Reviews on series BoJack Horseman (45)

A bit of an impression right after the last series.

After full viewing, various plot twists, thoughts and simple words are crammed into my head, as happened with Diana, BoJack, Princess Carolyn - who also make sense of themselves as we do. It’s a bad thing that I didn’t personally see many other existing works, but just looked through them, while the mind tried to stop on the screen and find something like it, but could not do it fully. I would apologize to the directors if I could. But I was able to see it now.

Those very plot twists, varieties of characters and their actions, this is all in the series Horse BoJack. And although they are different and so elegant, I want to emphasize not that. When you hear the derogatory thoughts of the main characters, you imagine a huge hammer that does not hit them on the head, it tears their souls apart. As they peel, tear and stick together, they are still trying to find a glimpse into the darkness they find themselves in. Or the one you put yourself in. Souls undergo metamorphosis in order to adapt to the new world order, but they want to find excuses for such changes, to find meaning. They also want happiness. Sometimes it seems that it is so close that souls involuntarily begin to deceive themselves, considering the current reality as true happiness. But then everything turns around and returns to its continuous cycle - split, spiritual shifts, gluing! The series is straight and tells us that bottom really doesn't exist. You can go deeper into it, deeper into it.
- Why try to get out?
- Yes, I was wrong, everyone suffered from it, but there were reasons for it. I'm going to move on.

This is the answer you will often hear in the series, but in the end you will not hear this question or this answer. It's about trying.

It's trying to get not all happiness at once. Trying to get it a little bit. Establishing some aspects of his life, as shown in the series - the soul is torn from different things, but finds happiness gradually and all. If an accident turns you around, and then a second or third happens, you have to try to find happiness. And it's all about problem solving, but in a general sense. Diana had her problems, BoJack had hers, Princess Carolyn had hers, too. And they all slowly but surely found happiness or will. Everyone has their own path and their own methods.
So what did the show do? He’s alive, he’s not afraid to put the characters down from where they supposedly had everything to where everyone wants what they really want. And very, very slowly, but surely, they're making sense.

Why do I love watching a cartoon about a horse with addictions to everything in the world? Why is it so funny and sad to watch each episode? Why, with each successive series, does satire flow into ‘life’?
Alas, there won't be any answers. And the movie won't do that either.

BoJack's horse is a paradox. There are no “positive” characters, but to a lesser extent bastards. There are no “negative” characters in it, because all the characters in it are somehow bastards.
Maybe there's a moral in it? It is as gray as a concrete wall with a huge inscription "H*Y" made by vandals.
What about the plot? Well, you can start at least from the end and, in general, not much will change, because there is no plot. There are stories, events, episodes of life, but is this life? .

It’s like watching Balabanov’s movies. No plot, but there's a story. There are no “good” and “bad” people, just people. There is no morality, there is life.
The movie is definitely not for everyone. He's not trying to sit on two chairs like "Smeshariki," where kids will find a fun cartoon and adults will find references. He doesn’t flirt with extreme insanity like Rick and Morty, he tells mundane stories. He does not convey philosophy, does not try to provoke emotions, does not act as a clown for entertainment.
It's not 'Griffins', 'Futurama' or 'American Dad'.
So why is it worth watching? I can't answer that question. Maybe the catchy characters do not leave indifferent. And maybe it’s all about simple, like an axe, stories that are interesting to watch.
But when you start watching, it’s hard to stop, because it catches more and more with each subsequent series.

The most thoughtful, philosophical, heavy and depressing series I've ever seen. This creation is suitable for viewing people of mature age, soberly perceive life, have seen a lot. The series is by no means for a relaxing viewing evening after work.

The picture raises very important questions in human life, transferring them to the anthropomorphic world. Some he will drive into a deep depression, and others will pull out of it. Indeed, it has themes of growing up, finding oneself, the meaninglessness of life and existence on this earth, the midlife crisis, depression, the search for success in life. The series opens eyes to many simple and complex things, everyone will find answers to the questions that have troubled them for years.

