The show relies so heavily on the format of flash back gags, it hardly feels original at all when it tries to deliver a joke. Sometimes the jokes don't know when to stop. It's like when a friend keeps adding on to a bad joke to recover, but never does cause you keep waiting for it to. There's no cane to pull the jokes off the stage. The cane never came.

    The only original aspect of the show is the concept, which actually is the show's only redeeming quality. Unfortunately there's only so much a good idea for a story can do if it bombs the genre it's in. Maybe they should just go for a drama. I mean Netflix is already good at those.    … Expand

    I was sceptical. I hadn´t heard of the show, but I had a moment of boredom, and decided to give it a shot. I was glad I did. This has quickly become my favourite show of the year. I for one can´t fathom the critics review of this show.

    The first episode wasn't very good. Reminded me of Family Guy. Seemed like the same formula, but I continued watching because Arnett/Paul. The show really developed throughout the season. Very funny and relatively serious at points.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you've logged into Netflix this past week or so, you may have noticed there's a new animated show that looks like the facebook photos from that one weird friend of yours that bought and wears a horse head mask... and the show is called "BoJack Horseman."

    Then you start watching. And you hear some familiar voices, Will Arnett's Marlboro Country voice brings the titular character of "BoJack" to life. He's the perfect person for the character. Bojack has all the best and worst features of Arnett's catalog of characters. But there's much much more to him than just "G.O.B." in Horseface.

    Next we meet Todd, the Kato Kaelin of show. He's just some guy that sleeps on BoJack's couch, subtly voiced by Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul, the character seems like a throw away sidekick. "Princess Carolyn" portrayed by Amy Sedaris is BoJack's off again on again lover / agent, and his best frenemy "Mr Peanut Butter" played by Paul F. Thompkins and Alison Brie as "Diane" rounds out the main cast, with additional voices from Patton Oswalt and several others from the Alt comedy world as reoccurring roles.

    BoJack Horseman lives large in his swanky pad in the Hollywoo(d) Hills, that has a great view of the Hollywoo(d) sign, in a way that seems fairly unlikely if you're familiar with Los Angeles actual geography (as with the view from Princess Carolyn's office view of the Malibu coast, when the building is the middle of the city around Mid-Wilshire). BoJack was the star of network sitcom "Horsin' Around," with a fairly trite premise, a bachelor winds up having to raise several random children. Which not-coincidentally happens to be the same premise of his friend's show "Mr Peanut Butter's House"only he's raising twin girls. Oh, Network TV... how the 90s were such simpler times. But now he's burned most of the bridges in town, he's gotten a bit fat, has a wee bit of a drinking problem and he's a few... months behind in his autobiography and has burned through his advance, so he hires a ghost writer, "Diane" (Alison Brie) to put his life on the page.

    The Los Angeles of "BoJack Horseman" is similar to the New York of "Ugly Americans" as are the art styles, where anthropomorphic animals live and work side by side with normal humans, only no one makes any big deal about it. BoJack isn't a guy with a horsehead mask, he's a horse that walks on two legs, and has a KanYe West level ego. The absurdity is nonchalant, and you quickly get past how there's almost more animal people than people people. Los Angeles is a melting pot.

    Where the show gets you, after it establishes the characters, is how real it is. Yes, there is the occasional Family Guy-esque cutaway for an odd joke or sight gag, but at its heart, it's Louie meets Entourage in the best way possible. You see the the day-to-day of Hollywood, and it's also character driven. BoJack starts to fall in love with his biographer, Diane, and doesn't understand that he's not actually in love with her as the person. she's merely a cypher for everyone else's ego. She's from Boston, and in an episode she takes BoJack home with her to visit her family to find her sports obsessed brothers just put icepacks on their recently deceased father, in his chair on the other side of the living room, because they were too busy watching a tape of a Baseball game from '86, to actually do something. Everything falls onto Diane's shoulders, at home in Boston, with BoJack as well as her boyfriend, Mr Peanut Butter, who marries her, because he thinks that what she wants, and we follow several episodes of BoJack attempting to woo her, because he feels like he's in love with her because she listens to him.

    Towards the end of the season, they set the jokes to the backburner and we get to delve deeper into BoJack's past, he gets a call from his friend who announces he has cancer, and BoJack has to go to Malibu to visit, but doesn't want to as its been twenty years since they last saw eachother and it hadn't ended well. The latter part of the season gets down right poignant when BoJack is forced to deal with his mortality and goes on a drug fueled bender after disapproving of the manuscript Diane submitted to his publisher, claiming he can write a better book by the weekend, but he ends up accepting.

    The show also plays around with words quite a bit, like when BoJack gets into PR war with a Navy SEAL who is actually a Seal, and when BoJack's agent gets him a job for an Herbal German Bourbon commercial, word play worthy of Arrested Development. Despite the show's rocky first few episodes, as the series progresses it gets better and better, delving into heart of the fickle mistress that is fame. BoJack Horseman is a helluva show. It would have been right at home on adultswim, or possibly FXX but with NetFlix, you're able to binge the whole 12 episode run over a day or so, which you'll be glad you did.    … Expand

    The characters have depth and will get you thinking about some of the stupid things you do in life.

    The show certainly improves with successive episodes but a lot of that is to do with the way that the farce is allowed to play out throughout the season (rather than being contained in any specific episode - again, like Archer). However, what makes it feel special is its commitment to depicting real life in all of its absurd and upsetting glory.

