Compared to earlier seasons when everyone was at the mercy of Rick, they just bluntly call him out on his bullshit with no hesitation. It didn’t dawn on this writer how the Smith/Sanchez family developed throughout the years as a family and individuals. I will keep reassuring you until you believe me. “Solaricks” excels at the character development between the ensemble and how their relationships with either Rick or each other have significantly changed for the better. The writing is confident in exploring how with everything the Smith/Sanchez family has been through thus far, they’ve gotten harder and their dynamics have improved. That self-aware nature has been transferred onto other characters like Beth and it still works. ![]() The tone is consistently dark and sentimental while wearing its self-awareness on its sleeve. Given that Rick’s handy, dandy portal gun is out of commission, the season chucks it to the side and says, “No portals, no problem, we’re still Rick and Morty for 100 years” as it retains its satirical nature that is still side-splittingly funny. It wastes no time elaborating a new status quo for its upcoming adventures, whether it be its fresh episodic character line-ups or new modes of transportation. Without giving anything away, the Season 6 premiere episode “Solaricks” continues, strengthens, and wholeheartedly embraces the continuity built in since Season 1 in its classic cynical and self-aware tone that only Rick and Morty can accomplish. With the season ending on a cliffhanger that left us all hankering for what comes next, Season 6 opens right where the last left off. C-137’s Rick and Morty escaped the destroyed citadel while Evil Morty broke the Central Finite Curve to wipe away the multiversal abuse all Ricks had wreaked on Mortys. He conquered the Citadel of Ricks, only to destroy it. The fifth season concluded with the epic return and confrontation of Evil Morty/President Morty. Judging by the two episodes we screened for review, it is safe to say the sci-fi animated comedy is finally back on track with refreshing newness and hilarity. Thankfully, the long-awaited Season 6 of Rick and Morty has finally arrived. Despite the show’s active hesitance to dive into serialized arcs after multiple seasons of set-up, the fifth season finale was, if anything, the peak. Co-creator Justin Roiland himself admitted he, too, was disappointed by the season, which was understandably affected by the death of the series’ line producer, J. ![]() Season 5 was regarded as middling, at best, amongst fans and critics, for being not as inventive nor as funny as its predecessors. The Emmy Award-winning series has had its ups and downs in quality over the years, especially with its previous fifth season. ![]() For nearly a decade, Adult Swim’s Rick and Morty has been the channel block’s marquee animated series whose popularity speaks for itself.
