'Rick and Morty' Season 1 is Best Since 'Arrested Development'

Adult Swim's new animated series Rick and Morty might not be the most universal shows around, but its first season is reportedly doing incredibly well according to Metacritic. Despite airing at 10:30pm on Cartoon Network and having pretty low viewership, it has garnered the most impressive critical acclaim from professionals and fans since Arrested Development.
