By the end of the season, we know these characters, and this show, far better than ever before. BoJack’s signature tropes--the background visual jokes, the animal puns, the brutal moments of sadness--remain reliably consistent, but turns the focus largely inward, ensuring that some of the more outlandish plots support and highlight the more emotional storylines.
My stomach hurt from laughing whilst my eyes were red from endlessly crying. Another testament to this being amongst one of history's best the show is allowed to focus further more on the mental health of it's characters and the realistic implications it held . Amazing performances not only from the writers and animation team but the voice cast,this was Diane &mr.peanutbutter's seasons. Familial ties and trauma are honestly examined and it's intergenerational passage not excused as validation for the abuse of both parties.
After a rough start to its first season Bojack really upped its game and this fourth season is the best yet. There is still plenty of humour, both of the dark and absurd kind, mined from the shows characters and world but it also tackles heavy subjects like depression, dementia, miscarriages and alcoholism in a sensitive and unique way that few other shows, let alone animated ones in which the main character is an anthropomorphic horse, have managed and many episodes pack a real emotional punch.
This really is a superb season of television.
How did a story about a depressed, alcoholic horse become one of the most human shows on TV? ... Can BoJack Horseman pull off a fracking story line? You betcha. ... And BoJack Horseman never neglects to expand its rich, Hollywood-parallel universe, which is largely responsible for the show’s sardonic brand of humor.
BoJack Horseman never feels as if its grasping for relevancy or looking for a quick, cynical laugh to show its edge. They give vibrant, convincing life to the world that surrounds BoJack, even as he continues to struggle to look beyond his own snout.
The 12 episodes of the new season have episodes and moments equal to the show’s best. They also have ideas that don’t pan out, and an overall lack of cohesion--the main characters seem sequestered in separate story lines that don’t really mesh. A weekend binge is still recommended, but it won’t have the impact of the second or third seasons.
As a few shows, including live-actions, are so clever, funny and approach too many themes as Bojack Horseman. And a little part of this can't developing character's personality so well.
I thought bojack horseman looked like absoulete trash. But 4 weeks later and id seen series 1-4. The show is my absoulete all time favourite. Each of its characters are so unique and interesting, its witty blend of stupid humour is often mixed with with incredible emotion that is so true to life. I love Bojack horseman and all of its characters please watch it!!
This season seems really preachy. I was so annoyed with the Mr. Peanutbutter and Diane storyline that I couldn't finish the season. It's a shame, because I've been a fan of the show up til now.
There's absolutely nothing good to say about this show, have only watched it when as completely bored and watch the rest all of my shows and everything half decent.
