There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

There is a reason Rick and Morty Season 2 keeps coming up in conversation. Rick and Morty Season 2 does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. After Rick and Morty decided to unfreeze time, they must deal with alien parasites, alternate Jerrys and a decaying, possibly non-existent dimension. Justin Roiland and Chris Parnell lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2015. What keeps Rick and Morty Season 2 from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It sustains a level of quality that very few manage to hold onto all the way through.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Rick and Morty Season 2 respects your intelligence. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Justin Roiland anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
