It had a nice two whole seasons, left off on a decent enough season finale that left the story open for a return but didn’t leave any painfully burning questions that demanded addressing, and ended before it got old and stale. I wouldn’t call that a failure at all.
It mighta been nice to see what they had planned for the next season and/or to get a proper conclusion, yeah. But with fairly episodic comedic shows like this, I honestly don’t hold out for a lot of meaningful plot development and wasn’t really expecting much out of the overarching story or character arcs. I would moreso expect them to drag it out indefinitely and run it into the ground if given the chance.
They've intentionally obscured that line for financial frickery reasons.
They ordered one "season" on the production end because when you order new seasons people on the crew get nice raises and benefits. But they call it two "seasons" when it airs because people feel like they got more show to watch.
This way everybody gets screwed! Except the execs.

Inside Job was insanely popular, though. And it's asinine to cancel a show after dumping so much money into it. Corporations keep falling for sunk cost fallacy.
Unoriginal shit, a perfect intersection of Rick and Morty and American Dad with a little Gravty Falls but without any of the charm of talent those shows have/had
Netflix knows the people who watched it won't cancel their subscription if they cancel the show. It makes Netflix no money and loses nothing if they cancel it.
Don't say that. We can still draw new Reagan fan art or commission new Reagan lewds even without new episodes. I don't know why so many people nowadays act as if a fandom has to die with the show. Regardless of Netflix pulling the rug from under Shion, her characters will always live on in our memories and future fan content.
She's comfortably ugly, pretty enough to be attractive but blemished enough to feel down to earth and accessable, relatable, funny, dominant in a very safe way, ect
She fulfills the appeal of the smelly neet gf who will jerk off next to you on the couch, while being a successful and driven person that can take charge, and while being a Liz Lemon on top of that.
People don't actually give a shit about original cartoons, that's why. Try tracking Inside Job's online presence in 2023 so far and you'll know what I mean. Netflix confirmed it was cancelled, and people moped for maybe 2-3 days before instantly pivoting to dogpiling on Velma for two weeks straight. This hate-filled bandwagon then morphed into nostalgia for Mystery Inc., Be Cool Scooby-Doo!, and the many many previous Mystery Gang iterations, with new fan art and fan redesigns being shared in retaliation.
People come swinging sooo much energy when a beloved established IP is revived, rebooted, adapted, you name it. So, instead of a resurgence in Inside Job fan art or—more importantly—streaming numbers, January 2023 saw nothing but more Scooby-Doo! fan art and cringey Velma clips that would go viral because EVERYONE wants to chime in with their exact same outrage at their Pwecious Childhood Cawtoon's "desecration." Nobody's forcing you to watch the show. Nobody's forcing you to talk about it. But of course everyone wants to join in on the latest controversial reboot and ignore the few original cartoons we actually have.
All this taught me is that Hollywood was right. All the major studios weren't lying when they said there's more money to be made in long-established IP than in risky new IP. Doesn't matter how low Velma's meaningless IMDb score is. It pulled millions of eyes to HBO Max, and that's a win for the executives.
it literally only died because netflix decided that people weren't binging it enough in the first few weeks
because netflix signs deals that allow them to make all of the revenue from the show in its first few months of release
gonna admit i contributed to the "bad reception" netflix is seeing in this show because i had a job and couldn't sit down to watch an entire show for three days straight
i loved it when i got to it. frick streaming services. they're a scourge on modern media
