Rick And Morty: Every Season Four Episode Ranked Worst To Best

In such a short period of time, almost immediately after debuting, Rick and Morty earned itself a reputation as one of the most unique, most bizarre, and most interesting cartoons on TV. After three solid seasons, and 31 excellent episodes, the hype for season four was through the roof.

Typically between Rick and Morty seasons there had been a wait of a year to 18 months, however season four came a full two years after the finale of season three. Even then, we were only given half a season. The final five episodes came another six months later.

Needless to say, not only was the fans' excitement higher than ever going into the fourth season, so was the pressure to deliver after making us wait so long. In general, these ten episodes made up a season that certainly left a lot to be desired, though there were one or two absolute gems to be seen.

Boasting two of the highest IMDb scores the show has ever earned, and the absolute lowest, it's fair to say season four had its ups and downs, and unfortunately, the latter outweighed the former.

Thanks to Rick’s ability to travel through space, and across any number of different realities and dimensions, the possibilities for the show’s stories are literally limitless. Rick and Morty could have done great things with a dragon storyline, but instead became a terrible narrative surrounding jealousy and slut-shaming.

After asking Rick to get him a dragon, Morty found himself jealous of his grandfather's bond with his new pet. The wizard that sold the beast then returned to punish it for being a slut, before the episode delved into the bizarre world of dragon sex.

Not only was this the worst episode of the season, it was easily the worst episode of Rick and Morty, period. The main story with Liam Cunningham as Balthromar was simply not smart or funny despite the excellent guest star, and Jerry’s journey to Florida and beyond with Matthew Broderick as a talking cat was even less so, despite the excellent guest star.

So bad was this episode, that the show even went on to reference what a mistake the story was later in the same season. Worst adventure ever indeed.
