What is Rick and Morty About?

Rick is a scientist, alcoholic, and nihilistic man, who takes his grandson Morty on various interstellar and interdimensional adventures.

He lives with his daughter Beth, who is such a joy to be around.

(sarcasm is given in Rick and Morty world)

Rick is inventing god-knows-what gadgets and taking his dimwit yet good-hearted grandson along.

Child safety is not a thing in RicknMorty-verse. The series is for adults since the humor is satirical, dark, and explicit.
