This is an engrossing series about a young woman in Texas who is either schizophrenic or traveling through time/dimensions. It is charming, witty and mysterious, and I cannot say enough positive things about the cast and their performances. The animation is used to dramatic effect and actually enhances the surrealistic story rather than detracting from it. I hope to see other movies and shows using this technique to not only add artistry, but also make possible a prohibitively expensive vision.

Imagine Family Guy done seriously and Stewie Griffin is played by a woman. The jump cuts are handled as three dimensional breaks in reality or mental illness. Leaving the viewership to decide and interpret.

Amazing art style. Reminded me of Waking Life which is also a great film. The first few episodes had me hooked. I guess I expected too much out of the ending, as I felt it dwindled into familiar territory after shooting off into space at the beginning. Still an amazing production with great acting and humor. Definitely worth a watch!!

"For Chicks Only"
Had high hopes - loved Salazar in "Alita" - but it's a series about a whackadoodle, self-destructive woman with daddy issues. Exited at ep2, won't waste my time with series like this. Beware the 8/9/10 shillbots, it's just not that great unless you're a femme in college studying personality disorders. (originally posted IMDB 10/2/19)

This show is bonkers, its just to good, you will find the animation weird in the begining but you will eventually get used to it, the writing is so good, the characters actually sound human, and the discussing about mental health and the super power stuff is so well done that really leaves you wandering about that ending

The art style is beautiful and the story is one of the most original concepts I've seen in television in the past few years. A true must watch.

I couldn't get past the hospital scene in episode 2. I don't like the writing--it's cloying. The Mother character is beyond irritating. Her comments in the hospital room made me turn off the tv. There are a lot of cliches. How this has a rating anywhere near the amazing "Fleabag" is absurd. FB has everything "Undone" doesn't--genuine humor, authenticity and originality. But I want to be clear--it's the writing that hurts this show. Bob Odenkirk is a great actor, and Rosa Salazar if terrific... it's her words that let her down.

So, I watched season 2, I now know that you have to watch all the episodes of both seasons to fully appreciate the show. This happens sometimes. You can watch the first few episodes of a series and not particularly like what you experienced - but, if you watch the entire series you gain a complete appreciation of it. I think this is why professional reviews often seem so incompetent. The professional reviewer gets the first episode or perhaps the first 3 episodes in advance and then writes a review without understanding what they are writing about. ***********************************************************************
This is my original review written in 2019 after season 1: I watched "Undone" because Bob Odenkirk (Breaking Bad lawyer) had a major role in the series and I really like his acting. But, almost all of the acting was very good - and Odenkirk was just one good actor among many in the series. In fact, Rosa Salazar who starred in this series makes this something I would recommend everyone should consider watching. I think people will enjoy this series more if their expectations are framed by knowing in advance that the overall plot of the series is not the real driver for why this is such a good series. So, for example, when the main character Alma goes into a rant about the Alamo - it's better to understand that it is not something that is somehow a driver of an overall plot. It's just a development of better understanding of a character in a very enjoyable and introspective way. So I know most people get upset if a story does not have a strong plot driven element. Just note that there are a lot of people who enjoyed this series. So, my recommendation is try to appreciate the character development and acting in this series because it is really quite good.
