The first thing someone should pick up from the show is the witty and amazing paced dialogues and funnily written characters.

Who would've thought a public radio setting could bring out so much of modern society, from the smart comedic parody of the left-wing media host and his assistant to the great characterization of the (tiktok viral) bisexual frat boy to the gray and cozy demeanor of the executive producer.

The artistic choices are a chapter of their own, the stop motion animation is amazing although assisted with some digital after effects, the fact it blends in real life performances of actors and entertainers is great and so well done, they of course follow a script and some can make it seem more natural than others but the smart way the script makes fun of interviews without being outlandish makes the physical world interviewed seem to belong to the world of a stop animation, made up host such as the greatly talented and stunning Lauren Caspian.

I grew up with Mike Judge's Beavis and Butthead and loved Office Space (one of my favorite movies). I love Greg Daniel's US adaption of The Office. I certainly appreciate the stop-motion animation of "In the Know" as the work that goes into it is just amazing. The show is an incredible example of the painstaking detail for such work.

However, Zach Woods ("Gabe" from The Office (US)) is bothersome in his role as Lauren. Aside from Woods's annoying demeanor as he portrays in The Office, the show is entertaining. The other characters in the "In the Know" make up for such annoyance. Of course, New York Times has predictably placed the show in a category that is not conducive to every difference of society. Well, if you are giving any credit to New York Times as of the past few years, then simply disregard this review and go about the continued desire for sheltered existence and promote the disdain of recognizing that people are different.

Each character is super well written. The writers do a great job of showing society its blind spots and hypocrisies. Reminiscent of Dr. Katz in that they have contemporary people saying things that are unscripted. The dialogues are very heavily packed so that I could watch this again and again and pick up more jokes. It's fun to mix claymation with interviews of real people this show is a lot of fun. It's great to have Mike Judge writing and voice acting in this underrated TV series. I'm looking forward to more episodes in the future. Say enough good about the writing and the characters.!!!!!!
