"Rick and Morty" Season 7: A New Low in Rotten Tomatoes Ratings

Season 7 of "Rick and Morty" has seen a significant decline in its critical reception. According to Rotten Tomatoes data, 7 media outlets have reviewed this season, resulting in 4 positive reviews and 3 negative reviews, with an overall freshness rating of 57%. Audience ratings, on the other hand, stand at a mere 33%. This season not only marks the lowest rating in the entire series but also a stark departure from the high praise received in the previous six seasons.

The chief critic from "Inverse" shared this observation: It is becoming increasingly evident that this once brilliant science fiction animated series seems to have lost its innovative spark. We might be going through a long and painful journey that doesn't appear to have an end in sight, despite still offering some moments of enjoyment.

The chief critic from "Rolling Stone" stated: Regardless of the voice actors' performance, the essence of the Rick and Morty characters still remains intact, even though the comedy elements at the start of the new season may not be as strong as in previous seasons.

The chief critic from "indieWire" pointed out: The direction of the seventh season takes a different approach. While Rick and Morty return to the forefront, their character development is rather limited. Simultaneously, the characters of Beth's family are marginalized once again, while Jerry gets more screen time.

The IGN Movies critic believes: The first two episodes of "Rick and Morty" Season 7 successfully blend sharp humor, emotional depth, and bizarre animation – a testament to what has made "Rick and Morty" great.
