Bojack is great but the huge praise it gets makes me think there's something I'm missing.
The Good Place Season 2 started today. I'm really glad I binged Season 1. Such a good show. Love what they're doing this season.
Finished Bojack last night. I wanted to find what I posted about it before. It's funny that I posted about Bojack and The Good Place at the same time. I think if I had finished Bojack before finishing The Good Place, some parts of the stretch run would have worked more for me. Bojack really takes advantage of the Netflix format, but I really could have used a "Previously on Bojack Horseman" in the last few episodes. I had completely forgotten two of the past characters who were featured near the end. And I forgot a lot of the details around Sarah Lynn's death to the point that some of them seem like retcons. I want to hope that the Hollyhock plotline was a product of the actress' availability or something. Otherwise, man. That's just a gut punch.
RSF gets at what I was saying. I think if you have dealt with some of the issues characters in the show deal with or are close to people who have, it resonates much more.
I'm more like Mr. Peanutbutter than anybody else in the show.
I thought Diane's last monologue captured the experience of going from your 20s to your 30s extremely well. I really liked what they did with her and Mr. Peanutbutter this season. And Amy Sedaris should get some awards for Princess Caroline. She's one of my favorite animated characters of all time. She really carried the show for long stretches of the last two seasons. I don't see myself in Bojack the way some might. But I definitely see aspects of myself in Mr. Peanutbutter, Princess Caroline, and Diane.