When watching, sometimes you will laugh from the heart, and sometimes you will cry bitterly from what is happening on the screen, because all this really exists in our lives and how the authors perfectly transfer all our problems, tragedies, sorrows to the cartoon, which, it would seem, at first glance was intended for children, but everything turned out to be much more complicated.

10 out of 10

BoJack Horse is an animated series that not only managed to win the hearts of many viewers, but also shed light on many topical topics such as depression, addiction and the pursuit of success. Created by Rafael Bob-Waxberg, the series is a mix of black humor and deeply diverse characters, making it unique and unforgettable.
The plot of the series revolves around BoJack Horsman, once a popular actor from the 90s, who has since failed to find fame again and eventually faced problems in his personal life. Despite his animal origins, BoJack is a model of human weakness and despair that makes his story so realistic and tragic.

The main cast of heroes includes such actors as Will Arnett, Amy Sedaris and Aaron Paul. They perfectly convey the emotions of their characters, making them bright and multifaceted. Each of the characters has its own story, which is revealed during the series and is of interest to the audience.

The series Horse BoJack has excellent animation, which combines both the usual cartoons for adults and artistic elements that reflect the inner world of the characters. Thanks to this, the series becomes an unforgettable visual experience.

In conclusion, BoJack Horse is not just an animated series, it is an art that touches on complex issues and puts them in front of viewers, forcing them to think about their lives.

Having discarded my strongest emotions that I experienced after the end of the series, I would like to concentrate on one important topic that this horse touches well.
“Everything I know about being a good person I’ve seen on television, in which handicapped characters constantly express their concern and attitude toward people in broad gestures.” And I think part of me still thinks that's love. In real life, broad gestures are not enough. You have to always try to be good. You can't just mess it up and then take a boat to the ocean to save your best friend, or solve a mystery and fly to Kansas. You have to do it every day and it’s so... hard. - BoJack.
The impact on society by the storyteller is invaluable. We all learn from behavior patterns, morals, or heroes. We evaluate a film, book or Internet content by what they “carry”, but this principle does not allow alternative opinions, interpretations of the plot, other than yours. After all, according to this logic, if mankind would join hands and watch only one moralizing film, we would correct all the most terrible vices of society and the world order. But deep down, we know it won't work. There is something more here, and to our misfortune, unchanging. That is why, for most playwrights, morality and author’s thought are not the most important thing. (Perhaps because they don’t exist) So the question is, what is history? I dare to assume that this is only a small experience, and sad as it may be, in all its painful variety, with minuses, dual consequences, assessments, opinions and conclusions. In real life, we see clearly from day to day how people experience and evaluate the same experience differently, even if it is not their own experience. And often -- it hurts. But what is the pain of a fictional, unreal story?
To begin with, it should be mentioned that one of the most cornerstone and honorable points for a playwright is the task of showing the viewer a living person and the personality behind him. A character we would watch with interest, who we would empathize with and whose reality we would not doubt. Whether it’s a family sitcom, a western, or a sports drama about Secretariat’s horse, the same patterns that the public loves remain the same. And at the very moment when art imitates us, we imitate art, and this cycle is repeated so often that the line is erased to zero, then the whole intricate dramaturgical, television and film system does not work exactly as we expect. Because healthy people do not create drama.
And it is in BoJack that we have the opportunity to observe how and in what conditions sometimes fictional screen characters (Secretariat, sitcom characters) influenced conventionally real people (BoJack, Sarah Lin). This Hollywood horse is so vividly commenting on the relationship between the viewer and the author, especially in recent seasons, that there is no doubt that the silent consumption of content by a child can become one of the most destructive things only when he has no childhood, no understanding of love, no dialogue with his family. A small defective foal grows in a sick family (which in fact does not exist). On TV, he watches people who are even more deficient than he is and the lessons he learns about kindness, love, and the kind of person we actually need to be, which is what we see on the show. It is hard to even describe in words how wrong these lessons are. This is a burning concentration of everyday and screen experience, which, simply, a person should not either live or evaluate and take as a basis for behavior.
Now, remember how often you see people who act like... Like BoJack. But at a difficult and decisive moment, they still show their “true good soul” with broad gestures. That's what the show is about: heroism isn't just about that. Greater heroism is trying to be better every day, no matter how hard it is. Whether the reason for the popularity of BoJack’s stories in the Bible lies in the ancient principle of atonement for sins or in the fact that we are simply naturally interested in contradictory people: hooliganistic, impudent, but kind somewhere in the heart, I unfortunately do not know. But I think even one understanding of this is already great.
After the shattered first season, six months passed and randomly a video from a film search about this series came to my attention. I’m not a fan of the first half or the show’s sense of humor in general, but it’s not enough to say that the thoughts and feelings that the show gave me towards the end were worth returning to this animal but most human world. Ironically, of course, the morality of this series will also pass by most people. But otherwise, what kind of experience would it be if we all lived it the same? Shit.

