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 watched Inside Job because it was endorsed and produced by Alex Hirsch, the creator of Gravity Falls. GF is one of my favorite shows of all time, and this show definitely carried over some of that show's energy.

I think this show is being judged too harshly, but it definitely has flaws. I would like to talk about the positive aspects.

Of course, the best character in the show is Raegan. She's a very complex, interesting, and likeable character who changes and evolves. If the show didn't have Raegan, it wouldn't be great.

The show gets better as it goes along, to the point of being very emotional and powerful by the end of the second season.

Give it a chance!

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.

It's refreshing to see adult animation that's not just another clone of Family Guy or the Simpsons. Plus there's an a actual plot, story arcs, character development, personalities, and other story elements that most other modern adult animations skip over these days. That makes this one of my favorite shows and I enjoy how refreshing it is. While not every joke lands, every episode makes me laugh which is rare because so many other series feel like clones or unoriginal remakes. I really hope we get more original content like this because it actually grabs my attention instead of being background noise like everything else.

When I started this show, I worried that it might be another one of those forgettable Netflix cartoons that had less effort than budget, which is pretty commonly low with Netflix animated series. But as the show went on, it became clear that this wasn't a Hoops or a Big Mouth. It was something special.

I initially only started watching the show because I heard Alex Hirsch, creator of Gravity Falls, would be affiliated with it. And while Inside Job is no Gravity Falls, it stands on its own as a clever and witty adult animated comedy.

I like the two main characters, Reagan and Brett. At first I expected their relationship to be the trope of the super serious and hard worker constantly being annoyed by their giddy sidekick, but their dynamic is actually more fleshed out than that. While their personalities clashed at first, they eventually grow on each other and despite their different outlooks on the world, they learn to appreciate each other's strengths and support them through their weaknesses.

However, even though I enjoy their relationship and personalities, I can't really say that about the rest of the characters. Reagan's fellow employees of the company Cognito Inc are constantly mean to each other, exploiting one another, and just kind of annoying. They do have their moments of endearment but are mostly just crude and one note.

Honestly the main thing I like about the show is it's concept, which is executed pretty well. The show plays on conspiracy theories from the real world, things like Bigfoot and Lizard People, and puts a spin on them. They aren't just one-to-one copies of the conspiracy, which create interesting ways for Inside Job's to build its world.

Aside from that, let's talk about the comedy. It is a comedy show after all. It's fine. Passable. Nothing that will make you fall out of your seat dying laughing, but enough to cause a humorous snort every now and then. It has some issues though. There are way too many pop culture references and they feel more like writing crutches than actual jokes. There are a lot of pun jokes which just make me roll my eyes. The humor works best when it plays off of the characters interacting, which I wish there was more jokes of instead of those other types.

But overall, a pretty funny show that has more heart and thought put into it than a lot of what's out there at the moment. And the animation actually looks pretty great, something pretty rare for adult animated TV shows. 7/10.
