10 Best Animated TV Shows Of The 2010s
2. Rick And Morty
Of all the animated shows currently going, Rick and Morty is far and wide the greatest. The humour alone is amazing - from the hilariously graphic visuals to the coarse script, aided by the fact that each cast member delivers their lines with impeccable timing and emotion.
This cartoon series is a study of the unhinged genius Rick Sanchez and his dim-witted grandson Morty as they explore the depths of the universe, often leaving behind chaos in every dimension they cross paths with.
The show's writers have a thorough knowledge of cosmology and astronomy, to the point where the episodes can get a little bit too complicated to understand. But the advantage of this means there is an unlimited plethora of storylines just waiting to be covered, therefore keeping the animated sitcom fresh and unpredictable.
It's the seamless intertwining of comedy and science fiction, underlaid by a little bit of gritty family drama, that has given Rick and Morty a legendary status. Given how consistently thrilling the first four seasons have been, fans remain in great anticipation as to what season five has in store.
