Long Story Short
Long Story Short is an animated sitcom from Raphael Bob-Waksberg, creator of Bojack Horseman. The first season is now streaming on Netflix. The show takes place over several decades in the lives of a Northern California Jewish family.
I am Jewish and live in Northern California, so I am in the target market for this show. It was torture to watch. I gave up after one and a half episodes. It was not funny; it was not interesting; it was flat out annoying. Every character was a stereotype of an annoying Jew.
I was never that big of a fan of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, mainly because of the scenes with the parents. But at least the main storyline of Midge’s burgeoning comedy career was interesting and funny. Long Story Short is what a spinoff of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel featuring only the parents would be like.
