Rick and Morty


What happens when two comical geniuses create a show about an infinite number of universes? The answer is perhaps one of the most unique and comical shows ever created.

From the first episode writers Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon have solidified Rick and Morty as a crude, boundary pushing show with very few limitations. The plot of the series follows the strange and often highly dangerous adventures of Rick Sanchez (Justin Roiland) an alcoholic / genius scientist with the knowledge and ability to travel across and between different universes. However, Rick is not alone on his adventures. He is always accompanied by his highly uneducated grandson Morty Smith (Justin Roiland), Morty’s role on these adventures is to assist Rick and make up for Ricks apparent lack of morals. This difference often results in Morty and others getting insulted or horribly injured with both Morty’s legs being broken in the first episode and many aliens murdered.

Along with the two main characters comes a truly unique cast of supporting characters made up of humans and aliens alike. The most prominent characters being Jerry Smith (Chris Parnell) , Beth Smith (Sarah Chalke), Summer Smith (Summer Smith) , Squanchy (Tom Kenny) and Birdperson (Dan Harmon) just to name a few.

Rick and Morty has run for a total of 5 years. With 3 seasons and a total of 32 episodes the show appears to have no sign of slowing down with a new season hopefully on the way.

Overall, I give Rick and Morty an 11/10 (I’m the editor I can do that).



Warning 
Whilst being an animated show this is definitely not one for kids. I repeat DO NOT watch this with the family as it is rated MA15+ and as such should not be watched by anyone under the age of 15.

The IT Crowd

The IT Crowd The IT Crowd is a simple, yet hilarious British Comedy show based around the semi-disastrous lives of two antisocial IT professionals, Maurice Moss (played by Richard Ayoade) and Roy Trenneman (played by Chris O’Dowd). Throughout each series the pair provide IT support for their company, Reynhold Industries under the watchful eye of their new department supervisor Jen Barber (played by Katherine Parkinson), who does not understand technology in the slightest. Together the trio end up getting themselves into ridiculous situations that defy even the most basic form of common sense. Many such situations getting them into trouble with their somewhat unusual boss Denholm Reynholm (played by Christopher Morris) and later their even stranger boss Douglas Reyholm (played by Matt Berry) the son of Denholm.

The Office (US)

Hey guys! It's Sushmi here again, with yet another sitcom, The Office (US version). This show is one that I've recently started watching and it's a really good show to pass time and procrastinate, with short 20-25 minute episodes that are extremely funny. As the title suggests the show revolves around an office, a branch of a paper company in Scranton, America called 'Dunder Mifflin'. It shows the everyday lives of the staff of this company under the management of their eccentric manager, Michael Scott, played by Steve Carell, a very talented actor who has starred in many successful movies, eg. Despicable Me Series, Get Smart. Even though the staff are working a boring everyday sales role, the interactions within each character is what makes the show so good. The main recurring roles include a love interest between receptionist, Pam, and sales, Jim Chapman. Along side with Jim works, Dwight Shrute, a hilarious character  with a lack of good social skills and co...
