I’m just going to say it: Season 2 was the best season of this show. People talk about how stupid it is but let’s be real, in retrospect all the Marvel TV show seasons were stupid - season 2's saving grace was that it moved so fast and had so much plot that you didn’t have much of an opportunity to stop and think…

I strongly agree, the “no easy answers” thing is basically a handwave to justify how massive tonally unsustainable both the story and Bojack as a character are - How horrified can I really get at Bojack’s abuse if I know that Stefani for example, murdering her own workers is also real but basically a background gag?

I’ve been following the whole season over the past few weeks and I think we might just be forced to conclude that this whole thing is going down due to shoddy writing and a predilection for “cool” and “creative” set-pieces that don’t mean much on a thematic and story level. Not to invoke authorial intent too much but…

Agree with the consensus; aimed for a big statement episode and mostly failed. Didn’t like the unrelenting nastiness of Bojack’s B-Story either: even when considering the previous abuse he’d suffered, it seemed crazy to me that he would go into that intricate of a plan to spite his mother when she was so obviously…

Really didn’t like this episode precisely because I felt it wasn’t doing anything to sell Bojack had changed. The apology at the end is such an incredibly small pay-off for how terrible he’d been for most of the episode that I actually had my hands up in the air asking myself if I could even buy what he was saying now.

I wasn’t quite as blown away by this episode, if only because the sheer unrelenting emotional trauma Bojack faces helped me accept right away that nothing happy was going to come out of either storyline (that and the “Half a mind” line struck me as pretty cheesy), but it was a nice self-contained(?) episode that shed…

Great premiere episode, really good way to settle into the season. I’m interested in seeing the show push the limits of Peanutbutter’s likability and sense of entitlement with the governorship run, but god please don’t tell me he ends up being some kind of Trump analogue in this seasonal arc - both because it’d be so…
