It's kind of difficult to explain the show outside of what is hinted at in the trailer - Alma is seeing visions of her dead father, who is now teaching her how to time travel so that she can go back and try to prevent his death!! It's a trippy, sci-fi drama dealing with grief, trauma and mental illness, beautifully told using a rotoscoped animation style and featuring a great cast including Rosa Salazar and Bob Odenkirk. I absolutely loved it and really hope we get another season.

Sarah (7798 KP) rated The Bell Jar in Books
Mar 18, 2020
I wouldnt say Esther is a particularly endearing protagonist, there's a lot about her tale that doesn't make sense or seems a little lacking but I'm guessing this is because it's meant to represent her rather unhinged state of mind. It can get a little frustrating when things aren't explained properly, but for the most part the plot and story is very interesting and I struggled to put this down. It's well written without being pretentious, and it seems to be a very realistic tale about mental illness. The metaphor of the bell jar itself is a rather wonderful term despite the subject matter and one of the best metaphors I've ever come across in literature, as it's so true.
Overall this is a great classic and whilst it may seem a little dated, it's a really good study on mental health.
