Undone

I stumbled upon the trailer for this (experience) a while ago , It got my attention though I thought they are using the rotoscoping technique as a gimmick and boy, I was wrong.

The series is an out-of-this-world experience , you are sailing through the vast ocean of the protagonist's mind , It's like an astral projection and the rotoscoping technique gives it a fluid like way of moving and sailing through existence and un-existence , dreams and reality, all accompanied by an exquisitely beautiful and ethereal score that reminded me of the late James Horner's score for (A Beautiful Mind) ... I really can't find the proper words to describe the beauty of it. The casting was perfect , the script and the build-up were amazing , This is a piece of art that deserves more credit ,

And It has some of the trippiest and most beautiful sequences ever made.

A must see.

Yes this show is touching, fascinating, bold, different. But these sorts of descriptions put me off watching it, because I am a very shallow person and generally avoid things described as 'profound', 'thought-provoking', 'moving' etc. What I realise having watched the first season and just starting the second, is that it is fun. Fun fun fun! Funny, fast-moving, addictive fun. This really should be said more, because it might help the show reach emotionally immature people like myself.

Well written and beautifully done. Each character is strongly written and the story is compelling. Life, death, and whatever may fall in between. If you're looking for something different, this is it, and more!

Amazon's latest original title ''Undone'' manages, and magnificently so , to intricately integrate flabbergasting ''Rotoscope'' animation with surreal, thought-provoking storytelling.

Quality animation isn't just meant to beautify the content , but rather to elevate it and maximize its potential , which is precisely the matter in ''Undone''. Rotoscoping in this particular case shone a bright light on the constantly deteriorating sense of reality around the protagonist ,which is emphasized by the seamlessly bewildering transitions , and the constant shattering of reality manifesting a dreamlike stage of existence reminiscent of the protagonist's state of mind .

But of course , the animation isn't the sole element lifting ''Undone'' , as it was quite beautifully coupled with an engaging story riddled with a multitude of themes; lived through flawed, realistic characters and one that leaves you aching for more .

9/10 Excellent .

I never write reviews, blah blah blah, but oh my goodness, what a ride! I loved the first season and feel like I've been waiting eagerly for s02 for eons. Put it on last night and couldn't help but scoff the lot.

One of the things that makes this show great is that it's 2 shows in one: a sci if fantasy, and a black comedy drama about mental illness. Season 2 goes bigger, bolder, crazier, and even cleverer I think. They never compromise substance for style, but just inundate us with both. Honestly would happily binge the lot again the very next day. There's so much to enjoy as a fantastical roller coaster alone, but the metaphorical realism woven throughout packs such an emotional punch. And helps us to understand more deeply how human beings work. How trauma affects us. How unhealed wounds are passed down and ripple out through generations. There's so much to unpack, whilst also still being so entertaining, it's really pretty astonishing.

Genuinely, perhaps the most I've ever enjoyed a season of a tv show. I couldn't believe there weren't already more reviews marvelling at this show's achievements so here you go. Watch it. Right now. You need to.
