"Rick and Morty" Season 2 will end on Sunday and looking back, it is clear that this TV series offers a fresh take on what critics say is the "reboot syndrome" affecting the movie and TV industry these days.
With "Rick and Morty" second season ending soon, fans and critics dissect just how important the show has become compared to recycling movie and TV concepts which is aptly called the "reboot syndrome" affecting many filmmakers today. According to a review by Entertainment Weekly, the show will end on Sunday with 20 episodes under its belt. Each episode runs approximately 22 minutes each that would total around seven hours for those who want to binge watch on the series.
In the same report by Entertainment Weekly, "Rick and Morty" began their journey together in an episode that took pages from "Doctor Who" and "Back to the Future." It was also mentioned that Rick is the kind of mad scientist that has an invention for everything. Morty, on the other hand, is his grandson.
There is one thing that sets "Rick and Morty" apart from other TV series and that is unpredictability. There is no standard formula the creators follow for each episode. However, there is a unique style that is emerging from the show; one that fans and critics can easily tell belongs to "Rick and Morty." This is the concept of the planet being assaulted in various ways by either an alien, a parasite, or even a time-space continuum that occurs out of the blue.
In a report by The Guardian, an interview with "Rick and Morty" co-creator may point out to how the show is created for each episode. Harmon was compared to an "oil strike"; messy, continuously gushing and enriching. At one point he talks about "Ghostbusters" and then the next he is raving about "The Witches" by Roald Dahl.
