Night Family

This episode really gives me hope for the rest of the season. As usual the season premiere was great, and then after that there was a bit of a decline. I liked the A plot of the second episode, but the Die Hard plotline just didn't do it for me. The third episode had some funny moments, but there wasn't a very strong story to support it. Usually, Rick and Morty gives clever sci-fi stories, and I felt the third episode to be lacking in that. This episode, however, was (in my opinion) the funniest of the season so far, and the best conceptually. The tone was fresh and nearly all the jokes landed. If the season is able to keep up this quality, I think it would rank up there with the first 3 seasons.

This episode is clever, atmospheric, and just downright hilarious. Sure I got a kick out of Summer's die hard, and some of the jokes in the first episode of this season. But this is the first truly laugh out loud episode. I'll admit it's mostly visually funny. The "gasoline factory" and "firework museum" had me laughing my ass off, the truck of adderalls crashing was hilarious, and don't even get me started on the smart car scene! There are also a ton of other funny visual gags. Not to mention the whole concept of the night people revolting, while predictable, isn't really a concept R&M have fleshed out before. We're now seeing the full consequences of the season 5 finale in action.

This is an example of a Rick and Morty episode being good without being a parody of something else. I would go as far as saying this is the best episode of the season, and one of the best episodes of the whole show.

This episode was very fun to watch. It had a great start but the ending and second half of the episode really sealed the deal.

Tense and thrilling, Night Family gave Pickle Rick vibes but in a totally new area. While Pickle Rick highlighted Rick's chaotic and violent insanity, and his ability to turn any scenario into one in his favor, Night Family does justice by characterizing Rick as someone so stubborn... so self-centered... so nihilistically ego-driven that he would be willing to jeopardize his entire families safety over a dirty dish.

Bonus: The music was amazing, it was tense and felt like it came from an actual horror movie. The visuals were the best I've ever seen this or any season.

Clever way to make an episode about innie (night). This is a parody of severance. Night person is a person but Rick doesn't think they deserved to be listened to. He should have known not to let the night people communicate with the day people from the start! Summer reminded me of outie hellys video to innie Helly.

This episode really reminded me of severance. There is a free book in the Apple Books app that is a companion of the show. It's the same concept: innie person and outie person found a way to pass messages to each other. They basically become pen pals. This is my favorite episode of season 6. Btw watch severance on Apple TV amazing show.

I was pretty excited for this episode going into it. The teasers for the episode were very interesting and showed off a darker tone than usual. My expectations for this episode were high, and they were very easily surpassed. The only reason I'm not giving this episode a 10/10 is because I save scores like that for the true cream of the crop. However, Night Family is easily one of the best one-off episodes they've ever done. The animation and soundtrack in this episode is absolutely gorgeous and beyond belief. Rick and Morty has actually managed to be scary in this episode, and it work really well. There are several scenes from this episode that are absolutely horrifying (in a good way). The episode concept is both nightmarishly twisted and absolutely brilliant at the exact same time. This episode isn't like classic Rick and Morty, it's better than it.
