The reality is canceled in an exquisite new series of the BoJack Horseman team

But where certain shows are sometimes made by an excessive confidence in the flair, FactThe singularly captivating visual style is always at the service of his deeply touching story. The Winograd-Diaz family, composed of Alma, Camila (Constance Marie, one of Hollywood's most iconic Latin mums), Becca (Angelique Cabral), still faces the death of their paterfamilias, Jacob Winograd (Bob Odenkirk) . But it is Alma who fights most against the idea of ​​a life that strides forward in his absence, even if at first it seems resigned to a painfully ordinary existence. A first montage represents his day from sunrise to sunset, replacing his backgrounds – his bathroom, his car, his workplace – while his expression is exhausted. But the next time she's in this loop, we notice small changes like a deeper groove in her forehead or the glimmer of tears.

These changes, which are all present in Salazar's performance (filmed on a black box), are highlighted by the same technique of rotoscopy that can create an impression of withdrawal, from what we see interpretation of what has already happened . Which is appropriate, given that Alma is facing this possibility and so many others who threaten – or promise – to upset her life throughout her life. FactThe first season of eight episodes. Of course, there is also a chance that all this is in her head, and that her father does not want to contact her between the living and the dead, and that she continues to wake up next to her devoted boyfriend . Sat (Patti Cake $ Siddharth Dhananjay), go to work with Tunde (Daveed Diggs), support her mother's needle and tolerate her sister's enthusiasm for her engagement with a rich dullard (voiced by Kevin Bigley, Bojack alum).

Rather than solving this tension directly, Fact cross the line of demarcation between these two paths by deploying the kind of scientific jargon that will sell you on time more efficiently Back to the future, while exploring the possibility that there is something else at stake. None of these options are presented as "good", but it is interesting to note that it is the angle of mental illness that needs to be overcome. At one end, we have theoretical physics, which can be ignored (see: Avengers: End of the game). But given the psychological profession and mismanagement of popular culture, mental illness is a much more difficult problem to master. Purdy, who wrote what could be the most heartbreaking episode of Bojack with "Time's Arrow" draws from her own experience of mental illness and family history, as well as from the way she sought help, including extensive research on shamanism and others. Mesoamerican traditions.

There are certainly times when this search lands like a lead ball in the middle of one of the FactOn the other hand, the kaleidoscopic moments are well known, but they still testify to the thoughtful approach of the series for each of its aspects. This consideration is expressed not only in Jacob's explanations of the native customs of his Jewish and Mexican-American daughters, but also in the representation of this multicultural family, who goes to church together without ever having a Christmas tree. . Camila almost never talks to her daughters in Spanish because she did not want Jacob to feel excluded, but she still suffers from being unable to share this part of her life with her daughters. And while Purdy and Bob-Waksberg are certainly able to tell these stories themselves, they collaborated with Latinx writers like Fact Producers Joanna Calo and Lauren Otero (who are also part of Bojack pedigree), as well as experts consulted on Aboriginal cultures and mental illness. Even if she shows her meticulously constructed worlds, Fact allusions to unexplored territories, leaving Alma and the viewer to decide whether or not to venture into it. But whether it's a captivating inner journey or a more fantastic leaning, FactThe reality is the one you want to live more than once.
