Perfect response reaction.

Re the ending:

Spoiler

Don't fake me out again dammit, if Bojack is really gonna start turning a corner, make him commit to it this time. If he weasels out again, that season has to end with him dead.

Remember how Season 2 ended compared to Season 3 ending. You probably have your answer.

Gone through the whole season.

-Wow!

My heart couldn't take that much pain.

-Stephani is just adorable.

-I felt bad about

PC and her love life with Ralph. I was hoping it would last, but I knew it wouldn't.

-I was surprised of the

they didn't aim the F-bomb at him for once, but tossed by him in wanting to rip at her mom.

[Tinfoilhatsron]

Knew it. Knew Hollyhock's parent.

 

[Moonkid]

Half way through the first episode, going straight for the jugular with the CNN joke haha.

edit: Interesting to see they're gonna continue making the show more cinematic with more angles and such.

 

[blame space]

that's a terrible thing to say to a baby!

 

[Very Berry Sunday]

Bojack Horseman is one of my favorite TV shows of all time.

 

[Fancolors]

I watched the rest of the season. I maintain that Todd is this season's weakest link,

Spoiler

but I do appreciate how they handled his asexuality

Spoiler

I'm almost afraid of what season 5 might bring because I fear Bojack will screw things up yet again, or maybe this is finally his turning point. Please don't take this away from him

 

[Puruzi]

I feel like

Spoiler

Bojack might legit start to continue to get better while Diane and PB keep spiraling down and then something happens that makes Diane drag him back down again

 

[Deepwater]

Without any spoilers, I really really really hope they end the show like this. I thought the ending of season 3 was pretty satisfactory, but honestly I feel like that they left it in a good place.

I also don't know if I can take another season of gut wrenching bojack self destructivism

 

[rashbeep]

If I were to rate the seasons it'd be 1<2<4<3

But I love them all, I can't recall a show that has affected me on this level.

 

[Alcotholic]

Can someone please write down all the Princess Carolyn Courtney Portnoy jokes?

 

[Opto]

Every episode is punching me in the stomach but I keep going back.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

The season dropped right when I was feeling depressed.

It kinda feels right to watch the show in this state. After the first 8 episodes it has been an awesome emotional ride.

 

[Jeff6851]

This is the first season other than 1 that I didn't want to immediately start watching again. Not that I didn't like it, it was my favorite season but it was so exhausting to go through it. While the comedy was great there was so much heavy stuff early on that I was thrown off guard.

Sad that Eddie only had one episode, I liked him a lot.

 

[aBarreras]

Episode 9 ending broke me

they pulled a "symphony of illumination"

 

[ahoyhoy]

Episode 6 is such truth. Silent daily battles with yourself are exhausting and leave you with little time to think about others.

 

[Sunster]

loving the gun episode

 

[ForkNetwork]

I"ll watch it after finishing a college project, Im so close!

 

[99Luffy]

Without spoilers. Does this season have the 1-2 emotional episodes like the other seasons?

 

[Nairume]

Without spoilers. Does this season have the 1-2 emotional episodes like the other seasons?

At least one will probably leave you as an empty shell questioning your self worth and another is probably going to leave you emotionally destroyed and in tears.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Between this and Master of None today (LTTP) what a fucking number this has done on me. Today has been shit...I legitimately keep thinking about me and what I'm even doing. Not a good feeling.

 

[Mike M]

Episode 9's ending was some dirty pool : (

Speculation for the remaining episodes:

Spoiler

Beatrice keeps going on about the baby because Holly's mother visited her before putting Holly up for adoption, but Beatrice kept it from Bojack.

 

[sinxtanx]

shotgun binged all 12 episodes because I like my pain fast and hard

 

[salty_Josh]

Holy shit. These writers sure know how to tell you how shit someone's life is.

Spoiler

Bojack's grandma episode

really fucked me up. Even the way that dragonfly dude was left messed me up.

