The series was originally due for a second season renewal, but the show's cancellation was announced on January 2023. It premiered on Octowith a release of 10 episodes (named 'Part 1'), followed by a second release on Novem(named 'Part 2'). The best episodes of Inside Job - a trip to the reptilian world, an episode about breaking up with a James Bond-type - have the conspiracies play second fiddle to Reagan's self-growth and her relationship to her co-workers, as they all have their own goals and huge flaws that are used for laughs. Inside Job is an American adult science fiction animated sitcom produced by Netflix and created by Shion Takeuchi. In a way, Inside Job is the American Dad to Rick and Morty's Family Guy, more about the characters being put in crazy situations than the situations themselves. With both shows, part of the initial appeal is seeing a world of mystery, full of cryptids and conspiracy theories come to life, but what makes them worth watching is their focus on characters. That show's creator, Alex Hirsch, returns as an executive producer and writer for a few episodes. Takeuchi is not the only Gravity Falls writer working on Inside Job. There are small references to previous episodes, and we see some of the characters grow and change throughout the season, but other than the two-part finale, this is a rare Netflix show you don't have to binge in one sitting. Each episode feels completely self-contained, while still advancing character development and world-building from episode to episode. Gravity Falls writer Shion Takeuchi makes her debut as a showrunner with a series that, much like the fan-favorite Disney cartoon, walks the balance between episodic and serialized TV in ways few others do nowadays. And there's also a sentient mushroom and a dolphin-human hybrid on the team - you know, the usual workplace. When her bosses decide she lacks people skills, they assign her a co-leader in Brett Hand (Clark Duke), a human golden retriever who doesn't have a clue, but loves just being a part of the team. Reagan Ridley (Lizzy Caplan) is a genius and the daughter of the company's co-founder Rand (Christian Slater), who has always wanted to lead the company towards a better future. The show takes place inside Cognito, Inc., the company that secretly runs the world for the mysterious Shadow Board, and is responsible for every conspiracy theory out there. Sadly, the show doesn't fully know how to approach the ways people really believe conspiracy theories, and over-relies on referencing pop culture, which can distract from the character comedy. Inside Job combines conspiracy theories with a workplace comedy to create a funny story about finding yourself in over your head while leading a team, set in an intriguing world full of exotic creatures and secret cults.
