It’s Friday and just the right time for a weekend recommendation. Today we bring to you a gem of a series on Prime Video that was Amazon’s first adult animated original series and also its first to use rotoscoping, an animation technique used to trace over motion picture footage, frame by frame, to produce realistic action.
We are talking about the brilliantly made adult animated psychological comedy drama series ‘Undone’. The show created by Kate Purdy and Raphael Bob-Waksberg, premiered in 2019 on Prime Video and received huge acclaim. It was renewed for a second season that landed on the platform in April, 2022.
‘Undone’ explores the elastic nature of reality through its central character, Alma. After getting into a nearly fatal car crash, Alma discovers she has a new relationship with time and uses this ability to find out the truth about her father’s death.
The storyline is genius, surreal and revolutionary in the sense that it is both fantastical and relatable at the same time. And the second season is no less as it keeps you hooked throughout. The amazing cast of ‘Undone’ makes it more so special.
Directed by Hisko Hulsing,, ‘Undone’ stars Rosa Salazar, Bob Odenkirk, Angelique Cabral, Constance Marie, Siddharth Dhananjay and Daveed Diggs among others. If you haven’t watched this gem yet, this is your sign to do it. All two seasons of ’Undone’, consisting of 8 episodes each, are streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
