Ep 1. The Crash

Set in a mind-bending world of animation and live-action, Undone season 1 episode 1 titled The Crash introduces us to Alma, a nihilistic young woman who lives in San Antonio, Texas. Until just a few days ago, she spent most of her time sleeping, working at a daycare and struggling to connect with her boyfriend, Sam.

But all of that changes in the blink of an eye. In the first scene, Alma is driving her car down a familiar road when suddenly, a truck slams into her. The crash leaves her with a severe head injury, resulting in a temporary coma.

When she wakes up, things are a little different. Alma feels like she has a new way of looking at the world. She finds herself questioning her past, present, and future - not to mention her sanity.

At the hospital, her family is relieved that she's alive but they still find it difficult to deal with their daughter's erratic behavior. Her mother tries to ignore her and make plans for the future, while her father encourages her to take things slow and recover.

As the day of the accident plays out in Alma's mind, she begins to see strange visions. In one, her dead father appears to her and starts a conversation with her. In another, she falls through the floor and into a hallway that seems to go on forever. Alma becomes increasingly convinced that she's somehow stuck in a time loop.

The Crash sets the scene for the rest of the season, introducing us to the characters and giving us a taste of the show's unique style. It's a mind-blowing blend of live-action and rotoscoped animation that manages to be both dreamlike and hard-hitting.

The show's main focus is on Alma and her struggle to figure out what's happening to her. She's a complex character that's both hard to like and impossible to ignore. Her nihilistic outlook on life is both refreshing and deeply concerning, especially as she starts to unravel the mystery of her accident.

The Crash is a fantastic entry point into Undone, with enough intrigue and drama to keep you hooked until the very end. The show's unique style and powerful storytelling make it one of the most exciting new shows on TV, and it's sure to keep you guessing until the very end.
