Netflix's top comedy following 'BoJack Horseman' is titled 'Long Story Short'
In the world of streaming entertainment, a new animated series has caught the attention of critics and viewers alike. "Long Story Short", released on August 22, has been praised as the best comedy since the end of "BoJack Horseman" in 2020. The creator behind this new gem is none other than Raphael Bob-Waksberg, the mastermind behind "BoJack Horseman" itself.
"Long Story Short" offers a unique format, providing an out-of-order look at various family members spanning decades. The show tells the story of a family that ranges from children as young as 5 to middle-aged adults with families. Viewers can witness the character development and fill in the gaps as they progress through the series.
The series consists of 10, 25-minute episodes, each offering a laugh-out-loud funny experience. Unlike "BoJack Horseman", "Long Story Short" boasts a different animation style and a less crude tone. There is little swearing, little sex, and no violence, making it a more family-friendly option.
One of the standout performances in the series is by Lisa Edelstein, who voices the family's mother. Her portrayal is considered one of the best in the series, and her character's development is a highlight of the show.
In addition to the compelling storyline and stellar performances, "Long Story Short" also features some familiar faces. Ben Feldman from "Veep" takes on the leading role, while Max Greenberg from "New Girl" does a Tony Hale impression.
Despite the high scores and positive reviews, "Long Story Short" has yet to chart on Netflix's Top 10 shows list. This is somewhat surprising, given the lack of buzz around the series, despite its quality.
For nearly every Netflix viewer, regardless of animation preference, "Long Story Short" is recommended. If you're looking for a fresh, funny, and heartwarming series to watch, look no further.
In case you're curious about the creator's other recommendations, Raphael Bob-Waksberg also recommends the sci-fi novels "Herokiller series" and "The Earthborn Trilogy". You can find him on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram to stay updated on his latest projects.
