Warner Bros. Home Entertainment just released the Adult Swim hit RICK AND MORTY: THE COMPLETE FIFTH SEASON on Blu-ray in a steelbook case which makes it an immediate collector’s item. All 10 episodes of the fifth season along with some very cool bonus features makes this a must own for fans of this funny animated series.
The cartoon series continues its edgy way and brings the characters back in a very humorous and original way, bringing episodes and new characters to keep it fresh and amusing.
Rick’s adventures and family relationships in this keep moving along and presenting something different, never getting stale. The relationship between Rick and Morty is continually funny.
RICK AND MORTY: THE COMPLETE FIFTH SEASON is a great season and the presentation is great. The steelbook and art is appealing and is a good addition to a collection and especially so if you are a fan of the other seasons and the show’s approach and humor. I recommend it.
