\n\t\tNetflix\u2019s net great comedy is flying under the radar (Picture: Netflix)<\/p>\n
A new comedy<\/a> on Netflix<\/a> that has gone completely under the radar is being hailed as a \u2018masterpiece\u2019 by viewers and already landed 100% on Rotten Tomatoes just one day after its release.\u00a0<\/p>\n While Suranne Jones<\/a>\u2019 new thriller Hostage shot straight to number one<\/a> this week, Netflix also launched Long Story Short, the new adult animated sitcom created by Raphael Bob-Waksberg, the writer of BoJack Horseman who is widely celebrated as being one of Netflix\u2019s best comedies of all time.\u00a0<\/p>\n The 10-episode series follows a middle-class Jewish family with the three siblings Avi (played by Ben Feldman), Shira (Abi Jacobson) and Yoshi (Max Greenfield) reflecting on their intensely religious upbringing.\u00a0<\/p>\n Long Story Short quietly debuted on Netflix yesterday with fans having no idea there was another new title from the BoJack Horseman team coming.\u00a0<\/p>\n On X, ryangaur wrote: \u2018I can finally tell you that it\u2019s the best show of 2025, and Raphael Bob-Waksberg\u2019s masterpiece.\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tGet personalised updates on all things Netflix\t\t\t<\/p>\n Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro\u2019s TV Newsletter.<\/p>\n Sign up to our newsletter<\/a> and then select your show in the link we\u2019ll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you.<\/p>\n JOhnny2Cellos agreed: \u2018Long Story Short is probably my favorite new season of TV this year. A GREAT family sitcom with an incredibly unique narrative that unfolds non-linearly.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u2018A special season of TV that y\u2019all should watch this weekend.\u2019<\/p>\n Over on Reddit, user Quiet-Fee-5878 said: \u2018Just watched one episode as I feel like it is too good to binge all at once (I am a Bojack lover so I come primed to adore this).<\/p>\n \u2018I really enjoyed the first ep and and totally trust the showrunner to take us on the journey. The way it\u2019s handling time feels like what is really gonna get under my skin and eventually make me weep.\u2019<\/p>\n \t\t The Guardian<\/a> went so far as to declare Long Story Short is \u2018so funny and clever it could run forever\u2019 in its four-star review while the Financial Times<\/a> hailed it as a \u2018bittersweet masterpiece\u2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n Discussing the new series, Raphael told Variety<\/a>: \u2018The universe itself is more visually grounded than BoJack, and not just because there are no animal people.<\/p>\n \u2018I think in some ways, BoJack was a TV show that was aware that it was a TV show. The characters weren\u2019t breaking the fourth wall, but there was a lot of irony in the joke-telling\u2026<\/p>\n \u2018It felt like on this new show, what if we abandoned that as a crutch and just leaned into the idea of like, \u201cNo, this is real\u201d.\u2019<\/p>\n Netflix has already somewhat uncharacteristically confirmed that Long Story Short season two is already in production.\u00a0<\/p>\n Long Story Short is available to stream on Netflix now.\u00a0<\/p>\n Got a story?<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk<\/a> entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff<\/a> page \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n \t\t\tComments Arrow Arrow![\"Michaela](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/SEI_263025488-83df.jpg\")
