UNDONE

Audiences may recognize the production company, Tornante, for its critically acclaimed take on mental illness in the Netflix original “Bojack Horseman.”

I should have given them more credence, but when I saw the flashy trailer for Undone this summer, I was afraid of style over substance.

The Rotoscoped visuals brought me back to the stylish cult film “A Scanner Darkly”, a film that flashed great potential, but sunk itself under its own style.

Flash forward to now, where I have finished the short 8 episode series, roughly under 3 hours, and words are hard to come by.

The show uses what makes Bojack great, and distributes the focus to family, mental illness, and helplessness of not knowing where we belong.

The show wonderfully weaves its San Antonio setting to not only bring its characters to life, but in a way, the land on which San Antonio is built.

Rosa Salazar and Bob Odenkirk excel it what may be their best performances to date.

There aren’t enough words to praise Undone or what it has accomplished, and honestly, talking about it here would only diminish the viewers experience as they watch it for themselves. It’s nothing short of a masterpiece.

Simply put, it’s perfect.
