Ah, Bojack Horseman. Oddly enough, I feel a bit nostalgic for this show. When I was watching it, times were a lot simpler. Maybe not better so to speak, but I definitely had to worry about less than I do now. I’ve been procrastinating on this show quite a bit because honestly, it reminded me of stuff I wouldn’t like to remember. Now that I’m finally finished with the show, I would like to write a sort of...well, not a full fledged and structured review. I’m really not feeling up to one. It’s not burnout, it’s just life is a bit stressful right now and I don’t want to spend hours on a scorecard very few people will look at. I think Bojack is a big mixed bag filled with a ton of interesting qualities. It’s a surprisingly funny show that uses irony well, the plots are usually creative as well as the backstories, and I like the satire it can do in episodes like Hank After Dark. I’m more mixed on the characters. Most of them are just assholes for 4-5 seasons before finally changing, and this worked in the first season due to the show’s more comedic tone, and I will admit their development is interesting. However, it’s very boring watching flawed characters continue to be flawed, since the whole point of a flawed character in these types of shows is to realize and change their flaws. This is most prominent with the show’s main character, Bojack, who evades the consequences of his actions for 5 seasons, and whenever he does something bad it’s apparently not his fault. I think the show’s main problem is that it has so many grand ideas, but flounders on almost every single one of them because it doesn’t understand how its characters, conflicts, and plots are supposed to work. Again, I’m sorry if this doesn’t seem coherent, but to sum up Bojack, it would be a mixed bag of wasted potential that doesn't know what it wants to be.