    TVs full of cynical and often poignant parodies/critiques of showbiz and American Narcisism - albeit in the lighthearted way that Arrested Dev, 30Rock and Always Sunny all are. Personally, I think that BoJack offers the genre a hilarious and heavy-hearted version of the same and a much needed antidote to a lot of the underinteligent and storyless crap that people seem to love so much.

    Also, it does indeed have an awesome cast and some great voice work.    … Expand

Whereas Family guy uses flashbacks as a poorly placed joke with no significance, BoJack's flashbacks give you a glimpse into his mind and where it all began as well as where it all went wrong.

Well, it further goes in to some controversial topics, and brings up that sometimes your opinion might be right, but in the end sometimes what's right isn't what's considered correct.

It is, but it also has an extreme layer of depth like none I've ever seen in an adult cartoon show. Though crude, it's humor never reaches the levels of a Seth Mcfarlane cartoon, Bojack shows restraint for the crude jokes, but also has a sense to treat characters like characters who have arcs and issues of their own. Bojack is a literal deconstruction of the "Jerk with a Heart of Gold" trope, being a washed up 90s actor trying to rise back again, all while coming to terms with his past actions and how he ended up a sad person in what was suppose to be a life of luxury. There is some powerful stuff in this show that no other animated sitcom dare not attempt(much like Rick and Morty). The laughs come from getting to know these characters rather than them telling a joke, and while it really comes down to taste, the laughs I had were great. To explain the themes in BoJack Horseman is to undermine the performances of the actors, because you can't understand or appreciate those themes by having someone told in a review, it must be watched.

It's characters all feel like real people at the end of the episode despite the absurdities of their personalities, like the fact that the majority of them are talking animals, that the writers include for the humor.

    "BoJack Horseman" is just an average, lonely guy who just wants people to love him but doesn't know how to get them to. He's extremely flawed and because of that completely relatable. As the show progresses and as you get to know him, you want to see him find the happiness he's struggling so hard to find. It asks the question of how can he and will he achieve this happiness? And it doesn't have the answer.

    It paints a beautiful, bleak, and painful look at look at life, while simultaneously showing us a hilarious and over-the-top look at "Hollywood." The outrageous situations and goofy characters keep the laughs coming even when things get dark. However the humor isn't going to be for everyone. It did come from ShadowMachine after all, whose work includes the divisive "TripTank."

    Still I feel that there's a little something here for everyone, whether it be outrageous humor or the more profound moments. I for one can't wait for some more episodes. My total score is a near-perfect score of 9.9/10.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Bojack Horseman starts as a comical look into a former celebrities life and how he is dealing with it. We find out early on he is supposed to be writing about a book about his life, but as his attitude will predict, he's not doing it. After he tries and fails to get get Bojack writing his book, the publisher of Penguin(who is a literal penguin) decides to get Bojack a ghost writer- who coincidentally wrote the book on Secretariat, Bojack's hero. It's a simple concept but it's presented in a clever and often comical way. If you are a fan of shows like Community, Archer, or even just animated shows that poke fun at celebrities and life, this show is yours to watch. I highly recommend watching all 12 episodes.… Expand

    I went into this series expecting very little, only to find something unexpectedly hilarious. Hilarious, and sometimes quite deep, too. BoJack Horseman is one of those rare series that mixes complete irreverence with the occasional deep meaningful insight. It's a hard mix to pull off, but the show does it quite well.

Hilarious, and sometimes quite deep, too. BoJack Horseman is one of those rare series that mixes complete irreverence with the occasional deep meaningful insight. It's a hard mix to pull off, but the show does it quite well.

    Now I won't lie, this isn't the firecracker joke-every-minute type of series. Sometimes it takes a little bit of time to set up the humor, but the payoff is definitely worth it. The first episode in particular took about 10 minutes to really get fully into gear, but once it had established the setting and the setup it got very funny very fast. The jokes are rather funny, but more than that they're sometimes bitingly funny and dark. If that's your kind of humor, this show will deliver, especially since so few shows seem to have that kind of humor.

    Another thing BoJack does which few others do is maintain continuity, and usually does so for maximum comedic effect. What would normally be a dumb throw-away joke in another series becomes something that pops up in later episodes, repeatedly in many cases. It allows the show to establish several running jokes, most that only get funnier as they go on.

    Probably the biggest surprise for me though were the number of moments when the show got "deep", for lack of a better term. Insightful, meaningful moments... and most of the time still funny as well. The show's not afraid to have dramatic moments (nothing too downer though), and the contrast often makes the humor that much better.

    Overall, BoJack Horseman took me by surprise in the best of ways. It is without a doubt one of the funniest animated shows that I've ever watched. There are some funnier shows out there at the moment, but that doesn't make this one any less outstanding. If you like dark, sometimes bleak, often biting humor then you should watch this show.    … Expand

    This is a great show! Continuity, attention to detail, pathos. Little lines of dialogue that seem unimportant come back later; it's extremely self-referential and I think there is something to be gained from repeat viewings. It starts slow but once it finds its footing it is a really incredible piece of work.

    The hilarity of this show is spawned from the shear genius of the details it provides played perfectly by a carefully and most intelligently crafted cast. When not over thought, it has a "suck you in" factor like no other.

    There are so many background jokes and one-liners and silly animals that the show's emotional depth caught me by surprise.

    Like some of television’s more out-there animated shows, this one is hard to describe beyond broad outlines, because it’s so odd, a combination of droll and naughty that seems improbable but works deliciously.

    A strange and somewhat delightful animated comedy.
