A different bet Amazon Prime Video, Undone draws attention for using the rotoscoping technique, which consists of redrawing frames of footage to be used in animation. Visually, the technique already instigated the spectators' curiosity to see the well-known cast in this other representation of them on screen, however, Undone quickly mischaracterizes itself as an innovation for the technique and stands out for its very well structured plot.

Undone features Soul (Rosa Salazar), a young woman who feels out of place and thinks her life could be more interesting. Is she your sister becca (Angelique Cabral) are shaken by the death of their father when they were still children, with Alma suffering more from the effects than Becca. And there is a reason for this, after being in a coma, Alma discovers that she has the power to walk through different realities and times, inherited from her grandmother, who was considered schizophrenic, and is now “haunted” by her late father (Bob Odenkirk), who needs help to unravel his murder and maybe get back into their lives.

Passing through duality at all times, the plot plays between mysticism and madness, leaving the doubt as to whether Alma is evolving schizophrenia or actually having this power. Her family believes that she is not well psychologically and leaves the protagonist with the constant fear of being treated like her grandmother.

This fear was already ingrained in Alma, who from the beginning sabotages her relationship with Sam (Siddharth Dhananjay) for having trust issues and fear of being abandoned as her grandmother was by her husband, having to spend her life in a clinic, and as she was by her father in her childhood.

Undone peels away several layers of the psychological of each character, revealing a new fear, exploring each trauma that caused him in each episode, showing an excellent narrative and construction of each character, analyzing the psyche of each one.

In this first season, even dealing with some issues regarding the supporting cast, Alma steals the show with her personal issues. Using an implant because she is hearing impaired, she also ends up analyzing how much her decisions were influenced by others and her problems in creating a personality for that.

Between dualities, deep family issues, losses, searches, loves and many emotions, Undone is a series that holds the viewer from beginning to end, raising relevant questions that add an incredible quality to the plot and masterful performances that prove capable of adapting to the animated process and dubbing.
