I think you need to see 1.03. That sets up a lot of stuff. 5 and 6 are good as well. So, like, take it from 3?

You could jump to 1.08 (the Herb Kazazz episode) if you want to check how good it gets, and then double back, perhaps?

I reckon 7 is just as devastating as 8 in its own quieter way

Imago's comparison is bad because rick n morty is much closer in quality to bojack (arguably better in some ways) than family guy or South Park for that matter are to the simpsons

fine fine fine, i'll watch more of it. as we've learnt you should never judge a series by the first few episodes, kids
― imago, Wednesday, 30 August 2017 19:46 (six years ago) link
They should just stop making the first few episodes, then. Problem solved.

Which modern multi-series shows were at top quality (by the show's standard) straight out of the gate I wonder
― imago, Wednesday, 30 August 2017 19:56 (six years ago) link
maybe not modern but Ren and Stimpy was top quality pretty much out of the gate

Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Battlestar Galactica - and those are just the Bs! - Fargo, Party Down, Justified, The Wire, The Americans ...
Comedies seem to have it tougher, since so much timing and whatnot stems from chemistry and being comfortable with one another, writers and actors alike.

most animated comedies i think of took a couple years to cohere. king of the hill, simpsons, etc
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Thursday, 31 August 2017 06:39 (six years ago) link
id argue so far s3 of rick & morty seems like inarguably the most consistent so far

OK, I realized I had only seen the first episode, so gave it a fair shake. I made it to maybe halfway through episode 5 and ... nah, not going to happen. Either I am 25 years too old to find this funny, or maybe it's just not funny. Probably a combination.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 5 September 2017 16:51 (six years ago) link
tbf Josh you do have consistently terrible opinions
― flopson, Tuesday, 5 September 2017 16:56 (six years ago) link
first episode still the best of this season imo but i like the more complex plots. overall def worse than s1 and s2 (nothing this season has been as funny as KEEP. SUMMER. SAFE.) but still one of the best shows
― flopson, Tuesday, 5 September 2017 16:58 (six years ago) link
Either I am 25 years too old to find this funny
i definitely don't think of this as a show that appeals primarily to v young ppl
― Mordy, Tuesday, 5 September 2017 17:32 (six years ago) link
No, I agree with that, I was just being flip. I just meant the fleeting stuff in it meant to be funny I didn't think was very funny, just non sequitur wannabe shocking.

is the new season out?
fwiw i dont think BJH really picks up until the end s1

s3's finale pulls off emotional/tone whiplash better than almost anything I've seen in recent memory.

I love how sparing this show is with uh, "foul language" or whatever. Swearing isn't inherently funny, which a lot of shows seem to assume, and this show only throws it in when necessary, which weighs it SO much more. Tbh though this is basically a drama with comedic elements and comparing it to the average sweary comedy seems odd. It's also odd to have the only relatable show on tv that deals with depression/addiction be a cartoon about an asshole horse (as noted above) but I'll take what's available. It's not the first time I've felt voiced by Will Annett.

― albvivertine, Friday, 8 September 2017 07:43 (six years ago) link
not just sparing. each series only contains ONE use of 'fuck', on each occasion used by an old friend of bojack's severing ties with him. when that was pointed out to me it blew me away.

what will season four's fuck be? D: etc
I think I just meant an *is. Something about this show, maaaaan xpost

Thanks for a) making it even worse and b) giving new a reason to rewatch

*me. So did the use of "cunt" once mean anything? It shocked me a little.
