I think it took full advantage of animation as a medium—it might have not have worked as well in live action.

this show reminds me a bit like Buffy in that the name, genre, and conceit of the show immediately tuned out people off and completely missed one of the great shows in television history as a result. This was a great TV show. Among other things, it was one of the best depictions of depression I’ve seen in any media. I…

Diane’s arc parallels Charlotte’s, who just realized a lot earlier that Hollywood wasn’t going to do anything good for her.

This
Sarah Lynn bore the consequences of BoJack on his lows but they never spent any significant or meaningful time together. She was just someone to get high out of his gourde with.

Nope. Bojack rarely “tried” with Sarah Lynn. She was the one he hung out with when he wasn’t interested in trying.

Years ago, Mara Wilson talked about her experience as a child actor, and she mentioned people asked her often what she’d tell someone like Lindsay Lohan if given the chance. She felt Lindsay clearly didn’t enjoy acting anymore and recommended she leave Hollywood to help maintain her sanity and sobriety. Problem is…

This touches on why PC and Judah make sense to me: theirs is a relationship built on profound respect and understanding. Judah is empathetic and attuned to PC’s needs, PC knows that she can trust him and doesn’t have to worry about compromising her other priorities for the sake of their relationship - something she…

Guy is the definition of “good enough” and paradoxically, that’s what Diane needs, because she’s always sabotaged herself before by striving for just slightly more than what she already had.  She’s learned to settle just a tiny bit, and it works.

She was already dating Judah when Bojack went to prison and he’s been in there a year, so they’ve had time.  And Judah isn’t indecisive.

“No one in the series has born the weight of BoJack trying and failing to be better than Diane.”

A skunk on the top bunk 

Although I thought Princess Carolyne and Ralph made a cute couple, I could see that she was just too high energy for him and, while Ralph was patient and understanding with her work schedule, ultimately, PC knew that her way of life was incompatible with Ralph’s and she would eventually, out of guilt or sense of…

I finished over the weekend, and I just want to write a couple of quick points:

I wish BoJack hadn’t relapsed and crashed. They have done that so many times already, and I would have preferred a final eight episodes that were just about the struggle of staying better even after realizing that sobriety didn’t fix everything. But there was nothing wrong with this ending*, and it was done as well as…

Yep, I think it ended at the perfect time. Shows that go on too long end up either becoming repetitive and boring, or jumping the shark and losing their path completely. Bojack did neither, and while Season 6 arguably should have been stretched into two, it’s about as close to perfect as it can be.

Very few shows have been able to articulate mental illness and addiction the way this show has. It addressed a ton of other issues as well, sometimes clunky but it never felt condescending. And not many shows have ever delivered the amount of puns and running gags so completely silly yet not betraying the messages of…

Overall, I think it was a fitting end and Princess Carolyne deserved a win more than anyone.

I saw the PC thing as “We’ll be friends (in some capacity) but I don’t want to have a professional relationship with you” cause being his agent entangled her with his bullshit for way too long.

That’s a super cynical way of reading the ending. He’ll never see Diane again, but he’ll definitely be in some part of the other three’s lives, just not the same way as it was before. He cannot rely on them to save him anymore. He has to save himself.

They did. This entire season was his rock bottom, and this time he faced the consequences. Not just emotionally either. He really did lose everything this time-his reputation, almost all of his relationships, his house, and his freedom. Nor did he do something shocking (TM) in the penultimate.
