'Long Story Short' Creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg Plans To Explore "Different Corners of the Universe" in Season 2

Tell me if you've heard this before: families can be complicated. It's such a clichΓ©d thing to say, but there's a world of complexity to unpack with it. Some of the best TV shows have explored the intricacies of families, but none have done it in a way quite like the Netflix animated series Long Story Short. Told in a non-linear fashion, the comedy-drama show is centered on three adult siblings – Avi (Ben Feldman), Shira (Abbi Jacobson), and Yoshi (Max Greenfield) – as they experience life while looking back on their childhood and their parents, played by Lisa Edelstein and Paul Reiser.

Prime Video's 'Every Year After' Is a Predictable but Compelling Summer Escape | Review

Romance adaptations are having a moment. If you've been paying attention to the genre's status on TV, it's been on a roll for years, with shows like Bridgerton and The Summer I Turned Pretty rapidly evolving into pop-cultural phenomena. These adaptations are appealing to book fans who already love the source material and the general audience who wants to be swept up by a love story. People are yearning to yearn, and these series deliver. In particular, Prime Video has become a hub where these romance adaptations flourish. From international hits like Maxton Hallβ€”The World Between Us to underrated gems like My Lady Jane, the streamer is quietly bringing back the types of series that used to thrive on The CW. Last month, Off Campus took the world by storm, and now, Every Year After is joining the ranks. While many might try to make comparisons to The Summer I Turned Pretty, Every Year After distinguishes itself as two coming-of-age stories centered on first love and second chances.
