    Shockingly spectacular

    Bro I was expecting some middle-of-the-road average animated sitcom thing but this is genuinely on par with The Bear

    If this doesn't win Emmys next year I don't know what will because this is some top-tier stuff

    It's no surprise the creator of this series is also behind Bojack Horseman because similar to Bojack, Long Story Short has phenomenal writing in every aspect

    Please go watch this show so Netflix doesn't cancel it after its first season.

    Such a touching and sweet show!

    I loved this show so much! It was a heartwarming look into a very real-feeling family, and how they all connect with each other in loving and not-so-loving ways.

    The obvious point of comparison is with Bojack Horseman, which is one of my favorite shows. It's very reminiscent of Bojack but different in many aspects - the art style is very unique, it doesn't have the same zany adventures, and it's more of a series of vignettes rather than a linear narrative. But it absolutely has the same emotional resonance of Bojack, the characters and relationships feel incredibly real, and it has very funny moments with witty writing.

    Season 1 of Bojack Horseman wasn't perfect either

    We need to give this show time. It has the potential to become as good as Bojack Horseman. The season 1 was already great and even made me cry so I can't wait to see what season 2 has to offer.

    Only downside is that it doesn't have a character that I felt that connected to or considered my favorite.

    Overall a funny yet touching show, a 7.5/10 at least for now.

    (Maybe if they added like idk.. buff Mort from the Penguins of Madagascar to this show.. I mean it would make it an instant 10/10)

    It feels

    A good mix of Bojack And Tuca&Bertie with a dose of real storys.

    Its a concept, it hurts and massage your feelings... thats what an adult animation does, soft ways to say the hard truth of life.

    Im immediately attached I dont know how can someone watch it in a day and give it a low avaluation.

    Im considering bojack a 10, so this goes 9.

    Promising

    Although I'm only giving it an 8/10, I still believe this show can reach the same heights as Bojack. At first I thought this was going to be a more traditional sitcom, but from the last few episodes it's going the Bojack route but still managing to keep it's own identity. I love non linear storytelling and it works very well here. The comedy is top notch as expected. And even though I am very unfamiliar with Jewish culture, I think the show does a good job of making it relatable from the family aspect. I love the art style, especially the not so subtle way that it makes the main characters stick out in crowded areas. The only downsides to this show in my opinion are that some episodes like the matress one feel a bit unnecessary and the fact that the show doesn't have a clear protagonist makes it a bit difficult to get attached to these characters. But even so the characters have enough personality and suprising depth to keep me engaged. I really liked this first season and I'm glad the second season is confirmed because I know this show can be amazing.
