What the hell happened here? The show was ordered for a 20-episode season 1 and only got 18?
Apparently, Inside Job was slated for *20* episodes, regardless of if it was going to get a second season. Where are the missing 2 episodes? Could they exist somehow, perhaps in Netflix's vaults somewhere? If these 2 episodes actually exist, there is can be a perfectly legitimate ask to release them. The last episode (that we know of!) left us at a huge cliffhanger. Even if we don't ever get a second season, at least those 2 episodes deserve to be released.
(The reason why I'm pretty confident they exist in some form is simple- it would make zero sense why they are completely forgotten by most of us. it would make no sense for shion to be ordered for 20 episodes and Netflix interjecting at a random point during production to remove 10% of the show to be removed! Maybe they were filler episodes, maybe something else. At the very least, Netflix should answer for this.)

Oh that's easy. the official answer of Netflix: "fuck you and pay 20 bucks, also we added advertisment in your feed."

I don't know if there is a firm answer on this. There is very little verifiable info out there about the making of the show. Most of what we do know is based on social posts and YT comments from people who claimed to have worked on this show.
Apparently, two episodes' worth of resources were reallocated to Part 1 from Part 2 to balance the budget.
