Upon it's debut, Rick and Morty became a massive hit for Adult Swim. The adventures of Rick Sanchez, a genius scientist, and his grandson Morty stood out from other adult animated shows with their sci-fi concepts and humor. Fans of the show have gotten to know an incredibly varied range of characters, from the Smith family to recurring side-characters like Birdperson and Mr. Poopybutthole, whilst being entertained by the endless possibilities the show seems to have. With the focus of the series stemming from each episode containing a different adventure, the series has had the chance to experiment with serialization and longer story arcs to differing results.
