Inside Job is an American adult animated streaming television series created by Shion Takeuchi for Netflix.[3] Alex Hirsch, creator of Gravity Falls, serves as the executive producer along with Takeuchi, who also served as showrunner.[4][5]

The series premiered on October 22, 2021 on Netflix.[6][2]

Premise

In this workplace comedy set in a shadow government organization Cognito, Inc. in the US, every conspiracy theory is real, with one woman trying to keep their activities out of prying eyes.[4][5] The series also follows a tech genius and her partner who try to uncover secrets about the world which are "hidden in the shadows", while she works in a place filled with reptilian shapeshifters and psychic mushrooms.[7][3][8]

Cast

Main

  • Lizzy Caplan[9] as Reagan Ridley; a socially awkward tech genius who works at Cognito Inc. and believes that society itself can be improved, managing her irresponsible coworkers while seeking out a coveted promotion along the way. Takeuchi described Reagan as a leader who "wants to make the world a better place."[10]
  • Christian Slater[9] as Rand Ridley; Reagan's father, the unnaturally paranoid former CEO and Co-founder of Cognito who was fired after nearly exposing the Deep State, and plots revenge while remaining unemployed. He lives with his daughter, and engages in flame wars with Richard Dawkins. He is reinstated as Cognito CEO by the Shadow Board at the end of season 1 as he holds the most shares in the company.
  • Clark Duke[9] as Brett Hand; a yes-man from Washington, D.C. who has a front as a fratboy but is actually a sensitive and caring person who wants his peers to follow in his footsteps, and strives to bring out the best in his friends and colleagues.
  • Tisha Campbell[9] as Gigi Thompson; a public relations officer, she is the fast-talking Head of Media Manipulation and Subliminal Messages at Cognito and is the queen of office gossip.
  • Andy Daly[9] as J.R. Scheimpough; the current CEO of Cognito, a cunning conversationalist who can talk his way out of potentially compromising predicaments.
  • Chris Diamantopoulos as ROBOTUS, the robot replacement of the President of the United States. He evolves into the ultimate AI with the goal of destroying humanity, before being locked up by Reagan, who renames him Alpha-Beta.
  • John DiMaggio[9] as Glenn Dolphman; a human-dolphin hybrid supersoldier who oversees Cognito's weapons and arsenal.
  • Bobby Lee[9] as Dr. Andre; a free-spirited biochemist who experiments with a range of unusual narcotics.
  • Brett Gelman[9] as Magic Myc; a psychic mushroom-like organism from a hive mind deep inside Hollow Earth with a dry, sarcastic demeanor and the ability to read peoples' minds. The show's opening sequence reveals that he is an alien whose species is responsible for giving humanity intelligence by offering their spores to ancient apes for consumption. Myc also provides pure bio sorbitrate, a chemical the company uses for their memory eraser guns, which they have to literally milk him for.

J.R. gives the team the mission of traveling to the town "Still Valley", Wyoming which is stuck in the 1980s, where they sell dangerous recalled products from that era. The team's job is to dose the town with Nostalgia Max, a memory-altering chemical causing the town's populous to literally be stuck in the past. Brett convinces the gang to travel without their electronics, an idea Reagan agrees with as technology could blow their cover. While flying over the town, Myc is sucked out of the plane, forcing the team to search the town for him without their gadgets. Myc who hit his head that he had memory lost is picked up by 4 kids, while the rest of the team, at Brett's behest, take up fake identities to blend in. Reagan, who was never exposed to 80s media or products, dismisses Brett's nostalgia. Brett, wanting him and the team to stay in the 1980s, accidentally exposes himself to Nostalgia Max and becomes violent and super-powered. Reagan watches 1980s films at a Blockbuster, discovering that the family simulation Brett was using wasn't his family but one from a sitcom, as his own family neglected him in his youth. She battles Brett and is able to convince him that he doesn't need a TV family as they are his "business family forever."

