    Probably will keep watching Bojack but it's not impressing as much as I maybe thought it would. Like I think sometimes the jokes don't land for me and whilst I do enjoy the dramatic elements of it they're not quite good enough to mke up for the comedy. It's the sort of show where I wanna like it more than I actually like it. Strange. Well, I shall see how future seasons go.

    Peak television. Finally understanding itself the show seeks to broaden it's emotional net allowing for some of the more outstanding moments of animation and drama to come together. Voice acting here is out of this world. Really phenomenal show.

    Entré en esta serie esperando muy poco, solo para encontrar algo inesperadamente divertido. Hilarante y, a veces, bastante profundo también. BoJack Horseman es una de esas raras series que mezcla la total irreverencia con la ocasional visión profunda y significativa. Es una combinació

    BoJack Horseman is never quite as funny as the absolute top tier of animated comedies but it has its fair share of funny moments and, thanks to its ongoing storylines, gives a surprisingly deep look at a group of people/animals living in Hollywoo(d). With two 12 episode seasons now available on Netflix BoJack comes highly recommended.

    Now that the creators established the world and it's characters, they know what they wanted to do. This season is very funny and dramatic, and they do everything about right.

    The second season has a notable difference for first. It was a watersherd in Bojack Horseman. Series got more dark, acid and showing us the characteristic drama that remains on show until nowadays, but you probably won't laugh as on 1st season, because humor was a little diluted here. Still worthwhile for sure.

    The second-season of Bojack Horseman adds a little more balance to the formula. The first is largely dedicated to humor that is even more gonzo, creative, and silly than that of the first season.

It isn't hard hitting or emotional as last season, where the show wasn't exactly concerned with being a happy one. We witnessed Bojack go to some dark, low places and we ended seeing him left there by the conclusion. While not a straight gut-punch to the heart, season 2 doesn't miss out on ay of the significance of it's message. Bojack's quest for happiness and self-redemption can still resonate with the average person, despite the character's Hollywood lifestyle.

    Bojack Horseman also serves as a look at the hollowness and depravity of fame and success. It's at times a straight up mockery of the lifestyle seemingly everybody wants to break into these days. It's the type of thing that sets the show apart from the rest, and opens up a lot of new doors for comedic possibilities. Almost of which is excellently utilized. The jokes are more diverse this time around and the shear number of them is astounding. Season 2 is just as hilarious as you remember it. Only now sometimes for different reasons.

    With such and emotion, there's really no reason to not make the return. It's something of a refinement of the formula. One that work's exceedingly well and got the show the critical respect it deserved the first time around.

    Season two kept every right decision on the last episodes of the first season and kept on track, there are some times like it feels like they are making time but, unlike the first episodes of season one, they are very rare.

    Bloody awesome, better than season 1 which is quite the opposite of shows carrying story-lines from subsequent seasons. BoJack is still a jackass know-it-all spewing a lot of "intelligent ignorant" BS. This is an awesome show, hope it stays around for a while!

    Each season throws its first half away on making its characters act like cartoonier versions of the cartoons they already are, vying desperately to make you laugh with the grace of Jimmy, the annoying 3rd grade class clown that you avoid at the grocery store because it’s just… so… uncomfortable.

Can’t he tell this forced laugh is killing you both? The second season is even guiltier of this than the first, though unexpectedly they wring more humor from the forced buffoonery than last time whilst amping said buffoonery. At least they appear more self-aware? Maybe Netflix puts all the interns on Bojack? Maybe the show’s writing is supposed to meta-textually convey the hubris and tragedy of its protagonist? Whatever. Buy some Camels and go watch it in bed. Just like last time they decide to turn it into a real show past the half-way mark and just like the amped buffoonery there is compensatorily amped desperation for Bojack to indulge in. You have to hand it to this show, it manages to succeed despite neglecting most of its better potentials for the sake of a weird push/pull uniquely its own. They should still fix that, but I know I’ll keep watching even if they don’t.… Expand

