Mr. Peanutbutter really is an important presence in this episode. Just having his love and positivity around is a necessary reminder that The Voice isn’t right. Every depressed person should have a friend like Mr. Peanutbutter.

It’s brutally honest, and reading the comments here, it seems like we can all relate to that voice, the one that tells us how we’re everything we’re afraid we are.

Like a lot of other, this episode hit hard. As I’ve said elsewhere on Kinja, Bojack Horseman and Pearl from Steven Universe are my spirit animals, and if you know what’s up with those two characters, you probably have, or at least recognize, depression. I’ve had issues with depression and, after intuiting it for…

BoJack: All I can think about is every shitty thing I’ve ever done and I think, “I don’t deserve that kind of love”

While still being in keeping with Bojack’s previous helpful acts, which are practically all attempts to fix something that was his fault in the first place.

Hey guys this episode really fucked me up but in a way that can be good? I think mostly because it shows (so accurately it hurts) just how intrusive and powerful depression & anxiety are. I think that will be helpful in showing others who don’t have it how it can be and try to bridge an understanding between the two.

I don’t know if I would go say it is my favorite but I think this is easily the most real and honest episode they have done. Even the non-bojack stuff every one is a pitch perfect version of their character, My girlfriend and I are still laughing at Todd’s confusion over the role of boats in an Ace wedding ceremony. I…

This is where my initial binge session stopped. For a good day or so.

BoJack managing to find the doll and bring it back is a small shift away from the “BoJack fucks up everything forever” plotting of previous seasons, and that BoJack himself was expecting. It’s still terrible he threw it in the first place, but he’s making effort.

Thank you for sharing.

Completely agree with you while there are episodes that left me much more emotional or stunned at what has happened, mild spoiler but episode 11 could very well be the most devastating this show has produced, this is the episode I just connected with most because of how real and accurate it felt to have depression.

It’s strange how you can be waiting for something and not know you’re waiting on it. Sitting and watching this with my girlfriend, she turned to me and asked if this is what it was like for me all the time. It was such a weird question, because I’ve struggled with depression and anxiety for such a long time that it…