This show consumed me. During and after watching it, I fell into a bottomless abyss of reflection, and I will be honest, I discovered many things - pleasant and not.
This is the story of Bojak’s horse, the main star of the acclaimed TV show, who has everything: money, a car, a house overlooking Gollyva and many, many women. At first glance, he seems to be an extremely callous man with a stone instead of a heart. However, this is not the case - this is a story about a broken man with a tragic childhood and chaos in his head.
The world of “God’s DOCK” is full of people and various animals, each of the characters is well designed and has its own story, dreams and fears. But what is one Princess Caroline - an amazing self-sufficient woman who on her own made her way into people? And there are quite a lot of such characters: within 6 seasons they really become very close to you people ... and animals.
Yes, it is a good comedy that can make you laugh to tears, but it is also a good drama that will make you think about life. There's a lot to think about. Each character here is written and shown so clearly that you penetrate into his personal problems, understand what is going on inside him. The series covers a variety of important and acute life topics, ranging from bad relationships with parents to drugs.

My opinion about this series has developed since the first season, although, frankly, the first series I forced myself to watch, and then penetrated so much that, waking up, I imagined myself in the opening of this series ... Yeah, that happens. This is the animated series that you will want to watch over and over again, and quotes from it fill your forehead, because it is so good! I wish I had ignored it and not seen it before.

The first thing you will have to deal with is drawing. Yeah, she's not what you're used to. Everything will seem like a hoax to you - from drawing characters to animation. But, to be fair, in later seasons they tightened up - still animation. But it's okay - you get used to it. And yes, strange animals who just live here and everything here, without introductory, backgrounds and explanations, will also have to get used to.
The second is that to fully understand the series and even more so the humor, references and homages you need to be very, very knowledgeable about American culture, familiar with the classics of sitcoms and various counter-cultural series of the 90s. And then either read criticism, or discuss in forums, it will become clearer.

Last but not least, it hurts. You can, of course, isolate yourself from this position ' oh, Americans, they think!' but no. All characters without exception are even Todd, brilliantly voiced by Aaron Paul (who Jesse Pinkman). I don’t even try to dig into the main character, it was done before me.
But here's every minor character, even the brightest and most positive Mr. Peanut Butter - he too has his skeletons and is more than able to cause a tear with his life. At the very least, he didn't deserve very much that he was bombarded 'friends'.

A series about adults, a series for adults. The series is mind-blowingly funny and monstrously tragic. I watched it and highly recommend it to everyone.

“How do you do something good when you’ve done so much shit that there’s no going back?”
I agree in advance that this review will be extremely one-sided, since this is my favorite animated series and I consider it one of the best series in history in general.
What, or rather, who's the show about? BoJack Horse is a typical resident of Hollywood, whose fame was limited to one sitcom, after which he was forgotten and all he has left, besides an inflated ego, is connections, problems with alcohol and substances, as well as a certain amount of money, which also began to run out and so he needs to write his biography. But no, the series doesn't revolve around his memories of the past, he only occasionally references them.

