"A review of 'Long Story Short' praises the family comedy from the creator of 'BoJack Horseman,' as it beautifully captivates audiences with its heartwarming moments while simultaneously leaving them in tears."
In the world of streaming television, a new comedy series has made a splash - 'Long Story Short'. Created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg, the creator of 'BoJack Horseman', this series offers a unique blend of humour and emotion, centred on a Jewish family in Northern California named the Schwoopers.
The Schwoopers consist of siblings Avi, Shira, Yoshi, and unmentioned others. The middle child, Shira, voiced by Abbi Jacobson, navigates being the only Schwooper daughter. Avi, voiced by Ben Feldman, is the nerdiest and most distant from the family's Jewish faith. Avi's abandonment of Shira during a childhood game of pretend lifeguard rescues affects their relationship in adulthood, preventing him from being a sperm donor for her and Kendra.
Yoshi, the youngest sibling voiced by Max Greenfield, is the black sheep of the family. The animation style of 'Long Story Short' resembles illustrated storybooks or family drawings, despite depicting family trauma and thorny parental relationships.
Naomi Schwartz and Elliot Cooper are the parents of the Schwooper siblings. Naomi is overbearing and prone to guilt-tripping, while Elliot is kind and deferent. The name of Naomi's mother in the series is not publicly known.
Each episode of 'Long Story Short' consists of two vignettes: a cold open set in the Schwoopers' childhoods and a main focus on key life events or character-centric deep dives. The series employs a non-linear structure, presenting vignettes from the Schwoopers' lives that do not play out sequentially.
'Long Story Short' presents a contradiction between wonderful, supportive experiences and getting messed up, encapsulating this in a beautiful, heart-wrenching show. Wolves invading a school campus and Yoshi selling mattresses that come in tubes are examples of absurd storylines in 'Long Story Short' that reveal deeper truths about the Schwoopers.
'Long Story Short' is now streaming on Netflix, and has been renewed for Season 2. This series offers a fresh perspective on family dynamics, Jewish life, and the lasting impacts of small moments from childhood. Don't miss out on this moving and funny journey.
