    Wanted to like it but the material was soooo bad, so predictable. "I didn't say I don't want to have a baby with you." Cutaway to scene where he runs away from a baby and says "I don't want to have a baby with her." Didn't see that coming. Hilarious. Says he'll have pages for his book in 1 week; fast forward 1 week, the guy he made that promise to is calling him and he forgot about theWanted to like it but the material was soooo bad, so predictable.

    That's every single joke. I love Futurama, South Park, seasons 1-3 of Family Guy, Simpsons - but this was such a bad attempt at what it wants to be that I had to make an account and save the world by writing this. You're welcome.    … Expand

    The transition from dramedy to a drama is complete. The new goal is to win Emmy's and awards instead of being a good show. The eulogy episode and the Vietnam episode might be the two worst episodes in Bojack history, yet those two episodes will probably win them the most awards. So it goes...

    The show deals a lot with depression and everyone seems to be buckling under the weight of their own brand of sadness in season 5. Diane keeps forcing characters to become self-effacing to their horrible characteristics instead of from a unique angle. I wish it was as fun as it used to be but I guess you can only keep up that kind of satire and depravity before you feel like you shouldThe show deals a lot with depression and everyone seems to be buckling under the weight of their own brand of sadness in season 5.

    In season five, BoJack Horseman brings all of that character development down around its ears, in a stretch of episodes that represents the most precise dissection of BoJack Horseman yet--and perhaps the first truly sustained artistic response to the #MeToo movement.

    Philbert serves as a vehicle for BoJack’s ambitious meta-critique of how Hollywood consistently glorifies, humanizes, enables, and forgives bad men—fictional or otherwise. This critique operates on a few different levels, and only grows more complex as the season wears on.

    This visually arresting series becomes an illustrated stage production for a while, and amazingly, it works. It’s a terrific working-through of grief, particularly survivors’ realizations that they’re never going to get closure on all the issues that gnawed at the relationship between themselves and the deceased back when they were both alive and could’ve talked to each other. ... Either way, it’s all part of the larger, Mad Men–styled disconnect between intelligence and wisdom that BoJack portrays so well.