When I started watching this series, I was just looking for a show with good black humor, because I started it after Lucky Louis (about it another time), and I expected it to be something like that. At first it was, but gradually comedy in it became less and more drama. From a humorous series, he goes into a very serious picture, telling about depression, about finding and accepting yourself, about problems, injuries and their origins. At some points, the authors resort to very unusual techniques, for example: a series entirely built on one monologue, or an almost silent series, and so on. And it's all done perfectly. Humor is just a shell behind which drama hides. This describes the series and BoJack himself.

The series, which began as another satire on modern American society by the end of the first season, smoothly changed its vector to the study of the psychology of its characters. The choice of heroes is not accidental: the aging star of the sitcom of the 90s, BoJack, is quite a wealthy person with sufficient material resources for a good life. But here the main problem of the goal-setting of the modern urban dweller is revealed: I must work long and hard to have money and live happily. No, this is by no means the main problem of the series, but it is this choice of the status of the characters that allows you to avoid excessively superficial reasoning, which necessarily occur when discussing all sorts of dramas about hard life. The authors drop the need for food and safety from consideration to focus on the main: the need for ' notorious' self-realization.
Each of the characters in the series has their own ideal way of life, as well as each of us, but naturally, life is not at all like our dreams. Adding to this psychological trauma, our own complexes and selfish tendencies, we get in the series subtle psychological portraits of modern people. The authors competently concentrate the attention of the audience on subtle human problems avoiding major conflicts, which are so full of popular cinema. After all, watching how the next heroes save the world, fight evil, tormented by passionate romantic feelings, we are distracted from the real problems that worry us from day to day.
You can talk about this series for a very long time, but I want to conclude that this work leaves you not with thoughts about the fate of the main characters, but with thoughts about your own fate, so people prone to self-digging should advise this series with caution. If you are of this type of people, you will get a lasting impression from viewing and a lot of food for thought & #39; which you will have with difficulty, but with great benefit for the future & #39; digest & #39;

In Bojack Horse, Hollywood is populated by humans and anthropomorphic animals, which helps us better understand the character’s temperament, and also sets us up for an infantile attitude to what is happening. After all, if we see animals as the main characters, then we usually remember naive children's cartoons, where good will necessarily defeat evil. But the further you watch the series, the more you realize that it is a reflection of modern culture and its problems.
Bojack is the star of the 90s sitcom, who has problems with alcohol, drugs and promiscuous sexual relations. But at the same time, he is very lonely, he suffers from problems with his parents, he suffers from depression and tries to correct the mistakes of the past, sometimes making it worse. In general, almost every character has problems with parents, with understanding what place they occupy in life, what they really want, but there are enough funny moments, which is for the viewer as an incentive prize for all the depressive tone that passes through each series.

I cried in the finale. I cried from the realization that I am not alone, and it is really important in the modern world to be needed by someone. The sitcom that made Bojek a star was called Rye and the Horse. But, rather, the viewer is more sad with the horse than laughing.

39: Do you know what I do when I have a bad day? I imagine my great-great-great-granddaughter in the future telling the class about me. She's smart and funny, telling people about me and how it ended. And when I think about it, I think it will work out. '

It was something to do with...

As usual, thinking that I came across this masterpiece purely by accident ... and just fell into it.
BoJack himself is the embodiment of everything that modern life gives and spits back, so much recklessness and at the same time such a subtle nature. .

Mr. Pick-up is annoying at first, but then just penetrates to the depths of his soul with his simplicity. ..

Princess Caroline, my favorite, shiveringly cute and mirroring the modern society of a careerist.
Every hero takes a piece of his soul. .

