A kaleidoscopic existential crisis, #Undone bends the rules of space, time, and rotoscoping to weave a beautifully surreal tapestry that is at once fantastical and utterly relatable. #Undone is now #CertifiedFresh at 100% on the #Tomatometer: https://t.co/S3yby57SgK pic.twitter.com/4xcXBZlpxB

"Undone" is as arresting, devastating, and dizzying a show as you might expect from the BoJack Horseman team. (Also: Rosa Salazar r u l e s.) My review! https://t.co/Iw8eYHXeNh

COMMENTARY-The Bold Mix Of Animation Techniques In Amazon’s ‘Undone’ Is A Wake-Up Call For The TV Industry: In the tv animation industry, production techniques are reduced to a binary decision of 2d or cgi. Undone shows that it doesn't need to be that way. https://t.co/0eAwbMmcy5 pic.twitter.com/D7ckUFJEPz

the subtle developments--especially between sam and alma--caught me off guard and i love how essential heritage and lineage are to the plot and the identity of the characters. anyone else watch this pretty incredible show?
