Inside job

Finished 1:7

Fairly fun comedy series. Won't blow you away, but it has enough heart for its characters to carry it through the weaker episodes. Too bad about the cancellation.

Yo wtf is with this cancellation? It's odd, it's cringe, it's bad and it's good at the same time, but it sure is enjoyable to watch. Super fast paced meme compilation posing as a TV series, a window onto its era's culture, which ended far too early.

It's mostly okay. Could have been pretty good but often misses the mark. What makes it worse are the often lame attempts to mock real world, mostly right-wing personalities. I'm the target audience here; I already dislike most of those people and would love to laugh at them... but most of the time it's poor jokes thrown in an attempt to make the show more topical.

Occasionally quite bad, but also with a few very good moments, and mostly wobbling in between. It's too bad it's on Netflix, because this is the kind of show that could get really good by season three.

The fact that all the protagonists work for an evil deep-state means that the show can never get too sincere about their motivations, which often makes it hard to get invested in anything. There were parts I liked though. The show does with Rand what I always wished Rick and Morty had done with Rick.

What a fucking mess.

You can just imagine the pitch meeting for this series "What if we took the dynamic of Beth and Rick Sanchez but switched it to focus on the former, used the writing style and character spread of Futurama, throw in a constant stream of Family Guy-esque pop culture references and set it in an MIB type organisation". If that doesn't make you want to set your eyeballs on fire then Inside Job might work for you. The humour is pretty hit and miss but overall it's decent adult animation entertainment

Oddly watchable but insufferable at the same time. It's paced well and the conspiracy motif is zany enough to not be completely boring. But a lot of the jokes make a mockery of social anxiety in a way that just come across like those "wow, RELATABLE!" comics you see everywhere on the internet as if that's the only way someone can be unlikable or uncharismatic. The political references and cultural gags sometimes warrant a chuckle, but they're usually superficial.
