In Rick And Morty, One Episode Stands Above The Rest

"The Ricklantis Mixup" is the highest rated episode on IMDb and for good reason. At an astounding 9.8 out of 10, this episode is not only one of the funniest, but the best structured episode of the entire series.  The concept of the episode on its own is brilliant. Rick and Morty have destroyed the Citadel of Ricks, but that isn't the end of the government. There is a population of Ricks and Morty's that still live on the Citadel. Rick jokes that no one is interested in anyone living there or any stories the Citadel has to offer. The entire episode then revolves around that very concept.

Surprisingly enough, the humor isn't what sets this episode apart from the others. "The Ricklantis Mixup" pulls off a delicate balancing act. The episode interweaves three storylines about the citizens living on the Citadel of Ricks. The audience is introduced to Ricks and Mortys not shown in previous episodes, and this one captivates and makes viewers care about characters they've never previously seen.
