"Carol & the End of the World" blew me away. It’s a phenomenal animated masterpiece that blends humor, artistry, and profound storytelling. Delivering some of the finest animation, the series is consistently hilarious, with a unique artistic quality that really captivated me. I feel that it also skillfully imparted a few valuable messages which made me feel like I wasn’t just wasting time watching telly. I also think the soundtrack should also be notes, it was brilliant and very much enhanced the narrative (coming from someone who studies film music composition at uni!). The characters are all unique and feel quite realistic and like real normal people, embodying genuine human qualities. The show presents an affirming take on the apocalypse, where the impending end of the world serves as a backdrop for Carol's journey of self-discovery. The voice acting is great and Martha Kelly truly brings Carol to life with an abashed yet resolute tone, making her a brilliantly ordinary yet compelling character.This Netflix gem is very much thanks to the creativity of creator Dan Guterman and the collaborative brilliance of the production team. Fantastic watch.
