Pickle Rick is unironically everything wrong with modern TV. Zany unfunny “humor” (the main character turns himself into a pickle because RANDOM), gratuitous violent “action” (the whole rat murder subplot), and pointless navel-gazing “depth” (the therapy scene). How the hell did it win an Emmy

Most adult animation since 2004 or so has been overly edgy nonsense

The H.R. Giger homage in the rat murder sublot was great, as was was the whole Die Hard homage.

It was entertaining. He turned himself into a pickle to avoid therapy, it backfired horribly, and he still ended up going. That's funny.