Bear-O reveals that in monitoring Reagan, he saw that her work was damaging her emotional state, and stole the file to destroy Cognito in a bid to make her happy. The team attacks him, accidentally destroying the file. Bear-O then decides to target the people who are hurting Reagan, starting with her friends. Reagan finds that a password is required to override Bear-O. Unable to remember it, she runs with Rand and Brett, while the others flee from Bear-O. Reagan goes into her mind with Rand to find the password. They go through Reagan's memories trying to locate the password. While searching, Reagan discovers glitches in her memories involving a male kid she met during her childhood. The rest of the team stumbles into Reagan's lab and finds a tribute she made to the team, and they leave to save Reagan after a stirring message from NSYNC. Brett, who ends up going into Reagan's mind, brings a younger Reagan to a high school dance where Brett discovers the password. Bear-O changes his target to Rand, and Reagan learns that her dad erased memories of her childhood friend Orrin so he wouldn't hold her back academically, as part of an insurance plot to get back into Cognito. The team finds Alpha-Beta and convince him to fight Bear-O. The two bots clash, stalling Bear-O long enough for Brett to tell Reagan the password: Orrin. She deactivates Bear-O and confronts Rand for tampering with her mind, kicking him out of both her home and Cognito. The following day she is contacted by the Shadow Board, who inform her that due to the chaos that happened under her watch, she will not be serving as head of Cognito. Since J.R. is being sent to Shadow Prison X for various crimes against the Shadow Board, leadership is going to the majority shareholder, Rand.

Production and release

In April 2019, Netflix ordered 20 episodes of the series.[3][16]

Billed as the first adult animated series produced in-house by Netflix Animation,[17][3] it was announced in June 2021 that the regular characters in the series would be voiced by Andrew Daly, Bobby Lee, John DiMaggio, Tisha Campbell and Brett Gelman.[9] It is the first series produced as part of a deal Takeuchi made in 2018 with Netflix to "develop new series and other projects exclusively for Netflix."[18][19][8] A sneak peak of the series was shown at the Studio Focus Panel for Netflix at the Annecy International Animation Festival in June 2021.[9][5][20] The series is the first series created by Shion Takeuchi, part of her deal with Netflix,[17] with Hirsch saying he was inspired by 1990s shows like The X-Files.[7] Hirsch and Takeuchi were also inspired by pages of Weekly World News.[16]

On September 20, 2021, a teaser trailer for the series was released, and described as mixing "reality with fantasy by tapping on our sad collective memories as unpaid interns."[21] The show's official trailer was released on September 25.[22] In an interview with Petrana Radulovic of Polygon, Takeuchi said the idea for the show came from her days in college, said there isn't "anything too weird for the show" as long as it develops the characters, saying that there are subject matters which are a "little too adult for all-ages" that people her age deal with, saying it "feels good to be able to talk about" them in the show. She said that doing an adult animation is intimidating.[10]

The series premiered on Netflix on October 22, 2021.[23][24]

Reception

The show was generally positively received. Charles Bramesco of The Guardian described the series as hewing close to "the surrealism-of-the-week format"[25] while Nick Schager of The Daily Beast described it as a workplace comedy which "jovially mocks our brain-fried reality" with numerous "sharp jabs at corporate power/gender dynamics" while highlighting absurdity of conspiracy theories and argued that the show shared some similarities with Futurama.[26] Daniel Feinberg of The Hollywood Reporter was more critical, saying that conspiracy theories are played for laughs for "fitful results" and claimed that the show reduced Reagan's problems to issues with her father, but praised Brett for having a "believable" character arc and having a "lot of energy."[27] Similar to Feinberg, Kevin Johnson of The A.V. Club criticized the show for limiting on how far things are taken, influenced by shows like American Dad!, The Venture Bros., Archer, and Akira, but praised the premises and jokes in the series funny, and the "talented creative team."[11] Chris Vognar of Datebook was more positive, saying that the series is "smart and fast on its feet," and noted it remains in the real world with "office politics, sexism, classism, jingoism, nostalgia" and more, while getting viewers to care about Reagan.[28] Burkely Hermann of The Geekiary took a different view, pointing out that "weirdness and mature subject matters" are central to the show, comparing the show to series like Mr. Robot, Futurama, Disenchantment, and described Reagan, as a character with social anxiety, as not unique, pointing to characters in Cleopatra in Space, The Owl House, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, and Steven Universe, along with noting it doesn't "fall into the usual animated sitcom model" and pointing to "queer vibes" in the series.[29] Aaron Pruner of Inverse noted similar themes, saying that the series is, at its core, a story about dysfunctional families at work and at home.[13] Tracy Brown of LA Times said the series allows "audiences to laugh at conspiracy theories again' even as they provide a "backdrop to explore the characters and how they navigate the world."[30]
