When “BoJack Horseman” first hit the scene on Netflix in 2014, the adult animation psychological comedy-drama opened to mixed reviews. However, from the midway point of Season 1 all the way to the Season 6 series finale, the show’s legacy cemented itself among greatness. 

It is impossible to express what “BoJack Horseman” can mean to people without discussing the kinds of people who find themselves drawn to this show. “BoJack” is a show that offers us a mirror to reflect our worst selves. It gives us the opportunity to confront some of humankind’s ugliest aspects and forces us to confront the fact that some things can never be forgiven. “BoJack” lets us see the worst of ourselves, either in the dysfunctional horse who can’t help but make things worse, the high-functioning cat who poured everything into a career that gives her nothing in return or the human woman who wrestles with a very real depiction of depression. The show that sold itself in the first season as a goofy little cartoon featuring a washed-up horse became a place for people to realize that they aren’t alone – that Hollywood stars and celebrities can be just like us, even when that’s a bad thing.

The first half of the final season of “BoJack Horseman” premiered on Friday, Oct. 25. It picked up where it left off, with our washed-up sitcom star protagonist checking himself into rehab and his relationships falling apart.

“Creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg has proven once again that he can balance crippling depression and comedic antics with near flawlessness.”
