Haunted houses are just hokey gimmicks for rubes, right? That’s what Barney thinks when he applies to work at one, desperate for any job that would help him move out of his mother’s house. Equal parts Rick and Morty, Futurama, and American Dad!, Inside Job will make you nostalgic for the time when conspiracy theories were fun, rather than threatening the fabric of society. Forced to do tech support in an organization she should be running, Reagan has to balance her irresponsible co-workers-including a half-dolphin supersoldier and a sentient psychic mushroom from Hollow Earth-with her alcoholic father’s attempts to reveal the truth to the public, all while catering to the whims of the shadowy elites running everything. An animated workplace comedy, the show follows the hyper-competent but socially awkward Reagan Ridley as she gets reluctantly partnered with the All-American people-pleasing goofball Brett Hand. Inside Job gives viewers a glimpse behind the curtain, showing the inner workings of Cognito, Inc.-a shadow organization covering up every outlandish conspiracy that you’ve ever heard of. Reptoids orchestrating world politics? Real. If Stranger Things is Netflix’s gourmet horror, Resident Evil is glorious junk food-campy, gory, and impossible to stop consuming. However, departing from canon means the show is free to go in wild new directions, and it seizes the opportunity with gusto: This is eight episodes of fast-paced, adrenaline-fueled biopunk action that rarely relents, where practically every scene ends on a cliffhanger. The focus is instead on Jade, one of Wesker’s twin daughters, artificially conceived under mysterious circumstances, and split over two time periods-post-apocalyptic 2036 and present day 2022, detailing how everything went wrong.
There’s the nefarious Umbrella Corporation, a mad scientist called Albert Wesker, and hordes of zombies and mutated creatures caused by the T-Virus, but that’s about it.
