Original writer/creator/actor leaves the show. There can be a lot of reasons why they leave, and sometimes it's a really good reason, but the show almost always suffers.

I think Rick and Morty shined in S7 without Justin Roiland

It is the lowest-rated season to date on IMDb, so you might just be an outlier.

IMDb got review bombed. The actual genuine reaction from fans has been positive.

That sounds like cope. I remember the first couple of episodes of the season getting criticized heavily on Reddit, for reasons that had nothing to do with the 'changing of the guard', after I also found myself bored watching same.

Maybe it improved after that, but I wouldn't know, I moved on.

It literally isn’t cope. Fans literally thought the S7 finale was the best in the show so far lol. E4 onwards is fantastic.

Working through s6 right now. I’m excited then.

I’m guessing Dan Harmon stayed on?

Yes, the first two episodes of S7 you can hear the differences in voice, but, after that they really improve and Rick’s voice actor puts in so much more emotion.

I’m deaf so watch with subtitles, guess it means basically nothing changes for me ahah!
