However, around its third or fourth season, it suddenly blew up and became a global pop-cultural phenomenon.

Throughout its seven seasons and counting,Rick and Mortyhas weathered all kinds of problems.

But one issue that has persisted is that the show just isnt as great as it used to be.

The genius of the first couple of seasons was short-lived, andRick and Mortyhas been pretty hit-and-miss ever since.

It can still deliver fantastic episodes, but its not as consistently brilliant as it originally was.

In seasons 1, 2, and 3, it felt like the series had infinite possibilities.

But as its gotten into seasons 6 and 7,the possibilities are starting to feel less infinite.

Having said that, the show has improved in a lot of other ways.

Rick and Morty talking to the alternate selves

Rick and Morty is an animated science fiction series that follows the eccentric scientist Rick Sanchez and his impressionable grandson Morty Smith as they embark on perilous adventures across space and alternate dimensions. The show explores the impact of these exploits on Morty’s tumultuous family life and personal challenges.

Beth, Jerry, and Summer have been developed more as characters as the series has gone on.

Plus, there was a lot of racy humor in the earlier seasons that hasnt aged particularly well.

The later seasons avoid some of the more problematic joke areas, which has made the comedy more inclusive.

And its easy to see why Fear No Mort is rated so highly; it really is that good.
