BoJack is perhaps a little more clever than it is uproariously funny, but it is often very clever, and, moreover, well-tuned to the ludicrousness of the sort of low-level fame that surrounds BoJack.
59 metascore? just wow people..this show isnt just about being **** the messages it **** so addicted to bojack horseman.Easily top 3 shows of all time,cant say more on how epic this show is...
Humor negro, irónico, sarcástico nada exagerado, siempre bien planteado y al mismo tiempo tan realista. Los personajes están muy bien desarrollados y hace que te importe que les pasa. Hay una evolución aunque parezca que solo con historias de 30 minutos.
Brilliant bodacious Bojack brings behemoth bounce to bipolar ****. See what i did there? Color me appalled by this show's critic metascore. The writing and illustrating are equal measures witty and innovative. The cast is sublime. The prescient narrative multiple viewings: Hank After Dark episode addressed sexual harassment a year earlier than every other TV series. Visual puns and references up the wazoo engage and help decompress from a weighty, layered storyline. Pungent satire explores issues by exploding them in absurd storylines such as Thoughts and Prayers on gun control and Brat, Brat, Pew, Pew on abortion. They even make time an ongoing and hilarious motif in the fourth season. Quick-witted, emotionally complex with a gorgeous palette. Sheer genius.
I've seen a good few negative reviews of BoJack Horseman, from critics and viewers, and I can certainly see why anyone that stopped watching after one or two episodes would hold those views as the show doesn't start all that strongly.
After a slow start however things do start to pick up. The continuity from episode to episode really helps build momentum, adding a bit more depth to proceedings than many other animated series, as well as allowing for some funny 'Arrested Development' style running jokes. The strong voice cast (that includes Will Arnett, Allison Brie and Aaron Paul) helps make the best of the script meaning that, even though it doesn't often threaten to reach the heights of shows such as The Simpsons or Archer at their best, BoJack Horseman does enough during this debut season for me to want to watch the confirmed second season.
Just for context, I watched the first season of this show. Each season is 12 episodes long and, each episode is 25 minutes long. That totals to 5 hours of content so, I think it's perfectly fair for me to say, I don't want to watch another episode of it. The first 7 episodes were family guy levels of bad with constant cut aways and, over all bullcrap that just killed the pacing. It didn't come off as clever in the slightest and, was repetitive with no emotional weight to anything. It's just a bunch of flat characters being flat. I mean you understand who they are but, they might as well be cardboard cut outs like in episode 7. So, yeah, that good. It got better by a margin as the show went on but, overall this was just nothing special.
If you have seen any dumb animated comedy series that only lasted 1 season then you have seen BoJack Horseman. Despite its stellar cast of comic actors, its just the same dumb jokes you have heard in every other adult animated comedy.
The only real strength of Bojack Horseman is impeccable casting. Aside from that, it's a highly overrated show. I just can't believe how much people fail to realize that this is nothing more than a circlejerk of Hollywood snubbery at its worst. The whole show relies on (inaccurate) criticisms of sitcoms and our culture in general. Please, any show that thinks MSNBC is right-leaning ought to have its writing staff euthanized. Furthermore, it fails to be anything beyond simply depressing. The character arc of Bojack is really just a ripoff of the later seasons of House, M.D. I only kept watching for Todd's side adventures. They make the rest of this drivel somehow not completely unbearable.
