Season 7 of the series is the first after its creator (and voice lead) was fired over disturbing allegations of misconduct. The good news: You won’t miss him.
But those of us who do enjoy the Adult Swim cartoon—for its no-holds-barred humor, affecting character development, and narrative ambition—have found it harder than usual to defend the show.

While Season 6 ended on a plot-heavy note, Season 7 arrives as an accessible entry point for a lapsed or new viewer. There’s an overarching plot lingering in the background, involving Rick and Morty’s multiverse-hopping quest for revenge against the murderous “Rick Prime,” who killed our Rick’s wife and daughter in another timeline. But if you haven’t kept up with the canon, you’ll be fine; so far,Instead of Rick Prime, the first two episodes of Season 7 focus on Rick—and just Rick.
Morty’s love/hate relationship with his grandpa is missed, but watching Rick’s horrible science projects go awry with his pals and the rest of the family affirms how great the supporting cast is. As a major dickbag, Rick needs someone who’s less of a dickbag as a foil; Morty’s the best fit, but he’s not the only option.
