Long Story Short follows three siblings throughout their youth and adulthood. It sounds basic enough, except the ten-episode series time-hops every now and then, so we get to drop in on them during certain periods, like the drive back home from a loved one’s funeral, a catastrophic prom night, and even just a good night where everyone gets along. We get glimpses and snippets of their life in non-chronological order, but it all builds up to a resonant and deeply moving whole. Created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg of BoJack Horseman and Tuca & Bertie fame, it’s not surprising how heart-wrenching Long Story Short can get. But as Waksberg leaves behind his animal avatars in this series and focuses instead on human characters, he also crafts something a little less devastating and a little more delightful and closer to home.
"An immensely moving, blisteringly funny temporal travelogue."
— Ben Travers
"It’s a melancholic yet joyous tribute through comedic storytelling to a family that may not be your own but that isn’t all that far off either."
— Brian Tallerico
From the creator of "BoJack Horseman" comes this animated comedy about a family over time, following siblings from childhood to adulthood and back again.
The series jumps in and out of different time periods to follow the Schwooper family, especially siblings Yoshi (Max Greenfield), Shira (Abbi Jacobson), and Avi (Ben Feldman) throughout their childhoods and adulthoods.
The feeling that lingers with you after every episode, a mix of joy and melancholy.
A visually delightful family dramedy about sibling dynamics in all its complex love and rivalry.
