QUENTIN

Despite the upheaval stemming from the controversy surrounding series co-creator Justin Roiland, which resulted in his removal as showrunner and star (replaced by Dan Stevens with a terrific explanation), Solar Opposites’ fourth season is its best yet. Brilliant meta hilarity spread amongst three parallel-but-disparate storylines (the alien family, the dystopian “The Wall,” and the The Expanse-inspired “Silvercops”) has made it the funniest, and maybe smartest, adult animated show on television. The world-building is incredibly layered too, but it’s mostly memorable one-liners like “it smells like a third-trimester hamster abortion” and “you’re a pile of shit’s ugly sister” that kept me coming back for more.
