The TVI Take

Two brothers are lost in the Unknown — a dreamlike American folk world. Patrick McHale's ten-episode miniseries is exceptional craft — the visual world draws on 19th-century American illustration and the atmosphere is genuinely unnerving.

Educational about American folk traditions and mortality. The finest short-form animated series Cartoon Network produced.
