Season 2 transforms the little spin-off-that-could underdog into a bona fide juggernaut in its own right.īut Solar Opposite's recently released Season 2 transforms the little spin-off-that-could underdog into a bona fide juggernaut in its own right, raising audience enthusiasm up to 92 percent. The first season's 78 percent Rotten Tomatoes audience rating (while far from a precise metric) captured the positive yet slightly unconvinced fandom which gave four seasons of Rick and Morty a 93 percent average.
Great, but in the context of an impossible standard, not as revolutionary or impeccable as the Adult Swim show that permanently changed the game for adult animated TV.
Still, Hulu's Solar Opposites couldn't avoid coming off as kind of diet, "pretty good" Rick and Morty. It's a testament to the talent behind the scenes that Season 1 managed to be so promising, distinct yet of a piece enough with the Rick and Morty oeuvre to please fans and critics alike. Solar Opposites, spearheaded by Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland, always had an uphill battle to climb: The inevitable, constant comparison to one of the most fanatically beloved and critically acclaimed animated shows of all time.
