Inside Job

It was one of the better shows out there. While being an absurdist comedy it also managed to pull off interesting nuanced characters with reasonable and satisfactory character arcs. One may say it had a few rough edges in the beginning, but it was shaping up better and better as it went on.

Idk what's Netflix execs are on to cancel it. They are dumping an infinite amount of generic garbage nobody will ever remember, but the one of a few actually creative things they decide to cancel.

Anyway, hats off before Shion Takeuchi and the team for creating it. Looking forward for their future projects.

I'll admit, I did watch R&M as the seasons aired but I wouldn't associate myself with that show. This on the other hand, holy crap.

I mean holy crap.

Season 1 Part 1 walked so Part 2 could run. In as small a time frame as a dozen episodes you get more character development than all of R&M. I feel baffled that I didn't pick this up sooner, it feels unreal.

The voice actors killed it. Lizzy Caplan as Reagan and Adam Scott as Ron, the supporting cast as well, they killed it. I have a ton of respect for them.

The animation is there when it needs to be. It's not really an action show, but fight scenes and such are clearly choreographed and detailed. I like it, and the characters are all distinct and likeable.

Now the real stuff. The characters and their story are seriously amazing. Rick and Morty and Inside Job share a common theme: They explore relationships and conflicts through the lens of fiction. Reagan has to deal with so much stuff that it's insane. And it isn't relatable for the sake of being relatable, Reagan is her own character and isn't a self insert. Her dad being a sociopathic tryhard of a genius who doesn't care to love his own daughter, her workplace being a constant crapstorm that heats up every minute, it's unreal how much crap she has to sort through. But it never gets stale, you always feel like the characters change in some way.

Shoutout to Shion Takeuchi who is really the main person responsible for this amazing show, she really deserves more credit.

At first glance "Inside Job" can be passed as another "Rick and Morty" wannabe, but it was surprisingly funny. The animation is good with tons of hidden details throughout and while some characters are very one dimensional others are very interesting and fun to watch. It's a little rough around the edges, but "Inside Job" is an overall enjoyable show.

Have in mind this review is from only few episodes so far

In all honesty I was really skeptical about this show, because the animation looked way too similar to already quite failed shows such as "the prince", or.... uh.. the other one i already erased from my memory (thank god). Thankfully it's only the looks it shares. Rest is so much different in the best meaning of the word.

Either way: this show is quick, quippy and quite smart. It's the closest to Rick and Morty vibe yet, so that's an enormous plus for me. Animation is also good. What else can i say.. Oh! Show's quite feisty. It's not afraid to show you some weird sh that could be considered inappropriate.

Should you watch it? If you like R'n'M, then definitely. If you are just bored and don't mind watching cartoon with adult humor (and language), then sure! Go ahead!

It's just fun!

A lot of the reviews on here are really harsh; the show isn't that bad. The biggest problem is that none of the characters are likable, which isn't true. Reagan (the main character) goes through a lot of character development, and it's fun to watch her grow. A lot of the characters can be... harsh, but that doesn't mean their bad characters.

Another problem is that it's a copy cat of Rick and Morty. Is it similar? Yes. Is it copying? No. If you like R and M, then you would defiently like this. Theres sci-fi, lots of lore, myhtical creatures, and some space travel. Reagans dad kind of resembles Rick, but other than i find the show very orignal. Its almost like a mix of R and M and gravity falls, but with its own aspects.

Its not the funniest show, but some lines have made me laugh. The plot also gets very good towards the end of season one. I remember just pausing the show and being like "damn."

If your looking for a show to watch, watch this. It might not be your favorite show, but it wont be nearly as bad as *cough cough* Velma.
