There are actual ideas underneath all the humor, and here's to them. As an "agent of Chaos", Rick should serve us for many years. The writers show a gift for twisting & adding-to old plots into new shows. We will see how long this can be maintained. The writers know where to push and where not to. The entire show is just chock full of nuggets and neither preaches nor deigns to condescend to the audience. The interaction between Rick and Morty hoists a bit from classic propaganda tropes without actually being propagandist a heck of a trick. There's a rich enough set of characters to provide ample space. This shifts of course, and with these sorts of shows they will always mix this for plot gain. The essential dyad at the center - the title characters - interact little with the more peripheral characters, who have mainly been used in B plots. Morty is our avatar, and works in that capacity extremely well. Philosophers have long debated the moral implications of "many universes" ( while realizing it's a bit sophomoric and nerdy ) "Rick and Morty" picks at this as its stock in trade. The strength of the show is just how amoral Rick may be but there is a strong attachment to the "many universes" hypothesis within the show. The ending of "Rick Potion #9" is just amazing. It is *dark*, but there are certainly moments that approach the limits of any sort of television style format.
