The show also features Andie MacDowell, Nick Robinson and Anika Noni Rose. Inspired by the 2019 New York Times best-selling memoir, Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay and a Mother’s Will to Survive, by Stephanie Land, this 10-part drama follows the story of Alex (Margaret Qualley), a single mother who turns to housecleaning to – barely – make ends meet as she escapes an abusive relationship and overcomes homelessness to create a better life for her daughter, Maddy (Rylea Nevaeh Whittet). “With each episode running for around 30 minutes, most ending on a twist, and virtually all containing a thinly veiled lesson that'll resonate with the target audience, there's something for everyone here,” wrote Ready Steady Cut’s Jonathon Wilson. Those lined up to feature include Mckenna Grace, Gabriel Bateman and Henry Thomas. Stine, this eight-episode anthology series aims to tell astonishing and thought-provoking stories of a reality just beyond the one we know.Įach episode introduces viewers to a new cast of characters who must go on a surprising journey of self-discovery in a supernatural world of witches, aliens, ghosts and parallel universes. Inspired by a graphic novel series created by Goosebumps author R.L. Two of those qualities remain here as this acerbic, anarchic and somewhat salty language-laced sitcom unfolds.Īt its heart, Inside Job is the story of Regan Ridley (Lizzie Caplan, finally getting the comedic leading role her talents deserve), a brilliant, ambitious tech genius whose cutting-edge creations are helping the Men In Black-esque Cognito, Inc keep order in an increasingly chaotic world. Netflix’s first in-house adult animated series might just be the best of the genre to debut on the service since Bojack Horseman.įrom two troubled minds that gave the world the tragically short-lived Gravity Falls – Alex Hirsch and Shion Takeuchi – the 10-episode Inside Job is the perfect “grown-up” follow-up, both for those who were in their tweens/early teens when that series debuted in 2012 and those older who discovered and loved it for its smarts, sweetness and brilliant satire.
But, at its best, and 47 Emmy nominations attest to its quality, it is awfully hard to beat when it comes to compelling, binge-worthy comedy.
It’s frequently laugh-out-loud funny, full of situations and behaviour that will make you cringe – and most certainly an acquired taste. Only this has a cadre of myopic and self-obsessed Hollywood players and not eclectic New Yorkers as its anti-heroes.
