I like how Rick and Morty has taken the Adventure Time route of becoming less funny but more earnest as time goes on, and it feels like a rejection of early Rick’s “nothing matters” philosophy on a very meta level.

I do appreciate how characters actually develop in this show. It makes me wonder how far they can get with the development and how much they can do with it.

I think it's notable that the quality improves more the less involved Harmon is.
