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.
