What do you think of it, years later?
I couldn't finish it, it just seemed like it dragged. With some tighter editing I think I would have finished it but I have no attention span.
Bojack Horseman seems like it was the quintessential millenial show

I thought it was a good idea to make him say normal words instead of horse noises. It made him more relatable to me, a human guy

I actually enjoyed it for a couple of seasons but I couldn't finish it. Basically every episode just turned into: "Oh no, Bojack is so self-destructive and has made bad decisions and his life is so sad as a result and he'll never recover and everything sucks and is bad and sad " and then presented that idea in various slightly amusing ways..
Maybe it got better at some point later on but it wasn't good enough to keep pushing through

Not really, but it was a great premise. There were still some great episodes here and there. His mom's funeral was a great scene on the serious side.

A lot of people here are so scared of being labeled redditors that they won't admit when they enjoy something mainstream. It was a good show and that was a cool episode.

I'm disappointed
there 
wasn't a scene 
where 
the deer mom tracks 
him down and is going 
to kill him and Bojack tells her “Okay, I understand you're rightfully mad and want to kill me, but think 
about this: everyone 
saw you coming here, so they'll know you killed 
me. There's an open bottle 
of Jack Daniels on that table 
and a bunch of sleeping 
pills 
in the drawer. I'm going 
to get take a shower 
and drink 
that bottle 
no matter 
what. If you want to kill me you can do it and no one will ever know. It's your decision.” He goes and showers and she's gone when he comes back. He pours the whiskey in a glass 
and drinks it. The show ends with him sitting 
on the couch 
being miserable 
but alive.

I'm disappointed there wasn't a scene where the deer mom tracks him down and he laughs in her face and says "b-word your whore daughter tried to frick me because I'm rich and famous and then I didn't frick her, get lost you have nothing on me" and then she walks outside and gets hit by a truck

The funny parts were good, but the creators were addicted to the validation and awards they got for the dumb sad shit. Sad melodrama is EASY to write, comedy is hard, but melodrama gets you awards. Over time the show became more and more insufferable as a result.
One big issue was how obviously the writers were projecting their ex boyfriends onto Bojack. Everything he does is bad, he can never have growth, nothing good can ever happen to him. Every new season some absurd bullshit has to happen to remind you you HAVE to hate Bojack and if you like him at all or empathise with him you are wrong and chud and bad. Particularly funny because Diane is one of the worst people in the show but the writers seem oblivious to it (because she's a self-insert) and she never gets the aggressive hate they pile onto Bojack
Mr PB was hot and I'd frick him. I'd frick Bojack too, he's the sort of broken chud I'm horny for

I liked that he was just a shitty person and couldn't get out of his own way. Then the ending left it up to "maybe he'll change but probably not". Most stories end with "and then everything was good forever" so it's a cool change.
But if I hear some limp-wrist regurgitate the red flags line one more time, I'm going to walk into traffic.

I think it's important to the show that they never improve or learn anything. It's just hard to run a sitcom that long where it's suppose to be trapped in time when they're all starting to look a bit ghoulish IRL.

I liked it for what it's worth. I did finish it and thought the last season was really nice, the last two episodes had really good character stuff.
It did have me punching air every time a topical actor/producer comparison was the whole joke or whenever they had le randum alliteration that goes on for a whole minute. Like it happened every time I was slightly invested in a scene lol

It's geniunely hilarious but the whiny "I hate myself everything sucks" mentality of the writers bleeds through waaaaaaay too much, even for a show about a funny depressed alcoholic. Also Diane ( the ghostwriter) is a legit terrible character yet I don't think the writers intended that.

you're meant to side with her in her relationship but what actually happens with mr pb is
she starts fricking him because he's hot and rich
she sponges off his money to pay for her to frick around with her fake career, uses his connections to get clients
she deliberately tries to frick his career for attention despite him being the only breadwinner
she cheats on him
she is toxic, cruel, bullying and aggressive to him at every moment of their life
he constantly tries to show her he loves her and she attacks him for it
she lies to him and pretends to be in africa while living at her side piece's house (also a rich hollywood guy she can sponge off)
they finally break up when he tries to give her the library she TOLD HIM SHE ALWAYS WANTED, which is apparently some sort of toxic or evil thing to do
also we're meant to hate her family but they were completely right about her, she was an entitled, stuck-up b-word who clearly had no love or respect for them

It started off really nicely and then degraded. Balance between comedy and drama is difficult enough (unless you're Scrubs and the setting itself can just provide le deep serious moment on demand), but in the later seasons, the writers really went off the rails and started hitting you over the head with how bad Bojack is and how he's to blame for everything ever

they legitimately were furious people dared to like bojack, and they got more and more desperate to hammer it into the viewer's skulls as artlessly as possible that WHITE HORSE MAN BAD
meanwhile diane can just take advantage of everyone in her life while being the most toxic b-word on earth and the only permitted reaction is slay queen
