One thing I love about the show is that they only say "fuck" once per season and it's always signaling someone important leaving Bojack's life.

In season 1 it is Herb telling BoJack to "Get the FUCK out of my house."

2 is Charlotte telling him "If I see you again I will FUCKING kill you."

3 is Todd and his "it's you" speech, with "Fuck, man. I don't know what to say." I love how low-key and resigned that one is compared to the others.

What's really funny is to preserve the Integrity of this rule they broke up Diane's cursing when she found out that she was pregnant into "Motherfu-" and "Ker!" Between episodes

Yeah, and using it so little gave the word so much power.

S2's use gave me chills.

Also I'm p sure it's used both in the middle and at the end of S3.

Because we're all assholes that want to be relatable? I cried so much from

One of the episodes I was so impressed by was the underwater episode.

They managed to pull off all that emotion with nearly no intelligible dialogue.

Yeah, everything about that episode felt clever and genuine to me. I hated the first season of this show but the second and third seasons are some masterclass material.

"I don't hate the troops! Just this one! And I don't even really hate him, I just disagree with him about the muffins!"

I still chuckle at that entire episode.

One of my favourite shows. Highly recommended.

Bojack is great, really all I can say about it.

Bojack is some top tier Netflix viewing

Bojack's a great show.

One thing I really like about it is how it takes a serious, serialized overaching story and combines it with a mix of sitcom style comedy a la It's Always Sunny and the absurdist, nonsensical comedy of something like Cow and Chicken (best characterized by the greatest BH character, Vince Adultman).

And it works! It's a weird mishmash of different styles, but it actually works somehow.

I recently went through all three seasons of this show. It pulls no punches when it comes to depression and existential dread and I love it for it.

 

[Joeku]

I'll bet Keith Olbermann fucking loves playing the news anchor on Bojack.

Well it's pretty much the best "TV" I've ever seen. The thing is I don't know how to sell it to anyone. The full gravity of the whole thing doesn't grip you until you've invested some time in it, so people willing to give it a try dismiss it as a silly cartoon show after the first 1-2 episodes.

Still has the best ending credits song of any show.

Amazing show too

It filled the Mad Men sized hole in my life. What a show.

BoJack is the only show that I get excited to listen to the music in both the outro and intro.

Almost every other intro for every other show annoys me after 1 season of seeing it over and over again.

Just tell people to sit down and watch the first season, and to stick with it. If they trust you enough, they'll do it.

I feel like I like it more than Rick and Morty.

Rick and Morty is more on the "comedy with sad drama bits" end of the spectrum and Bojack is more on the "sad drama with comedy bits" end. Though obviously they shift as they go on.
