Rick and Morty season 3 (2017)

2017.10.02
Just finished watching the last episode of S3. It felt right; it felt earned. I want to want more, but it was plenty. Its enough to sustain you for the probably multi-year wait for S4.
I can see Rick and Morty as a product now. Over the years it has established enough of a shape that you can see the silhouette. You have a sense now of the formula of how much sci-fi stuff, cultural references, meta and self-references that the show is made of. And it is good.
But it is no longer exciting or dangerous. There were a few episodes there were it felt dangerous and new, but now it has found its track.
It could be that again. I'll find out later, but even if I don't it has left its mark.
