Anyone a fan of this show? I had no clue of it's existence til' like a couple months back. It has been a pleasant surprise. A bit of a synopsis for those unfamiliar --
The show looks like a Back to the Future Parody, but plays out more like a buddy cop misadventure. It's interesting to watch two characters with such contrasting outlooks deal with the dilemmas brought upon by their adventures, especially the more existentially heavy ones. I guess that's what makes such shows like X-Files and True Detective successful. It does a good job of providing social commentary and confronting some of the more darker themes, without looking like a depressive adolescent who just stumbled upon Nietzsche. Strikes a good balance with cheekiness and humor as well, without being too obnoxious and shallow.
Season 2 is coming up this summer, I believe.
Wikipedia said:Rick is an eccentric scientist and elderly alcoholic who has recently moved in with his daughter's family. He spends most of his time taking his young grandson Morty and later other family members on dangerous, outlandish adventures throughout the cosmos and alternate universes. Compounded with Morty's already unstable family life, these events cause Morty much distress at home and school.
