I'll admit, I did watch R&M as the seasons aired but I wouldn't associate myself with that show. This on the other hand, holy crap.
I mean holy crap.
Season 1 Part 1 walked so Part 2 could run. In as small a time frame as a dozen episodes you get more character development than all of R&M. I feel baffled that I didn't pick this up sooner, it feels unreal.
The voice actors killed it. Lizzy Caplan as Reagan and Adam Scott as Ron, the supporting cast as well, they killed it. I have a ton of respect for them.
The animation is there when it needs to be. It's not really an action show, but fight scenes and such are clearly choreographed and detailed. I like it, and the characters are all distinct and likeable.
Now the real stuff. The characters and their story are seriously amazing. Rick and Morty and Inside Job share a common theme: They explore relationships and conflicts through the lens of fiction. Reagan has to deal with so much stuff that it's insane. And it isn't relatable for the sake of being relatable, Reagan is her own character and isn't a self insert. Her dad being a sociopathic tryhard of a genius who doesn't care to love his own daughter, her workplace being a constant crapstorm that heats up every minute, it's unreal how much crap she has to sort through. But it never gets stale, you always feel like the characters change in some way.
Shoutout to Shion Takeuchi who is really the main person responsible for this amazing show, she really deserves more credit.
