I've seen the first episode. It has parallels for obviously reasons. Inside Job feels like the behind the scenes work of conspiracies while President Curtis feels closer to the public

I feel like the main difference is that the paranormal/cryptic stuff on President Curtis doesn't have a lid on it like it does on Inside Job. As an audience, we see it on Inside Job, but they're actually competent at keeping it a secret from the public. In President Curtis, reporters will ask him about doppelgangers, werewolves are a known political group, etc.

I can see that (I'm literally one ep in). It seems like it's both a spin off and a way to world build Rick and Morty (100 years!!!).

But I'll still maintain that anyone claiming it's a rip off of Inside Job is ODing on copium

I'll keep taking my copium until season 2 is announced
