A move into a new home is a chance to get a fresh outlook on life, but in order to achieve that renewal, it can be necessary to look back at the past or in on oneself. That idea is at the heart of UnPacking, an anthology series that shares the experiences of characters who are entering new living spaces.
UnPacking, created by Oliver Mason, considers the idea of a move very loosely. One episode, for example, is about a tourist who finds that her vacation rental is not quite what she expected; another concerns a woman who must sort out a love triangle as she enters a new flat. No matter the characters in play, however, some of UnPacking's themes are universal. Its characters are often forced to make the best of a situation that may on the surface seem dicey.
Overall, UnPacking is technically exquisite, filled with fine camerawork and smart writing.

Set inside an animated game and billed as a “seated 360-degree viewing experience,” the opening of the 20-minute “Ctrl” is reminiscent of the sweeping views from the window of the Hogwarts Express in a “Harry Potter” film.
Much like the openings of those films, this grand introduction to the world of “Ctrl” percolates with possibility.
