The Wedding Squanchers

Wow. Much like with Season 1, I was extremely apprehensive going into Rick and Morty's second season. It's tough for a show to live up to your expectations, especially after having them raised by such a strong first season.

Season 2 of Rick and Morty proved to be darker, funnier, and overall an improvement on Season 1. If it weren't for the show's only disappointing episode thus far (Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate), the second season of Rick and Morty had the potential to be perfect.

Despite Season 1 being more consistent overall, Season 2 featured some the greatest episodes we've ever seen on the show. I consider 'A Rickle in Time', 'Auto Erotic Assimilation', 'Total Rickall' and 'The Wedding Squanchers' to not only be some of my favourite episodes on any animated show ever, but also some of my favourite episodes on ANY show ever.

Much like Season 1, Rick and Morty still provides plenty of laughs and gags, yet the characters, much like the show, have matured, giving the show an overall darker feel. Looking back on Season 2, it's clear Harmon and Roiland were intent on developing Rick and furthering his character study. He has has come a long way from being the heartless drunk we perceived him to be during Season 1. If you thought the ending to Rick's Potion #9 was dark, 'Auto Erotic Assmilation' features one of the most heartbreaking sequences I've seen on TV in a long time. Season 2 showed us a whole new side of Rick, from 'A Rickle in Time' to the finale's heartbreaking cliffhanger, 'Rick and Morty' continues to amaze its fans by playing with their emotions in the most unexpected ways.

Powerful, emotional, and an overall brilliant season that cements Rick and Morty's position as one of the greatest shows on TV.

10/10.

Favourite Episode(s): A Rickle In Time, Auto Erotic Assimilation, Total Rickall + The Wedding Squanchers.
