Rick and Morty hits the reset button after a two-year hiatus

Indiewire

The Adult Swim series kicked off Season 4 with a "bloody, brilliant reset," says Steve Greene. "Maybe this premiere is setting the table for looking at the long-term consequences of being dragged around dimensions, recombining matter, and existing momentarily as an all-powerful kinetic god-being," he says. "It’s not necessarily new ground, but even without the aid of a future-predicting crystal, there’s still a sense that the show is seeing itself through new eyes."

ALSO:

• Season 4 premiere is, somewhat disappointingly, a throwback to a simpler Rick and Morty
• Season 4 cements the show's biggest, Rick-est power shift
• “Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat” is still shockingly funny and worth the two-year wait
• Justin Roiland gives an update on Kanye West collaboration: "“There’s not a clock on it,” he says. “We’ve hung with him, we’ve chatted, we’ve brainstormed… I don’t know when that will materialize, if it will materialize, but I know if it does it will be amazing."
