20 Animated TV Shows That Are Practically Flawless

7. Undone

X-Men Animated Series
Amazon Studios

One of the best and most tragically underrated original programmes from Amazon Prime, Kate Purdy and Raphael Bob-Waksberg's gorgeous, rotoscoping animated drama Undone may only be two seasons in, but has already proved its worth.

Starring Rosa Salazar as a woman who uses her newfound ability to move through time and space to uncover the secrets of her father's death, the tragicomic sci-fi heartbreaker matches its stunning, mind-bending visual flare with a powerful sense of character and tone, which is at once darkly amusing and melancholy.

At first a bracing mystery, Undone quickly evolved into much more than met the eye, revealing itself as a haunting portrait of mental health, and a stunning odyssey into the trials and tribulations of a messy family unable to reconcile their pasts.

Yes, sixteen episodes may not be enough to call Undone a masterpiece, but it's proven such a unique vision so quickly that it's impossible to deny its place here.
