Shows that feel likeInside Job (2021–2022)

For employees of the Deep State, conspiracies aren't just theories — they're fact. And keeping them a secret is a full-time job.

If you loved Inside Job, the closest series we have are Bob's Burgers (2011), Big Mouth (2017) and Mr. Pickles (2014). All three share Inside Job's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Aoashi (2022).

Common ground: adult animation

The difference: Takes it somewhere less paranoid than Inside Job does

Bob's Burgers follows a third-generation restaurateur, Bob, as he runs Bob's Burgers with the help of his wife and their three kids. Bob and his quirky family have big ideas about burgers, but fall short on service and sophistication. Despite the greasy counters, lousy location and a dearth of customers, Bob and his family are determined to make Bob's Burgers "grand re-re-re-opening" a success.

One thread runs through both: adult humor

The difference: Made in the 1990s, in a different era of the craft

Sick, twisted, politically incorrect and Freakin' Sweet animated series featuring the adventures of the dysfunctional Griffin family. Bumbling Peter and long-suffering Lois have three kids. Stewie (a brilliant but sadistic baby bent on killing his mother and taking over the world), Meg (the oldest, and is the most unpopular girl in town) and Chris (the middle kid, he's not very bright but has a passion for movies). The final member of the family is Brian - a talking dog and much more than a pet, he keeps Stewie in check whilst sipping Martinis and sorting through his own life issues.

Witty comedy, and it commits to that

The series focuses on an eccentric motley crew that is the Smith family and their three housemates: Father, husband, and breadwinner Stan Smith; his better half housewife, Francine Smith; their college-aged daughter, Hayley Smith; and their high-school-aged son, Steve Smith. Outside of the Smith family, there are three additional main characters, including Hayley's boyfriend turned husband, Jeff Fischer; the family's man-in-a-goldfish-body pet, Klaus; and most notably the family's zany alien, Roger, who is "full of masquerades, brazenness, and shocking antics."
