15 Best Sci-Fi TV Shows Of The 21st Century
9. Rick And Morty
Coming
from Community creator Dan Harmon and improv genius Justin Roiland, adult swim’s
Rick and Morty has come a hell of a long way since its beginnings as, er, a
disturbing Back to the Future parody from cult comedy site Channel 101.
Now one of the most popular adult animated offerings on television, Rick and Morty has earned itself a massive fandom through witty deconstructions of familiar sci-fi tropes.
In case that sounds drily witty, it’s worth clarifying that the show’s clever genre twisting comes in the form of some gory, anarchic slapstick, and the show is as darkly hilarious and gleefully silly as it is pointedly meta.
