Board 8 > who was talking about Bojack Horseman

(+) Yeah! (+)

You guys said it gets really good in season 2 right? Just finished season 1. It's been fun
---

It does indeed. Super great show.
---

One of the best shows I've watched in a long time.

Back in the 90s, I was in a famous tee-veeeee show
---

yeah 1 is decent (sluggish towards the beginning but gets a lot better towards the end) but it definitely ramps up in 2 and especially 3

I haven't watched 4 yet though
---

Oh man I just laughed out loud pretty hard at the begining of the episodes where its supposed to beintense for the movie and he just goes "What are you doing here?"
---

Season 1 is mostly forgettable

Season 2 is a revelation

Seasons 3 and 4 have literally some of the best and most emotionally compelling TV of all time
---

I actually teared up to certain episodes in season 4
---

Still great.
---

"A show where David Copperfield makes the world trade center disappear"

"Oh man I dont want tobe the one to tell you this,but.... Copperfield isnt a draw anymore"
---

Yeah it pretty much just gets better

Season 3 has one of my favourite ever episodes of TV
---

as a dissenting voice, i think it mostly stays fairly consistent in quality. pretty solid show though, love the voice talent!

Time's Arrow

Elijah Wood

Perfect

i watched the first half of season 1 not understanding why anyone loved it with its tired premise of a narcissistic rich has-been asshole who thinks he's hilarious that everybody put up with

i was annoyed with bojack but stuck around for the side characters and the actually funny sight gags with the animal people doing dumb animal people things. also that intro is real good.

but yeah things got real later on and i couldn't get enough of it and now it's maybe my favorite ongoing tv show and certainly the best netflix original.

I feel you but I don't think Bojack, as a character, felt cliched at all compared to a lot of other versions of that archetype. Been a while since I watched Season 1 though.
---

oh no that description was solely my impression of him from the first 4 or 5 episodes. he has definitely grown to be way more than the archetype for sure, even in that same season.
---

you're gonna wanna pause for a bit after s3

it's just

that's too much, man
---

S2 > S1 > S3 > S4

deal with it
---

Yeah I think you guys over hyped season 3

Also Diane really slid as a character

Mr Peanutbutter and Todd are probably tied with Bojack right behind
---

That said the under water episode was great

but Stupid PIece of Shit is definitely my favorite episode now and legitametly fantastic period
---

Okay Ruthie fucked me up. They played that one pretty damn good
---

Time's arrow blew my mind. Amazing, for real. And the finale was good too

season 3 was over hyped but basically all of season 4 and especiallythe last half was amazing. I was so compelled and invested I was literally on the edge of my seat and had to stay up all night to see more

Wow.

It's arguably my all-time favorite show, a title that has long been held by Arrested Development.

Season wise I'm thinking: 2 > 3 > 4 = 1

But that's pretty hard to say. I honestly find season 1 fucking fantastic and wholly underrated. Even in the early episodes in the season, it builds the foundation to explore serious recurring issues for its characters, as well as lightheartedly pull out some brilliant social commentary as in "Bojack Hates the Troops."

Speaking of tearing up, season 2 made that happen way too much to me. Never quite experienced a show before that had me rolling on the floor in a fit of laughter and 30 seconds later deep in a ball of despair. It's definitely this point in the show where Bojack elevates itself to something truly special.

If season 3 lived up to the highs and lows of 2, I wouldn't really have a problem calling it my favorite show ever, but it never quite did. Definitely overrated, but there are still plenty of moments of painful truths as it explores the consequences of the events that took place in season 2.

I suppose it's time for me to give season 4 another go now, but I also found it a tiny bit underwhelming on the emotional front compared to season 2. It's more lighthearted overall, with a few hyper-focused serious episodes interspersed instead, like the already lauded "Time's Arrow." It is probably one of the funniest seasons, however, and just thinking about some of the moments here has me giggling to myself.

Once you've watched the whole thing, do yourself a favor and rewatch the early episodes because I think you'll appreciate them far more on later viewings. It really is the type of show that benefits so much from viewers already understanding its characters and world.

...I can't believe I just typed this all up on my phone. Goddammit, I really love this show.
---

also holy shit ScareChan...did you just watch the whole show in a day or two days
---

Like 2 and a half days I guess
---

The thing I liked the most about bojack is that his character felt real. Like he tried to have growth so many times but he just couldn't beat himself no matter how hard be tried. And even if he changed here and there what made him him still would hold him back
---

It's a fantastic show

Bump
