This show ruined television for me. Any other show and all I can think is _Why am I not watching BoJack instead?_ It took me about half a season to start enjoying it, but once it hit me, it hit me like a long, hard kick in the urethra. Really, this is the only TV show that regularly brings tears to my eyes. I've become completely obsessed with it.

>"No. I don't think so. It's the way it is, you know? Everything must come to an end, the drip finally stops."
>"...See you on the other side."
>"Oh Bojack, no. There is no other side. This is it."
I don't really know what to say about this show. _I'm gonna try, anyway._
This is one of the most hilarious and most depressing things ever. You want to call it a comedy, because of the witty and funny dialogue, but you can't, because each episode has one idea, one subtle but major lesson for the viewers. Maybe it's a brilliantly constructed campaign for feminism, maybe it is a brilliant look at dementia, or suicide, or drinking. There is always a constant though - it is brilliant.
One of the biggest standouts for this show is its characters. Just the five main characters are some of the best I've ever seen - Todd, Princess Carolyn, Mr Peanutbutter, Diane and of course, Bojack Horseman. All five are broken in some way (some much more in others), and it's so engaging to watch how these people deal with highs, lows, and how they change/don't change. Bojack Horseman himself is hands down the most interesting character I've ever seen in television - you can't agree with his actions, and you want to hate him for his worst moments, but you can't help but root for him and his ability to change. And he does - and doesn't.
While the first six episodes aren't that great, the rest of the series (and I mean the rest) is absolutely the best stuff out there. In my opinion, the seventh episode is where things really start, and if you watch the eighth episode, **The Telescope**, and you still don't like this series, then this probably isn't your thing.
If you are willing to watch through some of the most depressing, yet astounding, episodes ever, this is the show for you. I think that really everyone needs to see this, if they are willing.
(Also just a quick seasonal ranking - 4>6>5=3>2>>1)
One of the most profound, heartbreaking shows ever made about an alcoholic talking horse who used to be a 90s sitcom star. BoJack Horseman hits you hard with issues of trauma, addiction, and the idea that, yes, we are all human, yes, we all make mistakes, yes, we are products of the damage inflicted on us, but also, yes, what we do to ourselves and to others matters. It matters a lot.
Rewatching fully for the first time since it ended. I began watching BoJack in summer 2016 and followed religiously since then. I think BoJack Horseman has got to be a classic. Its humor is fine and ageless. The details are never-ending and so meticulously planned. This show is deep, so deep and touching, and every time an episode ends and the "Back in the 90s, I was in a very famous TV show" line plays, your heart sinks. I feel like no matter what I write, I cannot fully express how perfect this show is, or how much I love it.
That was amazing. I'll admit though, I dislike the artstyle and the Hollywood-lifestyle ugly vibe. It turned me off, cause I thought it was kinda ugly, like that show "Ugly Americans", some time ago held on Adult Swim, but it was a nice show. It was a show about a horse...man going forward toward a trainwreck, but you couldn't look away, cause it was somehow mesmerizing, reminded you of your own life abit and it had this deep relatable philosophical message on life, even if it was nihilistic, while making you care. The show Bojack Horseman is like the character itself, where it's ugly and you feel like you wanna look away, but you stay, cause you care about what's going to happen next and you think it just might have a good ending. That's why it's amazing. It's able to portray all that, while being mostly nihilistic and ugly, but it somehow kept my interest and made me care, all the way up to the end. I feel I could only recommend this show to certain people, but yeah, it's an amazing show.
way deeper than it might appear from its aesthetics. really makes you question a lot of things but often has an uplifting overall message. one of the goat animated series and a 10/10
One of my favourite shows of all the time, I keep returning to it now and then, it never gets boring. The characters are very good-written and have relatable struggles and insecurities, they're not perfect and some of their decision can make you hate them, but in the end you still remain sympathetic of them.
I started _Bojack Horseman__ about 4 years ago and stopped. At the time I wasn’t in an emotionally stable place in my life and didn’t have the strength to carry a show that reminded me of my mental issues.
Years later, the show came to an end and I finally brought myself to watch it, I have never been so happy about watching a show. Usually when you finish a show you will have mixed feelings and things need to settle in your mind. People have been calling me crazy, saying I’m exaggerating, but I am extremely serious when I say this: Bojack Horseman is my favorite TV show of all time.
Never have I experienced a show where I never felt disappointed or dissatisfied, not once. Bojack is a show that understands how to treat and feed their audience. It’s a show that doesn’t pander to us or treat us like idiots, it expects us to be emotionally prepared and to be smart, to understand its world and characters.
The seasons one up themselves, getting better and better. It understands how to defy expectations and keep the story telling fresh. You truly will never know what is about to come, the show will you keep you guessing and questioning how the story can ever continue.
A show is only as good and impactful as its characters are. The Bojack gang is one of my favorites ever. From Bojack to Princess Carolyn, these characters are incredibly lovable, flawed, yet it’s somehow impossible not to root for them, not to be invested in their stories.
All of their arcs come together beautifully at the end, I was so satisfied. Bojack is so flawed and broken, but his journey is one I was so invested in. I love him as a character. Todd is beautifully written. One could think he serves no purpose to the show, but he is the definition of comedic relief. He is the feel good character of the show, he is the character who will make you smile the most.
Princess Carolyn is such an interesting strong character that carries her own weight. I loved her and I loved all of her stories. Mr. Peanutbutter is so sweet and funny, showcasing those truly nice people around you. Finally, Dianne is such a flawed, heartbreaking character who wants to be happy. She wants to do good by everyone but her own insecurities get in the way, I love her.
The writing is beautiful, the music choices are great. This whole show made me feel like someone finally understood what depression, addiction and self destructive behavior actually looks like. It’s crazy that it had to come in the form of an animated horse, but it is what it is and I couldn’t love it more. Thank you so much to Netflix and the creator, this show was an incredible, beautiful journey. I am in love, might rewatch it for sure.
