Hulu's Solar Opposites blends Rick & Morty chaos with Resident Alien setup
ScreenRant argues that Hulu's animated sci-fi comedy Solar Opposites has become a must-watch successor to Rick & Morty.
Per the outlet, the show follows a family of aliens who crash-land in suburban America. Their leader, Korvo, wants to fix their ship and leave, while the rest of the family is more interested in experiencing Earth's culture.
The series is described as mixing the procedural sci-fi format of Rick & Morty with a premise reminiscent of Resident Alien, but without that show's redeeming moral goals. The aliens in Solar Opposites are reportedly just here for a chaotic good time.
A major example of the show's unique tone is a subplot called The Wall. It involves shrunken humans building a society inside a terrarium, which unexpectedly evolves into a serious dramatic storyline modeled on shows like The Expanse.
ScreenRant notes that this bizarre experimentation, alongside the show's R-rated comedy, makes the series unpredictable and deserving of a return. The article calls for Solar Opposites to be renewed for a seventh season.
