The 'Schwatz Family'

You are about to read a review but not of another mainstream film, the kind that makes a minimum of half a billion dollars, because I have got style ;) and also because I saw The Schwatz Family. Is this the best series in the world or what?

Not so long ago (last year), right under our noses, a crazy cult series emerged on YouTube with… 2 episodes, and the third is coming.

This series has the potential that I have not seen in the Israeli landscape for a long time. Strong influences of 'Rick and Morty', gross performances like 'Ren and Stimpe' , a touch of 'Anima' and a great portion of ​​emotion.

I am talking about feelings and punctuality in the love for these amazing characters and family. I do not remember when I last came across a family on the screen that I feel so connected to after two short episodes. It is not something to take for granted in a genre with so much nonsense.

The creators are Asaf and Dean. And… I have nothing more to say about them.

Well now, this series is not perfect, it still needs some arrangements to fulfill its true potential. But hey there, it's a two-episode series that only two people make, so, show some respect. Compare to it, 'Rick and Morty' looked like 'La Linea'.

In the pilot episode, you'll see that groundwork is laid for the characters and their traits, which is amazing in my opinion but there is no story; you'll see two unrelated scenes which tell the stories about the father. In the second episode, you see something more mature, there is a cool story, which gives us a glimpse of the lovely dynamics of the family. The transition from the pilot without a story to a second episode with a dramatic structure shows how the creators of the series are developing and hopefully soon episode 3 is going to be a MASTERPIECE.

Now the only problem with the series is pacing. I know they are artists: writing, thinking, storyboarding, narrating, animating. However, it is not fast enough, my dear ones. I do not think they understand what they have. When you nail it, as they did, you go the extra mile. Leave your jobs, move back with mom and dad, make 14 episodes in a year, drink 100 cups of black coffee starting at 5 A.M. It is not a hobby. They should want to make a business from it.

If they take a chance, take a loan from the bank, leave the past behind, remove the mediocre way of thinking, increase the frequency of the outgoing chapters, maintain the same standards and will not sell themselves short. Pay attention! They should not sell themselves short! They will be the 'Ren and Stimpe' of Israel. They will sell it abroad, will be awarded prizes, make lots of money, people will see their advertisement.

The best of luck to Dean and Asaf.
