There’s certain creatives whose careers you’ll follow to the ends of the earth based on the success of even a single project. After Raphael Bob-Waksberg wrapped up one of the best comedies of the 21st century with Bojack Horseman in 2020, it was all but inevitable that I’d tune in for whatever he decided to do next. With Long Story Short – which drops its entire first season now on Netflix – Bob-Waksberg further hones his already sharp comedic voice in a more grounded world. Ya know, one without talking animals.
