Plot: Rick, an alcoholic sociopath and scientist, lives with his daughter Beth’s family. Apart from building gadgets, he takes his morally right but dimwit grandson Morty on absurd intergalactic adventures.
Season 7 of Rick and Morty was Great.
Pros: The voices for both Rick and Morty are well done replacements from the previous actor Justin Roiland. This season had tons of fun, entertaining and thrilling one-offs and lots of high points. Rick finally gets his long awaited retribution against his evil double ganger. Appearances from previous characters and I like seeing the character growth from Rick and Morty respectively.
Cons: Evil Morty overpowered Rick Prime instead of rich himself. I didn’t like the first few episodes of this current season and at times the comedy didn’t work for me.
