Inside Job

I don't usually watch these types of shows, but this one was quite good. The biggest appeal of the show is its humor, of course, which was easily what kept me watching. The entire concept of the show, of all conspiracy theories being true, naturally leads to some ridiculous situations. And of course, the inclusion of media personalities is hilarious. While all of the characters are very funny, most of them are not very interesting or in-depth. The exception, Reagan, is easily the best character in the show and was a joy to watch. While this show is by no means a masterpiece, it was a very fun watch, and one of my new favorite Netflix originals.

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.

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.

Worth a watch, just hope they don't cancel this like they did Hoops. Netflix is a little light on the adult animation, and this is a step in the right direction.

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.
