What to Know

Critics Consensus

"The Rickshank Redemption" answers the despairing cliffhanger of Rick and Morty's second season finale with a rollicking and uproariously funny dismantling of the series' status quo, kickstarting the third season with a fresh start and a side order of szechuan sauce.

Alison Herman The Ringer 02/14/2019
What a hysterical, unhinged reveal. What a gut punch. What a commitment to the ever-deepening blackness at the heart of this show. Rick and Morty is starting Season 3 the most Rick and Morty it's ever been. Go to Full Review

An unhinged Rick confesses to Morty that his only character arc, his only true driving force, is to acquire that Mulan Szechuan sauce. Go to Full Review

If the show's quality remains this great, then we've got lots to look forward to this season. Go to Full Review
Sean Fitz-Gerald and Eric Vilas-Boas Thrillist 02/15/2019
Our sociopathic hero, our unfeeling emissary of delicious depravity, is back, darker than ever. Touching, hilarious, subversive, this episode undoes the poignant brilliance of the Season 2 finale with just as much, if not more, heft and fun. Go to Full Review
Liam Hoofe Flickering Myth 02/15/2019
It managed, somehow, to defy everybody's already incredibly high expectations. Go to Full Review
Vrai Kaiser The Mary Sue 02/15/2019
It sets the tone as it means to go on, kicking the status quo in the teeth until the landscape for the rest of the season is almost a blank slate. Go to Full Review
