![]() Netflix was once hailed as a new beginning when it came to original content, animation especially, but as shows continue to be axed and even a hit like Inside Job struggles to tell its story, I’m not sure what future there is to hope for. I’m praying that we might have a Tuca & Bertie situation on our hands and there’s a slim chance a rival network or platform will swoop in and help wrap things up, but we all know that’s a pipe dream that so few canceled projects are able to attain. Now all this effort, all this ambition, and all this heart, is left abandoned. Many of these jokes were compelling filler too, the real meat coming from episodes focused on stellar character moments and wider narrative arcs helping to flesh out the bigger picture. Fake moon landings, lizard people, chemtrailsif it’s been. The concept of a shadow corporation being responsible for all the world’s most ridiculous conspiracies is a lightweight idea at first glance, yet established a foundation for relevant political discourse and a dissection of the alt-right in ways not enough shows are able to combat with such honesty, whether it be bringing internet harassment to task or poking fun at the modern world’s ridiculous celebrity culture. There’s no conspiracy theory too far-fetched for Netflix’s Inside Job, an animated workplace comedy created by Shion Takeuchi. This is to everyone angry at Disney for not giving more. I’m devastated in knowing that characters I came to love, root for, and empathise with won’t get their time to shine, or an opportunity to conquer the show’s light-hearted cynicism and cement their own happiness. Reminder that Inside Job, by Shion Takeuchi, has been cancelled by Netflix, left on a cliffhanger. That’s not to say the projects I just mentioned aren’t at all capable of that, but the unwillingness to welcome in new blood or experiences that want to do more than entertain children speaks to how animation has long played second fiddle. 1 She was also a storyboard artist on the Disney and Pixar animated film Monsters University. She was a writer on Gravity Falls and a storyboard artist on Regular Show. It wishes to cut the chaff and focus exclusively on larger, more guaranteed successes like Boss Baby and Arcane, or licensed properties with a built-in appeal, instead of more traditional projects that stand a chance at pushing the art forward. Storyboard artist Website Source Shion Takeuchi is a television writer, producer, and storyboard artist. I’ve covered Netflix’s out of touch approach regarding animation before. Inside Job has been left out in the cold, and it sucks. Once again, animation suffers at the hands of a streaming giant that fails to understand the medium, or fears an ambitious project that dares venture beyond the broadest of demographics. ![]() The animated show appeared to have ample momentum and so much potential, but has been abandoned despite a tense cliffhanger and unresolved character arcs. Inside Job has been canceled by Netflix ahead of its second season, its creator Shion Takeuchi has confirmed.
