Summary
The family program their sleeping selves to do all of the things they don’t want to do.
I think this was probably the best episode so far of the new season. I liked the premise and thought that it mixed in a nice amount of horror into the usual science fiction formula, Night Summer, played by Spencer Grammar, was especially creepy.
I also enjoyed the bond between Jerry and Night Jerry, both voiced by Chris Parnell, I thought that the relationship between the two was nice to see and moreover, it is just nice to see someone treat Jerry like an actual human being for once.
The downside of this episode for me was that it all just boiled down to one big car chase which whilst entertaining feels like the most mediocre way to end things. What’s more the whole thing ends up feeling redundant as in the end the Night family win anyway, which further adds to the powering down of Rick, voiced by Justin Roiland, this season.
Overall, a fun episode but not the best the show has ever done.
Pros.
The horror elements
The friendship between Jerry and Night Jerry
It is a good premise
A number of funny moments
Cons.
The ending feels a bit lackluster
Rick is far too easily beaten
