WILHELM REVIEW - Rick and Morty: The Complete Seasons 1-7 (Available Now)

As a latecomer to Rick and Morty, I wasn't sure what to expect when I finally decided to dive into this wildly popular Adult Swim series. Having recently had the chance to meet and work with several talented members of the voice cast—including Harry Belden, Ian Cardoni, Chris Parnell, and Spencer Grammer—I knew it was time to explore this phenomenon. And let me tell you, this two-time Emmy Award-winning series did not disappoint. Rick and Morty is every bit as sharp, hilarious, and unpredictable as its reputation suggests.

Packaging and Presentation

Now, with Rick and Morty: The Complete Seasons 1 - 7 on DVD, I can continue my journey through the chaotic world of Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith. The set is beautifully packaged with a sleek slip sleeve that gives it a premium feel for collectors. Inside, you’ll find all 71 episodes from the first seven seasons. Although it’s not in HD like a BluRay release, the DVD format delivers crisp visuals and excellent audio, ensuring the vibrant animation and rapid-fire humor remain intact. The show still looks and sounds fantastic, and it’s easy to see why Rick and Morty has become a top streaming series for Max both domestically and globally.

A Bounty of Special Features

One of the biggest draws of this set is the extensive list of special features. For fans who love behind-the-scenes content, you’re in for a treat. The DVD set includes commentaries, deleted scenes, deleted animatic sketches, and featurettes like Inside the Episodes, The Characters of Season 7, and Inside Season 7. These extras offer a fascinating look at the creative process behind the show and give you deeper insight into the twisted genius that makes Rick and Morty so beloved. With hours of additional content beyond the episodes themselves, this set is a treasure trove for fans looking to dive even further into the show’s offbeat universe.

A Must-Have for Fans

Having all 71 episodes on hand, along with the treasure of special features, makes this set an essential addition to any fan’s collection. Whether you’ve been with Rick and Morty since its early days on Adult Swim, or, like me, are just now discovering the madness, Rick and Morty: The Complete Seasons 1 - 7 on DVD is a must-have for anyone who loves animated comedy, sci-fi, or just wildly inventive storytelling.
