Rick is a crazy cynical scientist. He is Morty's grandpa, he takes Morty along for his science adventures. Morty is a fretful kid, who is always anxious and nervous even about the slightest of things. The fun is generated through our awareness of these characters, and after that whenever Morty is anxious, or whenever he says 'aww... Man', it's low key funny. And when the situation is too big, even before we see Monty react, we'd start laughing. And of course, Rick is the one saying the most absurd, unpredictable, dark things. It's seems like such a simple premise, but the level of complexity they explore in some episodes just expands the scope of the show.
The premise caters to our inner child and rightfully so, because it justifies the form of animation. It caters to the inner child because as you're a kid or a grumpy old man, you don't crave for dopamine hits as much, and you aren't on the pursuit behind anything. You mostly get happy through the simplicities of life. We are more in the state of zen in these times, which is represented through Rick. Morty's fretful nature comes out from a sense of naivety, so it's not anxiety inducing as we watch. I enjoyed the first few episodes the most, the later episodes started becoming in the same territory one after the other - which probably explains why I'm more into movies than shows. I get bored pretty fast. But, I loved getting introducing to the world of this show.
