    Nope, made by a great guy named Mike McMahan. He was a writer on Rick and Morty before co-creating a show with Justin Roiland. Then he got this gig. He’s a huge Star Trek fan and exceptionally funny himself. The show is really well done without compromising on typical Star Trek ideals and morals. Also includes more easter eggs than you can shake a bat’leth at. It’s an awesome ride.

      And the other show he co-created is Solar Opposites, which felt like a Rick and Morty wannabe to me at first, but has actually surpassed it in quality.

        Solar Opposites was co-created with the Rick and Morty co-creator so probably makes sense. Also, that Rick and Morty dude (Justin Roiland) left after Season 3.

          And nothing of value was lost. It’s pretty clear that Roiland mostly provided the nihilism and gross-out stuff rather than the sci-fi concepts.

            I like Justins delivery and he had some funny ideas but Dan Harmon is the guy on Rick and Morty who refined them more. I’m actually really excited for the new season because Dan has more control and has brought over more writers from Community. I should probably check out Solar Opposites.
