## Synopsis

Long Story Short (2025) is a US adult animated comedy created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg for Netflix. Following the creator of BoJack Horseman, the series traces a family of siblings from childhood to adulthood and back again, with Naomi (Lisa Edelstein), Elliott (Paul Reiser), Avi (Ben Feldman), Shira (Abbi Jacobson), Yoshi (Max Greenfield), Jen (Angelique Cabral) and Kendra Hooper (Nicole Byer) among the voice cast. The engine of the show is the way ordinary family moments, such as holidays, rivalries, lost chances and old grudges, accumulate over decades and reshape how the siblings see one another. Each episode moves between time periods, so small childhood slights and adult regrets echo through the story. The tone blends wry, sharp humor with a wistful undercurrent about growing up, staying tied to people, and the stories families keep retelling. Its ten-episode first season is a compact, self-contained run that rewards attentive viewing. Fans of BoJack Horseman, Bob's Burgers and Undone will find resonance in its mix of animated irreverence and quietly honest family drama.
