Bojack Horseman is a show I recommend to a lot of people and then I'm like... well hold on. Its very funny but I would say equally dark. It'll make you laugh, but it will also bum you out. I still think its worth watching because no other show really goes there really with its jokes and its sadness and its everything really. Lol.
So in season 1 Diane Nguyen was writing a book about Bojack and that book kind of made him famous again and landed him his dream role as Secretariat... but Bojack is still trying and still failing at overall happiness. In this season he has a girlfriend and a breakup, his rival Mr. Peanutbutter gains success with a gameshow, Bojack's movie changes everything he liked about it. Its really a great season.
The characters are really well developed in this season, they were pretty well developed last season... but this season they really stepped it up a level. Even Mr. Peanut Butter, who was pretty one note last season has this big arch about his game show and his marriage to Diane and theres a lot of sadness... even for Mr. Peanut Butter. Todd, who joins improv which turns out to be a cult and he's very susceptible to getting in this kind of trouble... which we can remember from his Rock Opera episode last season. Uhhh yeah. Also Bojack needs him even though Bojack doesn't admit to liking him. Its really sad beautiful the relationship between the two.
And I read an interview with the creator saying that he wanted to focus more on different characters this season. Last year there was a lot on Princess Carolyn and this year they didn't use her as much... but that in its own way told a huge story. And she comes out really strong and awesome in the end, which is cool and totally Princess Carolyn. Theres also some big Diane episodes and some episodes less focused on Diane and her character is developed greatly because of that. She's not just this writer that wants to help the world, she thinks helping the world will help herself and when she realizes she can't do either the way she thought she could do she's crushed. And there is a great scene that I think is a cold open where Diane is watching Mr. Peanut Butter's game show and answering the questions about him and he's talking to her thinking she's still in Cordovia. Its really real and just very well done. Mr. Peanut Butter and Vincent Adultman are my favorite characters, so I was happy for more of them this season because they are really funny.
Another thing it mentioned in the interview was that objects have kind of a great importance in the series as a whole. Like the Hollywood sign lost its D and its now just Hollywoo. The Automan that Sara burnt in the first season is still burnt. The bed that Todd broke stays broken until Bojack fixes it for Wanda. Its because the emotional effects of these things are still there. And that is pretty brilliant.
So yeah. To me its one of the best done satire's on television and its really well done and good. Awesome! Yayyy!
Byeee!