Spoiler

Bojack's mum fucked me up too

that episode was horrible. Literally the most difficult episode I've watched of this show.

Spoiler

Pc's

situation was fucked up too. Real stressful to see

Spoiler

her

go through that. Todd feels like he's got the same tone as all the characters did early in the first season. Even mr pb was dealing with some real shit

Spoiler

with his marriage.

 

[Astral Dog]

Horse with no name is beautiful &#128546;

though Episode 2 felt kinda forced 8dk, and Todd was ridiculous

 

[Corronchilejano]

I love this show. I will once again rewatch this season another 10-20 times until I know every line by memory.

 

[SliceSabre]

Princess' struggles were the highlight of this season for me.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Fuck episode 11 dude, fuck. It's the best penultimate episode besides Escape From LA.

 

[LotusHD]

Episode 8: Omg, racist

Spoiler

mice.

Or at least, it's highly suspect.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Episode 6 is brutal. It's the downer of the season. No one tell me it gets worse, because I know that it does.

 

[The Argus]

Watched the first 4 today. It's fun, but so far lacks the charm of the first three seasons, visual gags are at minimum, and something just feels foreign. Hoping it turns around soon.

 

[neoanarch]

Episode 11


Ohshit

 

[LotusHD]

I finally know the difference between

Spoiler

an agent and a manager.

God bless

 

[Mike M]

Man, I can't believe I binged this in a single day...

Overall, this season felt maybe more upbeat and optimistic than the previous three? It still played in the heartstrings, but Idunno, it felt more melancholy than soul-crushing.

It's how Bojak always seem to me. Anything more seems rather hyperbolic.

Another solid season though. Slightly slow start as usual,but strong finish as usual. Some laugh out loud moments. Good stuff. Ep 9 was the standout to me.

 

[A.J.]

Just finished it. I thought ti was a great season with episode 6 and 9 as immediate highlights.

To discuss a bit more about 9:

Spoiler

I thought Caroline's little speech at the end was the girl in the future playing up herself for the robot teacher, but then it hits you that it was all fake. I loved the turnaround on such a feel good premise into a hard hitting sadness coping techniques.

 

[LotusHD]

Episode 9 did not make me tear up. Not at all...

 

[Mike M]

It's how Bojak always seem to me. Anything more seems rather hyperbolic.

Idunno, soul-crushing is exactly the term I'd use to describe him pleading with Diane to tell him he's a good person, haunted by the laugh of a daughter from a life he realizes he could have had in Season 1.

Episodes 11 in seasons 2 and 3 might not rate that, but the fallout of his actions with Charlotte and Sarah-Lynn are certainly a whole lot heavier than simply melancholic.

 

[Alcotholic]

I haven't cried so much watching a show. Episode 11 really hits hard especially since I work in an industry related to the subject.

Soul crushing is a strong term. Maybe something I'd apply to a piece of media like, I dont know, Boys Don't Cry or Son of Saul, rather than Bojak.

I think it does the series a disservice tbh. I think it's much more balanced than that. It's everyday issues in a surreal setting - stuff that everybody deals with during their life. Much more relatable than 'soul-crushing' - drama rather than melodrama.

Obviously it's subjective, but still, I think it should be viewed in relation to other works.

 

[Neophant]

I'm only about 3 episodes in (I'm watching them with my gf when we get the chance) but I just can't believe how amazing this show is. I'll see you all after we finish, laugh, and cry throughout this season. Still by far my favourite show on Netflix.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Hollyhock, episode 10:

Spoiler

.... she's either crazy or dying, isn't she?

 

[LotusHD]

Episode 10... I just can't D:

 

[Haly]

The direction in episode 11 was incredible.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Man, that song in Episode 2, I just want to keep listening to it over and over.

 

[Sunster]

Diane, for the love of GOD break up with Mr. Peanut Butter already.

 

[LotusHD]

Episode 11 might be the best episode of the entire show. At the very least, it's clearly the standout episode of the season.

The direction in episode 11 was incredible.

Absolutely.
