Nomortland

I loved this episode. We don't get many Jerry adventures, and when we do, they hit. Seeing Jerry be Jerry with another Jerry (jeez, what a mouthful) is super fun and enjoyable. I liked the Jerry with a beard and how our Jerry helps him man up. Also the reveal that everyone in his dimension has a beard was a very funny reveal, probably my favorite joke from the episode.

The villain Jerry wasn't really a villain here and he didn't really do much, but I do like how it implies that Jerry can get things done if they wants to. It goes to show Jerry isn't as stupid as we think he is.

I also really like how our Jerry's family was worried he was gone and looked for him. I'll edit this review in the future, but overall, this is an amazing episode.

9/10.

I started watching this show for the wild adventures of Rick and Morty - not to see the entire family taking over the season. So far, we've only had one episode that felt like the classic adventures we're used to. It's fine if the family gets an episode or two each season, but 6 or 7 out of 8 episodes being focused on them? That's just not logical.

Even Rick hasn't really done anything this season, and Morty is basically missing. The show has completely lost one of its most important elements - the fun, crazy adventures that made it special in the first place.

So far, this season feels like a huge letdown. The episodes are below average, and the direction they're taking doesn't make sense. If you want to highlight the family, give them an episode or two, or let them share scenes in each episode like previous seasons - but don't make every single episode about them.

As a longtime fan of Rick and Morty, I found NoMortland mildly enjoyable - mostly because any episode focusing on Jerry tends to bring out a few unexpected laughs. But beyond that, the episode left me feeling disappointed, and honestly, disconnected.

What once felt like a brilliant mix of sci-fi chaos and emotional honesty now feels hollow and performative. The sharpness is gone. It's like Family guy. The heart is gone. And what's left is a show that seems to be running on autopilot, dressing up mediocrity with self-referential gags that used to mean something.

At times, it feels like the writers are sitting alone in a room, looking into a mirror, shaking their own hands and saying, "Congratulations!" " Oh, Thank you!" - giving themselves credit for being clever, while the actual content falls flat. There's no real irony left, just the performance of it.

I used to be excited when a new episode dropped. Now, I barely care. The respect I once had for the show, the characters, and the creative vision behind it is gone. I'm not even angry - just uninterested.

Here's hoping something new comes along soon, because Rick and Morty no longer earns its place among the shows that treat their audience - or themselves - with any real respect.

Remember Mortynight Run where Jerry gets left in a Jerry Daycare with a ton of other Jerries. Well this felt like an overdue follow up to that where now Jerry gets to explore those other universes that are missing their Jerry. This episode was fun, easy going, and but also showcased the personal growth Jerry has made over the years. This episode was also the right balance of gags while having a self contained story. We see brief snippets of crazy alternate Rick N Morty universes as Jerry hops around, pausing on each just long that they never overstay their welcome or tire out their gag. It was nice seeing Jerry finally live a little after all the hard work he never does.

For most of the series, Jerry has been little more than a comedic device the walking punchline, the default scapegoat, always just out of reach of dignity or depth. He's the character things happen to, rarely someone they happen for. But in this standout episode, the writers take a sharp and refreshing turn, offering us a rare glimpse beneath Jerry's hapless surface and the result is both hilarious and unexpectedly moving.

The humor is as sharp as ever, maintaining the show's signature blend of absurdity, irreverence, and unpredictable wit. Jokes land with precision, and even in its most surreal moments, the episode never loses its comedic footing. But what sets this episode apart is how it manages to balance that humor with genuine character work specifically for Jerry.

For once, Jerry isn't simply there to be ridiculed. Instead, we see multiple versions of him each reflecting a different shade of his personality, or perhaps, his potential. There's the hopeless dreamer, the would-be hero, the emotionally sincere version often buried under layers of self-doubt. It's not about making Jerry cool or suddenly competent it's about giving him dimension. And it works.

What's most impressive is how organically the episode weaves Jerry's emotional arc into the fabric of its story. His growth doesn't come from a grand victory or a sudden change in fortune it comes from a quiet, almost unnoticed shift in how he sees himself. The writing trusts the audience to pick up on this subtle evolution, and it pays off.

By the end, Jerry is still Jerry flawed, fumbling, and funny but he feels more human.
