Streaming Finds: Tracking down sci fi and fantasy shows of interest available on the streaming services including originals that are worth seeking out.
What Is It? After a traumatic accident, a woman starts seeing her deceased father and finds herself unstuck in time as he works with her to solve the mystery of his death.
Starring: Rosa Salazar, Bob Odenkirk, Angelique Cabral, Constance Marie
The Skinny: This odd and surrealistic animated series comes from BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg as well as series scribe Kate Purdy. Some may not count it as sci fi at all, but it uses scientific theories to carry its narrative and should certainly appeal to genre fans. Alma starts having visions and appears to be unstuck in time following her accident, but those may only be the symptoms of her head trauma and her family history of schizophrenia. The story raises those questions and more and ultimately leaves the answers up to the viewers (unless a second season of the show is planned). Has Alma actually risen to another level of consciousness that allows her to do amazing things with her mind? Or is this all just a hallucination and should she take her meds to try and live a “normal” life? The series asks some pretty heady questions and uses its roto-scope animation creatively to bring the story to life. Throw in wonderful performances by Rosa Salazar (Alita: Battle Angel), Bob Odenkirk (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul), and the rest of the cast and you have a unique and intriguing original that stands apart from the crowd.
Amazon’s Prime Video is one of the Big Three streaming services (along with Netflix and Hulu), and it is included with Amazon Prime membership. It offers quite a large selection of past sci fi and fantasy shows as well as some first-class orginals such as The Boys, The Man in the High Castle, and The Tick (though sadly the latter show has been cancelled). Undone is a strong addition to the streamer’s originals and is definitely worth checking out. And at eight episodes of less than thirty minutes each, it is a pretty quick watch.
