Beloved, out-there animated series Rick and Morty is flipping the script in Season 6. Fans of the show, who’ve been on the edge of their seats since the cliffhanger ending of Season 5, will be happy to know that Season 6 dives right back in where the show left off.
After watching the first two episodes of the new season, it’s clear that something has changed in how the producers and writers are approaching the show.
The traditional story arcs and serialization that Rick and Morty has typically steered away from are on full display at the start of Season 6, making for a season debut that feels exciting and different — an important thing to evoke for a show that’s been going on as long as Rick and Morty has — yet still true to form.
