Has a wry sense of satirical humor, very unique take on what would normally be a cliche premise, and character dynamics that are both real and interesting to watch.

The tongue-in-cheek figure of speech is used to imply that a statement or other production is humorously or otherwise not seriously intended, and it should not be taken at face value. The facial expression typically indicates that one is joking or making a mental effort. In the past, it may also have indicated contempt, but that is no longer common.
That's what wikipedia says

Sorry guys, but Rick and Morty really isn't that good. I'm not saying this to be contrarian, I really enjoyed it the first time I watched it. However, watching it again made me notice how lazy it is. Almost every single episode is a stupid movie parody, with some superficial sci-fi themes and lame improvisations. Rewatching Rick and Morty was a bad idea, because the things you initially thought were imaginative and funny turn out to be really cobbled together, obnoxious, and often forgettable. Not that there aren't genuinely good episodes, but as a whole it rarely manages to have a consistent quality, and it hardly raises to anything above Futurama or even early Family Guy.

It all depends on how much you sympathize with Rick as to how those sad moments seem. One of my friends cant see rick as anything other than an asshole and he has the same criticism. I see him as someone who hates the person he became and uses the adventures with morty to help him forget what a shit he is. The sad moments are alright to me since they dont really take up the majority of the show and, rather, just give you a window into how fucked up Rick is.

>Dysfunctional family
Its them trying to keep the base of the show grounded in "reality". Remember the key to making sci-fi and fantasy click with the viewers is to give the watcher a base that they can identify with in some way. This helps them accept the bullshit that happens later.

Season 2, on the whole, was not only "not as good" but demonstrated strong indicators that S3 would be even worse.

S2 wasn't bad. It was just worse. Summer got some great development, and then there was that assassin guy, and then the whole Poopy Buttwhole episodes which were all great, but when I think of Rick & Morty all the good episodes that come to mind happened in S1

Maybe I'm a contrarian but anytime someone says "This is really good! You SHOULD watch it!!" I instantly get turned off the idea. At some point I decided to give it a go and watched the first episode and I didn't laugh so I never saw the second. Also the art style hurt my eyes, Ricks voice and speech patterns or whatever its called was like nails on a chalkboard and it sounded like every character was still in college doing the recording in some basement

I've been like that too. It's gotten to the point where I try to shut myself off from opinions before I try something so I can decide for myself if I like it, and THEN see what other people think about it. The problem is I might not find out about some things that way, but the way I see it, if it's good enough to be worth watching, it will eventually find its way to me.

Justin Roiland is actually kind of hilarious. I listened to an episode of his podcast in which he ranted earnestly that Jesus was an ancient alien with some iPhone miracle tech that was meant to check up on human civilization two thousand years after the Mayans, and he got murdered, and so we were all going to die 2000 years after that, in 2012. However, Dan Harmon's influence on the show is absolutely the worst thing about it. The fact that Jerry, Beth, and usually Summer are categprically unrelatable, and yet, half the episodes with a "down-to-earth family b-story" seem to work under the assumption that we care whatsoever about those characters. That only got worse in thr second season. The consistent attempts to wring some kind of emotional response from even Rick's and Morty's interior struggles shit on the entire ethos of both sci-fi and comedy. Sci-fi Comedy Melodrama doesn't fucking work. I also think this is Harmon's influence. Roiland's performances are unassailable and, when the derivative themes and plots are less parody than pastiche, thr "high concept sci-fi rigamarole" is, at least, entertaining, which is of course all the show should set out to do.
