3) Hot Streets

One of the things that I worried about when I reviewed the pilot episode of Hot Streets a couple of years back was that Chubbie Webbers was going to be the accidental star of the series, both in terms of servicing the series being a funny dog and the fact that Rick and Morty creator Justin Roiland voices the canine character.  And in a lot of ways, the shitty clickbait press for Hot Streets printed everywhere but here did it’s best at trying to get the same sort of fervor that Adult Swim’s #1 series (in terms of audience) got, but quite frankly, you’re average Rick and Morty fan was already sick and tired of Rick and Morty. Not so much the series, but the shitty clickbait articles that haunted the show’s 2017 run that would cause such controversies as the Szechuan sauce bit, fans attacking the show’s excellent women writers on Reddit, and a just missed controversy with Dan Harmon and an ex-Community co-worker. Fortunately for Hot Streets, the show not only was able to avoid any tangible connection between the series, other than resumes, and instead stand on its own two legs as a solid series for Adult Swim.
