In The Know is a quirky, funny series that works on a few different levels, and it effectively combines animation and live action.
-
There ought to be a second season of "In the Know," even if the jokes are a bit inside-baseball and the self-worship of Lauren requires tolerance even at his most pathetically funny.
-
Despite rocky beginnings and a live-action gimmick that doesn’t feel fully justified, In the Know brims with promise.
-
The results are naughtier than your typical Terry Gross interview, though not by that much. The pacing remains relaxed and the tone relatively chill, even as Lauren freaks out about his “passive sperm” or suffers Veep-worthy insults like “This guy looks like the stork who brings miscarriages.” Across much of the season’s six half-hours, this muted quality is both a bug and a feature.