I hope adult swim decides to pick it up. It seems better suited for there, especially since Rick and Morty is on the chopping block within the next 2 years.
It's what everyone's hoping for, but that doesn't seem to be as easy as when Adult Swim picked up Tuca & Bertie. While that show did premiere as a Netflix exclusive, it was still outsourced to outside production companies, meaning it wasn't necessarily tied down to its distributor. Inside Job by comparison was produced specifically by NETFLIX Animation, and I don't know if Netflix would be willing to sell the streaming rights to a cartoon they would continue to produce.
Also Rick and Morty is still continuing up to at least Season 10, so Adult Swim has even less incentive to also pick up a show many already dismiss as a ripoff at first glance. Our best bet is for Netflix to change their minds and let Season 2 continue as planned, but with how quickly everyone stopped talking about the show, that isn't looking very likely.
Inside Job never stood a chance. You would think it'd be a mega hit for Netflix until you realize it never went mainstream and only ever caught the attention of people who grew up with GF, the same way JG Quintel's adult cartoon was only ever noticed by people who grew up with RS. It was never gonna do B*g M**th numbers, and that's what led to its ultimate fate.
Worse, even. They were murdered fresh off of celebrating a major accomplishment. They were silenced because they stood as a beacon of hope for the future of original TV animation.
Just the way it hugs the body, squeezes and accentuates the figure with hints of what's beneath. Leotards, bodysuits, and one piece swimsuits are my jam.
>Why did it fail?
Netflix and not a strong enough supporting cast.
Outside of Reagan and Brent, the rest of the central is really forgettable. I don't even remember the name of the doctor who's whole gimmick was being strung out 24/7.
In your defense, Inside Job is pretty sitcom-y a lot of the time. I wanna believe the lack of clear act breaks could be a reason why. Are there any half-hour streaming originals that HAVE kept your attention?
Basically the entire industry is undergoing massive shifts, layoffs, and cancelations. While I believe and hope Inside Job will make a comeback, it likely won't be for a while.
Half the cast was fricking horrible, whenever people get upset about the show ending they only post Raegan and Brett together. The rest of their organization were horribly unfunny 1 note characters.
This. Unironically the show tried too hard to stand out as a "mature" adult comedy instead of just a funny show jabbing at conspiracies. Also, the creator only knows how to do reference based humor.
Inside Job was the only adult animated show not named Big Mouth to survive the wave of cancellations last year and get renewed; then it fricking got reversed and everything's been blown to pieces.
Inside Job wasn't just cancelled. Netflix announced a second season pickup back in June 2022. Seven months later, the writers were just abruptly told their show was now cancelled.
This isn't just your regular cancellation. Netflix fricking lied to us and went back on their word. Literal snake behavior.
They had gotten a bit into S2 production as well. They had contracted background artists to do backgrounds in February who now only had a month to find other work.
It's such bullshit I'm amazed it was even possible. Underhanded tactics to kill shows for no good reason are one thing, letting production start before suddenly un-renewing it is absurd.
Kinda weird how only Shion got a production banner despite Hirsch being a co-producer, one currently developing a Netflix project of his own at that. I don't know if the reasoning is that Shion's the series creator or something, but it does get me wondering about how Hollywood credits are figured out.
Netflix
So it was destroyed internally. Or you could say, it was an inside job.
It had a nice two whole seasons, left off on a decent enough season finale that left the story open for a return but didn’t leave any painfully burning questions that demanded addressing, and ended before it got old and stale. I wouldn’t call that a failure at all.

