilliant too, and the principle of some of those ideas could be effective in real life, if you actually analyse the hidden psychology of the episodes. In a nutshell, the whole series is weird as hell and I think that is exactly why the success rate is going high. 

My only negative point would be that some of the episodes aren't all that humourous as the rest, with only a few scenes being funny. Nonetheless, 'Rick and Morty' has potential to become of the best animated series and I have a feeling it's already getting there. If you want a bit of wackiness on your viewing list, this is the show for you. 

The second season began on July 26, 2015 and on August 2015, it was renewed for a third season. 

Happy binge-watching!
