Current Events > Rick and Morty is really draining

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sometimes Ill put it on in the background since it is on Netflix is my country. I thought it would be something decent, but wow, this show

I liked watching it before. Its funny, usually clever, interesting. But man people were right, this show really does love winking to the camera and getting meta after season 3. Sometimes it is funny, but it gets a bit eye-rolling as it goes on.

Not to mention how unbearably negative it can be at times. I dont mind jerk characters, the the bleakness of every character and plot gets exhausting, mentally.

Ive watched and read a lot of weird stuff, but for some reason, this show actually made me think that I need to be more positive and less cynical.

I watched season 1

Found it reasonably fun and funny.

Watched S2E1, saw it was exactly more of the same (and a fair bit more of the stuff I didn't enjoy in the first season) and noped out fast af boi

Yeah they ran out of ideas fast

Sometimes I think it's a shame shows go on too long. Sure it's great that it's successful but when you reach the giant sperm episode or the sex dragons episode or the space train episode. It's clear these are undeveloped B ideas

Oh yeah, the dragons and sperm episode were not only grotesque, but kind of stupid and childish too. Not in a thats the point, but did they even try way. Id also say Two Crows, was also really dumb. The more i think about it, the more everything after season 3 seemed to get really pretentious I. Kind of liked Space Train, but only because it reminded me of a writing class I took in college.

On the flip side, I think the Piss Master episode was one of the better ones.

I agree. Taking away the Deus Ex Machina and just doing fun stories really did feel good. And not because of nice Rick either, it just felt fun.

I used to be super into it, watched the first 3 seasons religiously. Seasons 4 and 5 were a clear step down in quality and I still haven't seen season 6.

Can't stand Rick and Morty since season three. I'll still rewatch some of the great episodes from season one and two from time to time. Some of those episodes are top tier science fiction comedy.
