Funniest episode of the season, not so much for the abortion jokes as the pitch-perfect trap rap parody of the title song, right down to the Future-soundalike in the chorus.

Surprised at the lukewarm reception for this one, I thought it was the first episode so far that actually had some very meaty, well-developed emotional issues for ALL the characters to sink their teeth into. Pretty much every storyline here was something great and Bojack managing to secure that 'happy ending' through…

Not quite the triumph I was told it would be (a bit lacking in emotional resonance) but I do feel this was a nice change of pace from the usual formula, even if it isn't an episode I would ever feel bound to return to.

Episodes like this are what convince me that this show hasn't yet reached the lofty heights a lot of people ascribe to it. I just find it difficult to relate to the characters as growing three-dimensional people when I don't know if those character traits are going to be sacrificed for the sake of a cheap gag. I mean,…

Oh no doubt, I trust that the show is building up to something and holding back some of its proverbial cards, I just wish these early episodes were more immediate.

A bit more successful than the premiere, and the parodies of 2007 were generally on point. I thought the structure of the episode was quite interesting too, consisting almost entirely of the lead-up to the failed show and leaving the aftermath in everyone's imagination.

This one was…. alright. It was a pretty by the numbers premiere in that it sketched out where each character was at right now without exactly tipping off where the story was headed. Todd and Peanutbutter's storylines were a bit of a bust, but everything Bojack-related was good stuff, particularly once he confesses to…

Yeah I'm not really seeing this lasting past its second season. So much of this show has been fruitless wheel-spinning really. There's no real focus to the show or any of its plot-lines, I'm not entirely sure why we're still following the dweeby intern and his forays into funk music for instance, or why the show is…

Seeing the massive debates here regarding the morality of Punisher VS Matt and the side the show wants us to take makes me want to remind everyone: it's a comic book show.

S1 V S2 is almost like the classic debate between a text that's more all-over-the-place but has bigger highlights and one that's more consistent but with a lower payoff on average. I definitely got the feeling that things were just breezing past this season, almost like the quest against Fisk in S1 was more…

I don't know about audience numbers, but critically and in terms of popular consciousness, you're right that BE was never quite as beloved or well-known as any of those three. When I say "success" I'm coming at that from a personal opinion in the sense that I think it definitely managed to flesh out a much more…

To be honest I think the only real compelling reason to watch this show is to gleefully see Richie self-destruct in his orgiastic monomaniacal drug binges as the commenter below me said. It's obvious by this point the show hasn't fleshed any of the ensemble cast out to be compelling by themselves, might as well enjoy…

All these sudden complaints confuse me because this was exactly what the show was like in the first season. People talk about the incongruency of Matt regaining his hearing so quickly but ignore that he'd get the asskicking of a lifetime in season 1 and recover perfectly after the next episode. Reyes as a character is…

The problem with this show isn't really that Richie is a massive piece of shit (I mean, it might be, depending on your opinion but Cannavale is such a high-energy actor the Richie scenes tend to be the show's best), it's more that after about 6 episodes there's still no clue as to what this show is actually doing.

Don't get all the negativity for this season so far, these first two episodes are a much more immediately promising and interesting start than the first season. The Punisher is pretty much the perfect antagonist at this point in the story.

He was a good foil to Nucky, for a lot of the reasons AHG pointed out. The raw, vulnerable beating heart to Nucky's rational, enigmatic brain, a little bit like Jesse and Walt from Breaking Bad in that sense. Plus audiences loved him because he was the classic underdog as far as the protagonists went: the sympathetic…

One of the most interesting theories I've heard for the downfall of the Simpsons is that the Frank Grimes episode should be considered the rightful end of the show because it takes the fucked-up world of Springfield to its logical extreme by actually having a perfectly normal, grounded character enter it and…

Maybe I'm missing a joke here but uh… you know he doesn't die in the first episode right? He actually becomes the major antagonist for the entirety of the show, he's just wounded in the pilot.

I still can't believe I'm hearing Kanye over an Arthur Russell sample, frankly.

There's way too much that's historically uninformed/wrong about this statement but I'll just point out the three most obvious flaws and logical inconsistencies for any readers at home:
