Does inside job get better? I watched the pilot and it was just felt so insanely forced to me. I really was struggling to actually laugh with it.

It gets good enough that I was pissed when they cancelled it.

Man Disenchantment just can't get it together. The first 3 episodes are fantastic too. They keep over-complicating and papering over things that spin out of control. I don't know if the Groening team just can't handle a serialized show or what it is, but the show just never comes together. They abandon every thread that's interesting too!

This most recent season is the last, so you might as well finish it off. It doesn’t really get better from what I’ve seen, though.

I wanted so much more from Disenchantment, which is ironic in retrospect. The writing just felt like Mr. Baggins’ morning toast with too little butter scraped across it. Each season could be compressed down to a movie with very punchy dialogue and good comedy beats. Instead, it’s kind of a drawn out slog where the animation is doing a lot of heavy lifting for most scenes.

I hate Disenchantment because I like Bean and I don’t like seeing her suffer.

FWIW, it got canceled after one season.

I think what makes it so difficult is as soon as I saw the listing, I knew exactly what it was going to be, and I found the jokes weren’t particularly better than anything I could write. And I’m not a particularly good writer lol. It basically ended up being exactly what I expected it to be.

Inside Job’s take on the moon landing is this:
The real reason America went to the moon is that JFK had already tried every sexual experience on earth, and he wanted to see what sex on the moon was like. “We choose to go to the moon not because it is easy, but because I am hard.” Unfortunately, the Apollo astronauts formed a free love hippie sex commune on the moon, and the government had to hire Kubrick to fake the moon return.
If you don’t think that’s funny then I don’t think Inside Job is for you. For me the thing carrying the show is how relatable and likeable Reagan is as a protagonist.

In multiple words? Very no.

If you want more content from those creators watch Little Demon. Danny DeVito plays Satan.

Nope, made by a great guy named Mike McMahan. He was a writer on Rick and Morty before co-creating a show with Justin Roiland. Then he got this gig. He’s a huge Star Trek fan and exceptionally funny himself. The show is really well done without compromising on typical Star Trek ideals and morals. Also includes more easter eggs than you can shake a bat’leth at. It’s an awesome ride.

And the other show he co-created is Solar Opposites, which felt like a Rick and Morty wannabe to me at first, but has actually surpassed it in quality.
Stamets@startrek.website 8 months ago
Solar Opposites was co-created with the Rick and Morty co-creator so probably makes sense. Also, that Rick and Morty dude (Justin Roiland) left after Season 3.

And nothing of value was lost. It’s pretty clear that Roiland mostly provided the gross-out stuff rather than the sci-fi concepts.
