I watched a couple of episodes and tried to like it, but felt like it was... soulless.
The dark comedies I like are grounded in some kind of warmth. Light? Hope? I dunno. That's part of why I'm so into "BoJack Horseman". But I got none of that from "Rick and Morty".
I wonder if what's bothering me is the utter lack of Fi.
Some people like a special kind of stuff and some people like other kind of stuff. As an ENTP I like to think there's more of an in depth meaning to Rick and Morty than what already lies before us. It pretty much questions our existence in every episode. When the Rick and Morty die in the universe and the other Rick and Morty replace them. Morty says: "Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's gonna die." Then what I've heard from a lot of people is that the show shows us two perspectives of our existence. Rick and Jerry. Jerry being the one oblivious too the soul crushing mediocrity of life and would rather be happy living in a simulation than his real life. And then there's Rick, who understands life's misery and accepts it. Though he disguises his anger, pain and misery through sarcastic comments and "assholery"; he's in great pain. Seen by him saying his catch phrase: "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub" which literally translates to: "I'm in great pain." Some would say the life Jerry lives is better off than Rick's; That he enjoys the life he's given rather than Rick who understands the shit, accepts it yet suffers. I don't know, maybe I'm reading in to much. I love the show though.
