President Curtis is filling the Inside Job hole in my life
I know a lot of people (including me) were dismissive of a Rick and Morty spinoff solely about the President character, which seemed to make no sense in concept. I really thought it would be a boring beat-a-dead-horse show about the President dealing with cleaning up Rick's shenanigans. But after watching the first few episodes, it's actually been pleasantly good, and it's clear this is a blatant attempt at picking up the Inside Job audience.
I think it will suffer as people unfamiliar think it is a continuation of the R&M show style and plot, and will pass on it as such. But it is its own thing (and hardly touches the multiverse stuff of R&M) and really is just a reskin of Inside Job in both characters and government conspiracy plot points.
I'm not sure how this show got made, who thought it was a good idea, or how they decided to tie it to R&M at all. But the jokes hit (sadly a little more "appropriate for TV" than Inside Job) and they are unapologetic about the fact they're stealing from Netflix.
This post is basically a PSA that if you're like me and were very bothered by Inside Job getting cancelled, this makes up for it partially. And that I would like people to watch it so that this show does not get cancelled as fast as IJ did. That would be cool thanks.
