Matt Roush says...
One of the funniest and most endearingly neurotic families to arrive on TV in a long while is the creation of BoJack Horseman‘s Raphael Bob-Waksberg, with a visual assist from longtime collaborator Lisa Hanawalt (Tuca & Bertie). The animated series follows the Schwooper siblings—their surname is a mashup of parental units Elliott Cooper (a nebbishy Paul Reiser) and Naomi Schwartz (tart Lisa Edelstein)—from fractious childhood to messy adulthood and parenthood, with vignettes bouncing from the early 1990s to the early 2020s. Get to know Avi (Ben Feldman), Shira (Abbi Jacobson) and Yoshi (Max Greenfield) at any age, and you’ll relate to their hopes, fears and constant annoyances. I needed a good laugh this week, and Long Story Short supplied them in warm, biting abundance. Best news: The series has already been renewed for a second season.
