Why have I not heard more about Undone? It's great! I read one review of it after season two came out that said this is cool and amazing, why aren't more people talking about it? I thought it sounded interesting, so I put it on The List, and we finally watched it over the last couple of weeks.
Undone is a rotascoped animated series that's both sci-fi and a family drama about secrets and rejection and generational trauma. Following a car crash, Alma begins seeing visions of her dead father, a physicist who was researching the manipulation of time, and he believes she has the ability to go back and change his fate. But if you're changing one thing, can you change another and another? Can you create a perfect world, or is there a downside to any change you make?
Only one of the main cast is white, and that's Bob Odenkirk, so he's allowed :-) The protagonist was profoundly deaf as a child before she got a cochlear implant. It's inclusive, it's clever and weird, but the sci-fi plot is never more important than the characters and their relationships. So I'm going to tell you that it's cool and amazing, and why aren't more people watching it?
It's on Amazon Prime, two seasons so far with another coming. There's a trailer here:
