Inside Job

It's not a masterpiece, but i would definitely recommend it, it's decently original, the animation is pretty nice, has some interesting characters and it had a promising storyline going on, it's pretty good and definitely one of the best adult cartoons out there ( given the competition it isn't very hard to be one of the best, but it still deserves some recognition for being what it is ).

But i think it's one of those shows that lands for some people and doesn't land for others, although i enjoyed my watch and felt pretty entertained throughout it all it was very dependent on the fact that my sense of humor aligned with the show's sense of humor.

An overall 7.5 but i rounded to 8.

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.

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.

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.

A lot attention to detail, very creative and daring with the conspiracies theories. A lot of the critics pointing out similarities with Rick and Morty, but I don't necessarily view that as a bad thing. If anything, that would make it more appealing to whomever likes this kind of cartoon.

All in all, I love the one-liners and the humour of this show. Being more or less aware of most of the conspiracies that are made fun of, it's great that some controversial aspects are tackled with witty jokes.

Having reviewed this after watching both Season 1 and 2, I can see it improved greatly. Can only hope future seasons will continue that trend.
