Season 2 Review:
“Undone” continues to approach the concept of trauma as an inherited trait with care and precision. On a technical level, the show is still an absolute marvel. ... Just when it felt like “Undone” could not top its first season, its second has it firing on all cylinders. It is a tragic but poignant story of how to live with past guilts, pains, and scars from generation to generation.

Season 1 Review:
Transfixing and lushly beautiful. ... “Undone” has humor and story enough to make it more than an art object. ... It is magnificent art, a world opulently realized from its oil-painted backgrounds to its sound design. You don’t watch this show so much as fall into it. ... There’s no place like “Undone.”

Season 1 Review:
To call Amazon's “Undone” a breathtaking piece of animation would be both to speak truly and to undervalue its strengths. To call it a complex, rich psychodramedy would be accurate and far from the complete picture. It is both, a perfect marriage of story and style, each half invaluable and impossible to divorce from the other. ... Grounded. Fantastical. A series worthy of deep examination, but which can be most accurately summed up in two words: Watch it.

Season 2 Review:
What she discovers is the roots of another eight episodes that take the series’ premise and further makes good on its infinite promise. It’s a new path that transfers attention from a handful of characters from the first season in favor of zeroing in even more on the greater Winograd-Diaz tapestry, including Becca and Alma’s mother Camila (Constance Marie).

Season 1 Review:
Together, the animation and the writing compliment each other to form a unique new form of television; one that’s easy to get caught up in, even when it stumbles a bit while explaining itself. “Undone” is a fascinating project to examine, but it’s also a very good, very human story, sans the flashy packaging.

Season 2 Review:
Big ideas here. Profound at times. But they’re encased in an oddly buoyant and funny context that also manages to be substantial and emotionally resonant. Salazar and Odenkirk are in tonal concert within the trippy setting and concept, finding comedy and affection in the material and making it seem effortless. ... To not continue watching Undone would be foolhardy.

Season 1 Review:
Even when watching “Undone” is a deeply unnerving experience, it usually finds a way to twist its narrative, let its actors lean into their characters’ flaws, and reap unexpected rewards from often shattering revelations. There’s certainly no other show like it, which at this point is truly no small feat.

Season 1 Review:
Undone fully integrates its genre elements and its hot topics—science vs. religion, biracial identity, contemporary sociopolitical malaise—into the story’s structure. ... Undone embraces a form of speculative storytelling that’s closer to mythology. Its rotoscoped world might be merely a fun-house mirror of reality, but if you’re brave enough to gaze into it, a mind-expanding adventure awaits.

Season 2 Review:
This new season continues doing what Undone does best, beautifully weaving stories of different cultures together, painting an interesting landscape of healing trauma in a variety of backgrounds and circumstances. While the narrative’s driving force may feel a bit different, the characters we know and love are evolving, demanding a different kind of story, and effectively offering a more nuanced look at the conversation around how we heal.

Season 1 Review:
Undone is so consistently and intriguingly eye-popping as an advanced sensory experience that it's remarkably easy to forgive its failings on more simple narrative levels. ... The potential is still there. For now, there's so much that works here that I've made quick peace with the fact that this is a whodunit in which the answer doesn't yet matter to me at all.

Season 1 Review:
Undone can be beautiful and inventive, but rather than directly confront such concerns, it mostly just kicks each can of worms a little further down the road, to perhaps be addressed in a future season while it continues to use the question of Alma’s sanity as a story hook.

Season 1 Review:
A fascinating adult animated fantasy that's anything but a cartoon. [16-29 Sep 2019, p.25]

Season 2 Review:
The series has lost the air of uncertainty in favor of depicting lives whose problems are implausibly neat and solvable. It’s a journey for definite solutions that feels less like the messy, disorienting process of being alive than playing a video game while reading the strategy guide.
