Bojack Horseman seems like it was the quintessential millenial show

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.

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 think by the final season the amount of suffering he has to go through just became comical.

Also the Penny thing was ridiculous and nonsensical. It was dumb enough as it was, but the scene where she sees him again and has a panic attack like she got r*ped is insulting. B-word you hit on a celebrity while you were of legal age and he DIDN'T FRICK YOU. That's the most traumatic memory of your life? That's enough to make you hyperventilate and faint?

P. sure she freaked out b/c he stalked her to a specific frat party. If he hadn't done that, she'd eventually either forget or keep it as a “that was strange” fond youthful memory.

He expected her to be damaged goods but was surprised to find she was doing just fine (until she saw him, for some reason)

Yes, he went to go check to see how her life was falling apart and got jumpscared by her living a normal party girl life. It's only after she sees him (& again after the reporters start knocking) that she develops problems.

If I hit on Jack Black and got rejected then saw Jack Black at a party my first reaction wouldn't be "oh no he stalked me here to silence any possible witness, allow me to now faint like a victorian lady with consumption"

Speaking of which, Bojack getting crucified by the media and everyone he knew also reminds me of the whole #MeToo thing. And by that I meant #MeToo is only effective against washed out people with no power like Bojack, while the hippo is still untouched.

Just unintentional Hollywood thing.

Nah, he was a total creeper and he was her mom's ex. That's some fricked up shit.

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.