    Overall,this is definitely worth watching and this Show can do nothing but improve in the future as the Acting and Writing will continue to be top notch.BoJack and his wacky adventures will continue with or without you,so don't miss out on this new future classic and present day success.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With certain shows, you have what I like to call a "sacrifice bunt" season. Instead of developing the plot in a major way, setting the stage for the climax or message of the series, showrunners will develop a lot of the characters in various directions, which will provide the depth necessary for an extended run. However, the show runs the risk of losing focus. While BoJack Horseman maintained its mix of quips, satire, tension and existentialism from the previous season, it was too hard to find any of them. Between the Chickens episode, the one where they had to break into the Nixon library to shoot a scene for the Secretariat movie, an excess of new characters at the Vigor talent agency, and the many shows and relationships happening all at once, I couldn't follow it. I'm not sure what meaning was to be gleaned from J.D. Salinger's surprising reappearance and subsequent production of the show with the really long title. There was enough randomness to distract me from what made the show great. However, I don't think that the show, which could end as one of the most dramatic animated shows of all time, could have gone in any other direction. It would've been difficult to do another season as emotional as Season 1, then pivot to a Season 3 where the characters aren't as developed as they could be. Diane ran around in circles, BoJack made a genuine effort to improve his life, Todd found what he really needed, and even Princess Carolyn discovered self-respect.

    The trouble with this show is that it sets itself apart from every other animated show, in a medium that is still spreading its wings, but hasn't gained the kind of exposure it deserves and might be developing too rapidly for an audience that doesn't agree on it. Just as with Season 2, there are bound to be too many expectations of this show. Bob-Waksberg doesn't care, of course, but any focused audience member would be curious to see what turn BoJack Horseman takes next, as it could be anything. The multi-directional push that was Season 2 will ultimately serve as a blessing for a show with unlimited potential. Until then, we'll all wait patiently for more of the impact that made Season 1 so intriguing, praying the show, much like its titular horse, doesn't collapse under the weight of its own expectations.    … Expand

    I thought it would take a few episodes to look past a talking horse, talking cat, and a variety of non-human characters, but I was nearly immediately consumed by the excellent writing of this show. No other animated television feature comes close to the great writing of BoJack Horseman with the exception of The Simpsons. 10/10 with no asterisks!!!!

    The second season, much like the first, offers up a unique blend of absurdist comedy and self-pitying drama with funny and poignant moments sprinkled along the way. Most of its focus is drawn to what is essentially what is the counterpoint of the HBO show Entourage.

Most of its focus is drawn to what is essentially what is the counterpoint of the HBO show Entourage. While Entourage was all Hollywood glitz and glamour Bojack is all Hollywood moroseness and hollowness. Much like Entourage, Bojack is in truth an occasionally funny soap opera.

    I haven't found any of the character development to be terribly interesting or new, this is all ground that's been covered before and I've never cared much for to begin with (not being in Hollywood and already having developed my own cynicism around the culture it creates). And Bojack's narration of his own failings becomes more tedium than pathos, nearing but ultimately failing to register with anything that feels real. Again, not being in Hollywood I find it hard to sympathize with a character's search for happiness and meaning when (spoiler alert) they find out egotism, gluttony, drugs, and fame don't hold the answers (who'dve thunk?).

    Still, there are enough chuckle moments, fun side stories involving Todd or Mr. Peanut Butter (far and away my two favorite characters), animal jokes, great music (theme song and its variations are some of the best music to come out of any television recently), and interesting turns to keep me compelled and entertained through the episodes. I won't be sitting on the edge of my seat for Season 3, but when it comes around I'll shrug my shoulders, say what the hey, and check on everyone's favorite hopelessly lost can't seem to do anything right horse. Don't act like you don't know.    … Expand

    What started as a solid show ends on a low note that leaves me about in the same place I was with season 1. It was good, enjoyable, but not great. The creators seemed to choose something truly entertaining with likeable characters over the Hollywood cliche. I get that its a show about the Hollywood cliche, but I never found that premise to be that appealing.

    Despite never taking a liking to other animated shows, I fell in love with Bojack Horseman. The combination of superb voice acting, well written comedy and a frank look at depression, relationships and the idiocy of celebrity culture surprisingly makes this one of the most relatable TV shows around. Not one to be missed.

    Building upon an already-hilarious first season and adding in bucketloads of character development, the second season of Bojack Horseman not only provides an endless stream of clever humour, but some of the most intense and heartbreaking emotion you'll ever get from a talking animated horse...

    Did a rare thing by making a second season that improved upon the first! The voice acting is incredible. The animation is, like South Park before it, cheap and cheerful and utterly charming, and fits the content perfectly. The dry, sarcastic wit, almost belies its American roots, appealing strongly to this British audience.

    Absolutely essential viewing.

    So much of the BoJack DNA is tied up in BoJack's origin story as a '90s network sitcom star because the show itself is actively working against the concept that sitcoms represent the way stories should work; that there are easy answers for any of its characters. And that's what makes it feel so fundamentally true, at its core.