I would moreso expect them to drag it out indefinitely and run it into the ground if given the chance.
Netflix let it end because they knew Alex Hirsch is next
It had one season split into two parts
>one season split into two parts
Fair enough. I admit I’ve never really understood what the strict definition of a television season is anyway.
They've intentionally obscured that line for financial frickery reasons.
They ordered one "season" on the production end because when you order new seasons people on the crew get nice raises and benefits. But they call it two "seasons" when it airs because people feel like they got more show to watch.
This way everybody gets screwed! Except the execs.
>Alex Hirsch
He literally did nothing on this show.
And yet he got his name in the credits, and that’s what matters.
He soft sabotaged the first season and got quietly fired.
He wrote some episodes. He also gets advertised more than the creator like Justin Roiland with Koala Man
Give that shit the rest, nobody gives about that homosexual now.
Nobody gives what about that homosexual show?
Just an example. Don't read so much into it
Also Molly is also a homosexual show
Not enough to get the entire show cancelled.
Hirsch kept Inside Job in pre-production for 3 years, causing it to go $5million over budget and dooming it from being able to become succesful
source?
I could have believed he just got an EP credit via his general deal with Netflix, and having past ties with the creator

LARP
Inside Job was insanely popular, though. And it's asinine to cancel a show after dumping so much money into it. Corporations keep falling for sunk cost fallacy.
Netflix
Because they don’t want to pay union wages or whatever that two season loophole is about.
frick.
netflix.
Unoriginal shit, a perfect intersection of Rick and Morty and American Dad with a little Gravty Falls but without any of the charm of talent those shows have/had

I will never forgive Netflix for taking Reagan away from us and robbing us of more cute outfits.
I wish a long, drawn-out death upon the responsible parties
Don't say that. We can still draw new Reagan fan art or commission new Reagan lewds even without new episodes. I don't know why so many people nowadays act as if a fandom has to die with the show. Regardless of Netflix pulling the rug from under Shion, her characters will always live on in our memories and future fan content.
made for corruption
I don't understand Reagan's appeal.
She's an acceptable frick buddy for older men.
She's comfortably ugly, pretty enough to be attractive but blemished enough to feel down to earth and accessable, relatable, funny, dominant in a very safe way, ect
She fulfills the appeal of the smelly neet gf who will jerk off next to you on the couch, while being a successful and driven person that can take charge, and while being a Liz Lemon on top of that.
I see.
It could be like Futurama but somehow become insufreable shit in the second season/part. No one care about her feelings
I care about her feelings.

At some point you gotta establish new ips
Nahh it's way easier to just get people worked up over another controversial reboot
Leadership and culture changes regarding a show only a few knew or cared about
Because
This actually got a laugh out of me. Frick Netflix, and frick its user base that keeps only Big Mouth afloat.
Myc turning into a censor bar is especially funny.
it literally only died because netflix decided that people weren't binging it enough in the first few weeks

I wasn't funny and the fanbase convinced themselves that it was greater then it was

Stopped watching after like 7 minutes of the first episode.
Really? What moment killed it for you?
No fujobait
Come again?
Fail? No, they didn't fail.
They were murdered.
Worse, even. They were murdered fresh off of celebrating a major accomplishment. They were silenced because they stood as a beacon of hope for the future of original TV animation.
You look so smug, pink cat, but I can see that your smirk hides your disheartenment. I will always cherish this series, no matter what.
It didn’t, but Netflix pretended it did to cover their ass
I'd like to cover Reagan's ass
I wonder where the cast will go now. The voice actors and writers, the original creator must be in shreds.
I know she'd wear a two piece, but I'd love to see Reagan in a shiny one piece.
>wanting a one-piece over a delicious two-piece
For what reason? You really wanna rob yourself of Reagan’s cute tummy?
I like one pieces far more than two.
Fair enough. Is there a particular reason why? I personally prefer bikinis since I'm into exposed midriffs.
Just the way it hugs the body, squeezes and accentuates the figure with hints of what's beneath. Leotards, bodysuits, and one piece swimsuits are my jam.
I guess you've got a point. I'm sure someone will eventually think of drawing Reagan in a one-piece someday.
I will, I just need time.
>I know she'd wear a two piece
Yep it's already canon.
>Why did it fail?
Netflix and not a strong enough supporting cast.
Outside of Reagan and Brent, the rest of the central is really forgettable. I don't even remember the name of the doctor who's whole gimmick was being strung out 24/7.
It didn't really hold my attention. Out of every show I've ever watched, this show is the one that I would regularly dip out of.
In your defense, Inside Job is pretty sitcom-y a lot of the time. I wanna believe the lack of clear act breaks could be a reason why. Are there any half-hour streaming originals that HAVE kept your attention?

heh
It got cancelled? Doesn't netflix do that to every show after season two that isn't a hit?
Inside Job was the only adult animated show not named Big Mouth to survive the wave of cancellations last year and get renewed; then it fricking got reversed and everything's been blown to pieces.

Oh then that is unfortunate

Netflix hates fun
because you touch yourself
Kinda hard not to when this hot piece of ass is always on my mind

I don't know if the reasoning is that Shion's the series creator or something, but it does get me wondering about how Hollywood credits are figured out.
Taco Gucci (get it?) Is Shion's production company. Either Alex doesn't have a production company or his production company didn't work on the show.
It had a good run. Also, it isn't as good as people think that it is.
Female protagonist
This show would've been a hit if it came out ten years ago.
