Unique Netflix series you will want to binge watch more than once this weekend

Netflix's latest and unique 10-part series is the perfect show to binge watch more than once this bank holiday weekend.

Long Story Short releases on the major streaming platform from today (August 22). All episodes will be available to watch and its highly likely that most users will binge watch the whole thing more than once before Monday.

It comes from the creator of Bojack Horseman Raphael Bob-Waksberg and this new series is an automatic must watch for fans of that show. There's a chance it could even challenge for one of the best shows available on Netflix.

Its cast includes familiar voices including Paul Reiser, known for roles in Stranger Things and Curb Your Enthusiasm, Superstore and Mad Men actor Ben Feldman, Abbi Jacobson and New Girl's Max Greenfield. There's also guest appearances from Ben Schwartz, Dave Franco and Zach Braff.

According to the show's synopsis, Long Story Short is an animated comedy about one family, over time. Jumping through the years, we follow the Schwooper siblings (gift an amalgamated surname from their parents Schwartz and Cooper) from childhood to adulthood and back again, chronicling their triumphs, disappointments, joys, and compromises.

However, we also follow their partners, extended family and even their own children. That is what makes the series unique. The show's overall plot, of what there is, is not told chronologically.

Instead, viewers will follow different generations during some of the biggest and most key times of their lives. This includes childhoods in the 1990s, teenage years in the 2000s, struggling through and dealing with growing older throughout along with those moments that you don't realise are significant until you look back.

There might be a concern that this would be confusing. However, Long Story Short impressively doesn't need long to find its groove.

It also doesn't feel hamstrung by its unique selling point. It would be easy to be lost in the jumps in time but each episode is crafted so carefully

It's easy to see why the show has already been greenlit for a second season and it feels like there's plenty of tales, stories and deviations the show could tell across its multiple generations.

While Bob-Waksberg has moved away from the humanoid animals and commentary on fame and Hollywood, the heart and emotive punch found and celebrated in Bojack Horseman is still present here. There are no experimental episodes like in later seasons but there's time and plenty of potential.

Viewers should be warned that they will definitely shed a tear as much as they will laugh. The series focuses on the ups and downs of a Jewish family in the United States.

It also explores difficulties with parents, relationships, grief, parenting, work life balance and all of life's struggles. There was more than once I had to dry my eyes during the end credits.

Long Story Short could easily run for years. It's also one of the easiest binge watches of the year.

Not only that but it's one of very few shows I find myself starting to watch all over again from the beginning to find moments I may have missed and see how each episode fits together in the season as a whole. Bring on season two.

Long Story Short is streaming on Netflix.
