    To be absolutely blunt, this show is a travesty. Its like leaning over a bridge and gazing down at the stream below you, but instead of cool, clear, and clean water- its just floating piles of trash. The writing is below sub-par, the jokes are terrible or outright so dated you'll wonder why they were even included, and the actual characters are so woefully designed, that I thought I wasTo be absolutely blunt, this show is a travesty.

The writing is below sub-par, the jokes are terrible or outright so dated you'll wonder why they were even included, and the actual characters are so woefully designed, that I thought I was watching one of those half-baked ironically bad knock-off "Rick & Morty" cartoons that have attached themselves to pop-culture like some sort of parasite.

    I guess, thanks for trying? Better luck next time? It will be a freezing, blizzardy, and probably very cold day in heck if this ever gets a second season. I would be absolutely shocked if it doesn't end up like the rest of the "nowhere" series of shows on Netflix like "Disenchantment," a show so uneven, so unfunny, that's it hard to believe Matt Groening's is even working on it. The writer of "Inside Job" is a funny man, who mostly made extremely bizarre, innapropriate (but very funny) kids shows for a long time. You might remember "Flap Jack," or "Chowder" and honestly those must have been him at his "A" game, because "Inside Job" is more like a hack-job in overall presentation and quality. Its actually mystifiying how something this awful could get greenlit, but then again.. this is Netflix we're talking about.    … Expand

    Because Inside Job immediately establishes its characters, its brand of humor goes way beyond just seeing lizard people struggle with the Keurig machine in the break room. And that’s what will make the series last a few seasons.

    The result is that, outlandish conceit aside, there’s nothing particularly novel about Inside Job, and that goes for its protagonists as well. ... That’s all well and good, although the proceedings are best when eliciting laughs from scenarios rooted in Reagan and Brett’s hang-ups about friendship, parents, acceptance, ambition and the frequently thorny relationship between the present and the past. Moreover, it’s generally funniest when it’s at its most random.

    Brett is the only character in the ensemble who really has a fully believable arc and Reagan the only character whose lack of immediate likability is an asset and not a flaw. I found occasional things to laugh at and found affection for some of the storylines late in the season. I never fully signed on and never fully stopped wincing at “Deep State” references, but there are elements to be amused by if you don’t have the same visceral reaction to the pilot.
