Juat watched 1st episode and loved it! I did not expect the gf to be the agent haha & the ghostwriter to be with peanutbutter. It's just always on my suggested list so finally gave it a try.

I just hope safe to watch in public like no nudity etc? Cos I want to watch on my way to work for some lols!

I don't remember any nudity but it is animated anyway. It was on my suggested list forever too before I decided to check it out, and I'm so glad I did! Was not expecting it to be so funny yet also so bleak and sad. Even though he acts like a jerk I find myself rooting for Bojack to find happiness and peace. Mr Peanutbutter and Tom are so so funny. SPOILERS ---love the episode where Tom makes Disneyland and Mr Peanut butter hosts the game show. Also the episode where Bojack is underwater and there's no dialogue. Very impressive writing and soundtrack there. Every time Bojack fails or seems to subconsciously sabotage a good thing, it's so upsetting! But I still have hope for him!

I don't know a Tom yet..or Todd the one living at his place? Yeah I thought Peanutbutter will be like a villain but he seems okay. I just finished the episode where he bought the game for Todd to fail his space rock opera. Not sure if the receipt of Best Buy will resurface - NO Spoilers haha but mos prob will finish season 1 this week

And that dibs on the muffin LOL i mean...if I was the seal I would hide it inside the veggies not on top of it, or put it in a cart/basket with a bunch of stuff so people won't touch hehe

Sorry I meant Todd! I loved his space rock opera I'd totally go see it if it was real lol.

So far I am liking Princess Carolyn, sometimes I forget that they are animals so i laughed at the song on her phone when on hold: Jellicle Cats haha! And I'm surprised at how emotional this show can be as well like when PC's phone alarmed to greet her Happy 40th birthday after having a shitty day - making it successful - only to be sad again. And the story of Bojack and his ex best friend. Wasn't really touched with Diane's family story (like omg they're like the worst) but liked the letter at the end.

And LOL at the cow waitress who gave milk just like that haha! So many minor details like what the hell kinda funny

Anthro is a better word than animal as animals are feral 4 legged creatures, these anthros are evolved beings who are like mutants

Its very funny and I enjoy it for the most part. I'm surprised its not more popular.

I think it's a cult show that simply continues to grow in popularity. Several now-classic favorites were low-rated as first run -- perhaps Star Trek and Police Squad being the most famous examples. Thankfully it was on Netflix, because it wouldn't have even made it through season one on broadcast TV.

Just finished season 3 episode 5, "Love And/Or Marriage". Pretty good episode. Here's my review:

"But what is happiness? It's a moment before you need more happiness." - Don Draper, Mad Men

So, BoJack finally hit the big time. He's finally what he always wanted: a movie star. And yet, he's not happy. Instead, there's only the void, the loneliness.

This episode is all about the connections we have in our lives, the kind that BoJack tried to tell Kelsey Jannings about in the previous amazing episode, "Fish Out of Water". And honestly, after that artful masterpiece, it's really tough to top that one, but this episode is pretty decent regardless.

BoJack's moment of connection though was long gone - back when he had a chance to be happy with Charlotte in his youth, prior to the show's timeline - so all he could settle for is ensuring that other people don't repeat the same mistake with, once again, a self-loathing speech that coincidentally helped save the day:

"Settle. Because otherwise you're just gonna get older, and harder, and more alone. And you're gonna do everything you can to fill that hole, with friends, and your career, and meaningless sex, but the hole doesn't get filled. One day, you're gonna look around and you're going to realize that everybody loves you, but nobody likes you—And that is the loneliest feeling in the world."

It's almost cliched by this point how BoJack utilizes his own misery to better help others not stray the path that he's on, but I feel like it works, because that's probably the only way the self-destructive BoJack could be a "decent" fellow, in the form of decency that BoJack could muster. However, by the end of the episode, it's implied that BoJack's about to make another mistake again when he's alone with Emily before the camera cuts away... the same way the camera cut away from Don Draper at the end of Mad Men, season 5, as a lady asked a married Don if he's alone at the bar (with Megan shooting a commercial in the same building). What's text isn't shown, but we're all so familiar with the subtext of those scenes by now we know what probably happened.

Other connections shown in the episode are less cynical, but only so much. I feel like Todd's rejection of Emily was appropriate as I just don't see the chemistry between them at all. It all felt like a very one-sided crush from Emily, with Todd being too unorthodox for an orthodox relationship like Emily. It could be a misinterpretation on my part, and perhaps Todd was just a shy virgin that didn't know how to handle intimacy (especially since he seems to be regretting his decision back in the hotel room), but even so, Emily casually dismissed Todd's other zany ideas in the episode so that they could focus on his more normal and practical one. That just feels like a contradiction of vibes, and her more normal personality almost feels like she's dating someone with a child-like personality full of frivolous joviality, someone who would hop into a bin full of laundry pretending to be ghosts.

But opposites attract is still a valid rule in other parts of the episode, such as for Princess Carolyn when she gets into a trio of disastrous blind dates that ends with dating a mouse. However, it's that final seemingly unsuitable match that sparks a good connection for our cat as they both share laughter in their own misery of horrible dates. However, it's implied that Carolyn's work life will probably overshadow whatever connection she had with this surprise love interest. Whether she seizes that connection in the future as BoJack echoed is yet to be seen, but here's hoping.

And our final pair of opposites, Diane and Mr. Peanutbutter. After feeling out of place in a marriage counselling (hosted by the Oscar-winning Lorraine Bracco's "Dr. Janet", aka Tony Soprano's therapist), Diane yet again seeks validation elsewhere, doing drugs like a 40-something suffering midlife crisis, only to ultimately bounce back to Mr. Peanutbutter and seize the opportunity to tell him how much he means to her. Among the four pairings, Diane seems to be the only one who followed through with BoJack's advice accurately... at least until the final revelation that she's pregnant. Motherf-. Cut to black. From what was implied in "BoJack Kills", Diane seems to have an aversion to either children or motherhood, so this could very well mean storms are brewing ahead.
