Rick & Morty is a series available on both HBO and Netflix, at least in Spain. In fact, during the premiere of the new episodes, we found them earlier on the HBO service than on Netflix, but after a few months, we can see the series in full on both services. If we already recommend the HBO series most similar to Rick & Morty, now it’s time to do the same with Netflix.
While it is true that Rick & Morty is a most peculiar and particular work, there are some series, especially animation, that come close to it or that at least offer a most valid and fun alternative. Next, we bring you a list of 4 Netflix series similar to Rick & Morty.
South Park
The first and most obvious option. Although in Spain we can only find South Park almost completely on Amazon Prime Video with 22 of its 23 seasons, on Netflix Spain, we can find its first full season, some skipped episodes (of the best of the series) between season 2 and the 19 and then the seasons 20 to 22 in full again. Yes, it is a puzzle, but you will find in this series the primal seed of many irreverent animation products that have come out over the years.
- Year: 1997.
- Seasons: 23.
- Episodes: 308.
- Approximate duration: 22 minutes.
Family Guy
The Seth MacFarlane series was born as an adult alternative to some Simpsons that were increasingly losing their essence to the point that we could say that Groening’s work ended up borrowing certain ideas or narrative mechanics from Family Guy. With gross, unpleasant, and sometimes simple humor, Family Guy is an entertaining product for those looking for an adult animated series.
- Year: 1999.
- Seasons: 19 (from 12 to 18 on Netflix Spain).
- Episodes: 356.
- Approximate duration: 22 minutes.
Big Mouth
Big Mouth is a rather unpleasant series both in terms of the style of its drawings and the themes it deals with. This Netflix original series is defined as politically incorrect and tells the stories of Nick Kroll and Andrew Goldberg, teenagers who discover the wonders and horrors of puberty.
- Year: 2017.
- Seasons: 4.
- Episodes: 41.
- Approximate duration: 27 minutes.
Hoops
This new Netflix series came to us in 2020 and told us how a basketball coach wants to take the team to the top. The problem is that the players are bad. Hoops is defined as an irreverent, racy and eccentric series, fulfilling many of the stereotypes of adult animation series. We do not know if they will renew it, but surely you have a good laugh with a rather curious first season.
- Year: 2020.
- Seasons: 1.
- Episodes: 10.
- Approximate duration: 25 minutes.
