Inside job11/15/2023 It's gets more than a little irritating as they re-iterate the same core messages but they are, like I said, very Marxian does make the medicine go down smooth. The concept quickly gets old but the individual stories with that R&M sense of absurd adventure hold their own even if the subtext is always "rulers are savages but the ruled are worse". In terms of jokes, this show coasts a lot on "deep state is powerful conspiracy theories are true you can laugh now" humor a lot. She's an ultra-Hobbesian with firmly Marxian biases and her anti-democratic leanings notwithstanding, it's hard not to develop something of a crush on her. A woman of great intellect but emotionally starved trying to influence the world any way she can and actually has more power than any human really should. Regan (I don't remember her last name) is a pretty swell character arguably one her deserves a much better show. It's not really about the deep state, it's about an individual on her own journey. However, R&M was just as much an adventure series than an examination of family and this show here also has a heavy family theme as well. I went in with an open mind and I feel no remorse saying that this is basically just Rick and Morty except translated into a workplace sitcom rather than a family-based sitcom. It was inevitable that they would do a show with this premise eventually. It might not be your favorite show, but it wont be nearly as bad as *cough cough* Velma. I remember just pausing the show and being like "damn." If your looking for a show to watch, watch this. The plot also gets very good towards the end of season one. Its not the funniest show, but some lines have made me laugh. Its almost like a mix of R and M and gravity falls, but with its own aspects. Reagans dad kind of resembles Rick, but other than i find the show very orignal. Theres sci-fi, lots of lore, myhtical creatures, and some space travel. If you like R and M, then you would defiently like this. Another problem is that it's a copy cat of Rick and Morty. harsh, but that doesn't mean their bad characters. Reagan (the main character) goes through a lot of character development, and it's fun to watch her grow. The biggest problem is that none of the characters are likable, which isn't true. In the final analysis, Inside Job is a slick but soulless example of what is most commonly wrong with most corporate TV shows today, where the focus is too much on fabricating a bright and sassy product that can be reliably marketed, rather than telling a story anybody felt compelled to tell.Ī lot of the reviews on here are really harsh the show isn't that bad. If I was to try isolate what is chiefly wrong with it so that it could be fixed in the future, I guess I would sack most of the staff writer hordes, leaving only two or three of them to focus on building unique and relatable characters they personally find amazing and care about, and then start building up the individual episode scripts from there, rather than having the Family Guy manatees generate meaningless plots and situations from random pop culture references. The script is one-liner after one-liner after one-liner and yet I didn't laugh once. None of the characters are even slightly likeable or relatable and the tone is too relentlessly busy, with no building of necessary tension or intrigue from one scene to the next. This new sci-fi cartoon's premise has a lot of promise, with endless clever ideas and attention to detail, but it feels coldly generic and too much designed by committee: the basic idea is Men In Black all over again, and the alcoholic dad is an obvious attempt to appropriate some of that Rick Sanchez vibe.
