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.

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!

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.

Not gonna lie, on my first glance it did heavily reminded me of men in black (both classic movies and cartoon), including men in black international. Honorable mentions including X files, space dandy, futurama and rick & morty. Sometimes the soundtracks reminded me of something from mcu movies lol. Clean animation, great transition although i felt the flow of the animation was a bit fast but manageable. Bright tone setup for amazing action packed sitcom. The voice castings were great and characters design were just okay for me when compared with other amazing cartoons. Many movies and series referrences (terminator, E. T., he man, tmnt, stranget things, netflix series, etc) and cameos like celebrities & characters from other cartoons and movies.. Great groovy intro track and random upbeat outros. Highly recommended.

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.
