It’s
bizarre, unconventional, disturbing at times, and often downright
depressing. The entire series revolves
around talking animals living side by side with humans in an oversatirized,
animated version of Hollywood. Think
Entourage meets Family Guy, but instead of a happy ending, every episode
inevitably ends in tragedy. Netflix’s
BoJack Horseman brings a dimension to animated comedies that is unprecedented
on television.
The
lead, BoJack, played by Will Arnett, and his sidekick, Todd, played by Aaron
Paul, share with us their daily lives as former Hollywood star and freeloading
roommate. Amy Sedaris (Princess Carolyn)
and Alison Brie (Diane) also play key roles in this underratedly talented cast.
But,
this isn’t a review. I don’t want to
spoil the show for people who haven’t watched it yet. I also must admit that many people have found
BoJack to be uninteresting and not worth their time. That’s because it’s not the mindless
time-killer that Family Guy has become.
This series must be watched from the beginning, in order, to truly
appreciate the intricate society and character development that creator Raphael
Bob-Waksberg has so delicately employed.
Nevertheless,
I watched the entire first season in one day.
The second season just came out, so now both are available in their
entirety on Netflix. You could watch the
show in its entirety in less than 12 hours.
I’d highly recommend starting with season 1, episode 1. Without further ado, enjoy, and let me know
what you think.
