John Nugent Empire Magazine 02/15/2019
Demonstrates an uncanny self-awareness and emotional depth. It is, arguably, one of the best things the show has ever done. Go to Full Review Jenny Jaffe New York Magazine/Vulture 09/15/2017
5/5
The hype was earned. "Pickle Rick" is brilliant. Go to Full Review Steve Greene IndieWire 09/14/2017
B+
Thanks to the show indulging each side of a psychological divide between extreme sci-fi and straightforward, small-scale family drama, there will always be more to "Pickle Rick" than a three-syllable war cry. Go to Full Review Sean Fitz-Gerald and Eric Vilas-Boas Thrillist 02/15/2019
How did the Rick and Morty writers come up with 23 seemingly random minutes that manage to be just as funny, action-packed, and deep as many of the blockbusters that've come out this summer? Go to Full Review Liam Hoofe Flickering Myth 02/15/2019
Hilarious and featured some of the most imaginative action sequences the show has ever put together. Go to Full Review Vrai Kaiser The Mary Sue 02/15/2019
