Inside Job (2021)

Inside Job drops you into Cognito, Inc., the absurdly bureaucratic heart of the Deep State where conspiracies aren't speculative — they're product lines. Part workplace comedy, part surreal conspiracy fantasia, the show follows anti-social tech genius Reagan Ridley as she tries to bring competence and decency to a job whose mission is to keep the world comfortably lied to. Watching the series, you’ll experience a rapid-fire mix of dark satire and off‑the‑wall visuals: sharp one-liners and pop‑culture riffs land alongside elaborate set pieces featuring reptilian shapeshifters, psychic fungi, secret societies and other impossible office hazards. Episodes balance episodic, laugh‑heavy scenarios (coverups, masked orgy etiquette, covert ops gone wrong) with longer character arcs — most notably Reagan’s struggle to win a promotion, manage her unpredictable, manifesto-writing father, and reconcile her idealism with a team that delights in chaos. Tone-wise it’s equal parts workplace sitcom and pointed social commentary. The animation lets the writers push ideas and gags to surreal extremes while still giving emotional payoff: beneath the cynicism there’s real pathos in Reagan’s attempts to do good in a system built on deception. Expect adult humor, frequent absurdity, fast pacing and moments of genuine character development. If you like smart, strange comedies that lampoon bureaucracy, tech culture and modern paranoia — and don’t mind crude jokes and occasionally dark themes — Inside Job is a bingeable, offbeat ride that’s as funny as it is weirdly heartfelt.
