Solar Opposites

[on:]

The co-creator of Rick and Morty has a new animated show on Hulu titled Solar Opposites, co-created with Mike McMahan. The entire first season was released on the 8th May.

Has anyone had a chance to watch? I finished it in one sitting. Really gorgeous animation like in R&M, but the overall tone feels less pretentious. I found all the characters to be quickly likeable and the voice acting is solid (Korvo sounds almost identical to Rick, but nonetheless).

Also, damn:

Episode 7. Who knew the death of a mouse you only know for less than 20 minutes could be so heartbreaking. The whole Wall subplot was really clever and I'm intrigued to see where it goes in coming seasons.

I feel like this was a really solid first season that has enough going for it to warrant more than than just a cheap "the other show by the Rick and Morty guy" label.

Took me a bit to know which Co-creator you were referring to.  He is the less pretentious one--I think you can kind of get a feel for each of those and whose influence is stronger in any given scene of R&M -> the more serious, sometimes depressing, a bit pretentious stuff is the other guy.

The guy you're talking about though is a bit more random...but he has other work he released on the web before he struck...  If you wanted to seek it out (some of it is....nsfw for sure, including what very very clearly became R&M) for yourself, like Doc & Marty (hub, that kind of sounds...), or that bizarre one about the house full of Bill Cosby's...
