Absolutely Killed it.

Another classic "Rick and Morty episode.

Rick (Justin Roiland) is arrested by the council of Ricks following a spate of Ricks being murdered around the multiverse. As Rick has refused to join the council, he is the lead suspect, but escapes with Morty (Justin Roiland) and tries to find the real culprit. Meanwhile, Jerry (Chris Parnell) and a somewhat less intelligent version of Rick form a bond.

Again, this is a super funny, super clever episode, introducing us to the recurring council of Ricks and further the idea that there's a Rick and Morty in each plane of existence. Everything is truly clicking now, the animation is great, the vocal performances are consistent and the story is really ingenious. The only thing that doesn't quite ring true is how easily Morty forgives Rick at the end - though the uneasiness between the two continues on and recurs throughout the show.

Great great stuff.