The verdict is mandatory to view (it is enough to view a couple of episodes if it did not go, then by).
Don’t judge strictly the first time that something like this is written on emotions (and probably the last)

In English, there is a very accurate word for describing this type of series - 'Masterpiece' derived from magnum opus (in Latin, good work). Magnum opus in science or art is the best, most ambitious work of a scientist, writer, artist or composer. For numerous directors and screenwriters of this series (and there were many of them) 'BoJack Horse' became the debut work that gave impetus to their career.
For the main character of this series, the horse BoJack himself, such work was the series 'Horsin' Around' (in Russian translation 'Rzhem with a horse'), after which he lived for many years on the laurels of his own fame in a huge mansion, along the way engaged in self-destruction as a person.

And if the plot meets the viewer as a comedy with elements of drama, then towards the end it already grows into a drama with elements of comedy. Drug addiction, alcoholism, depression, sexual objectification and deviation, the death of loved ones, infidelity, abortion - this is only the top of many topics that the series raises. It is interesting to note that difficult topics here do not stand out, they are not accepted to emphasize and the authors of the series express their opinion always ' behind the scenes ' or with the help of stories of secondary characters. Speaking of which.

Everything that begins in other series as ' secondary characters' here they look like this only up to a certain time, and then they open for an hour better than the main character. Some of the characters and characters are amazing. What's also brain-breaking is that there's no 'unnecessary' & #39 series in the series. All actions and events in one way or another move the plot and change the characters, throughout the viewing there is a feeling of what is happening, and after watching the completeness of the story.

If you still have doubts whether it is worth watching this series even after all the above, then the icing on the cake is definitely its soundtrack. The soundtrack perfectly conveys the atmosphere of certain scenes, all the musical design in the series is perfectly selected. It has everything from classic rock and alternative to pop. And yes, in all 6 seasons I have never squandered the opening screensaver.

To sum up, my personal opinion is that TV shows like BoJack Horse & #39 set new quality standards for the entire industry.
10 out of 10

The series seems to hint at its essence to the answer to the age-old question: “Who is there in the main role?”. And, yes, the main character is unusual in that he is a horse. More precisely, a man-horse (as the name should be translated). Or, more precisely, an ordinary middle-aged man, but with a horse’s head, so in fact – the horse in the coat! He is also a member of the Hollywood show party.

The plot is about a well-to-do middle-aged man, with a bunch of complexes and shortcomings, the main ones being selfishness and drunkenness, who lost himself in this life and tries to find between drunks. In short, about the dull shit in the hole, which drives the wind from side to side.
He also has idiot friends who are sometimes more friends than idiots.
Because of the endless conversations, as well as the main character - an irresponsible dickhead, the whole action is somewhat reminiscent of the "Big Lebovsky". But that's also the beauty of it.

The feature of the series in dialogues and different life situations, some of which are very sensible and touching, and some are simply disgusting. And all this is like the underside of adult life, but in fact - just the lives of adult assholes.

There is a lot of psychology and philosophy in this film. On the one hand, history cynically demonstrates the features of social Darwinism, on the other hand, it tries to moralize over human vices and appeal to better feelings. The film is mostly about the problems of rich middle-aged people from show business, and its vicious unbridledness is somewhat reminiscent of "The Beach Loafer." But still for the category of “series for adults” he noticeably lacks rigidity, drive, cynicism and vulgarity. Although all this is in abundance, but very stretched in time, and therefore perceived solid talking.

Another feature of the series is that along with people, this world is inhabited by anthropomorphic animals, whose behavior deftly reflects the characteristic features of these animals or stereotypes about their behavior. Many funny sketches are built on this, and often they are swept in the background, in the form of a test of mindfulness.

The series looks like a full-fledged film, but long and cut into pieces, because in it the whole through plot, as they say, is linear. Probably, if you suddenly watch a series at random from the middle, 50% of the meaning will be misunderstood due to the lack of backstory, and the remaining half will be perceived with complete indifference and misunderstanding. The plot is linear, but with wisely spaced flashbacks that shed light on many of its dark spots.

In one episode, the idea of smartphones that love each other is played out. I like it.

The series is stuffed with various immoralities, and most often it is served in an approving manner, which unequivocally brings the film beyond the possible moral evaluation. But the 18+ movie, so it’s not my fault who didn’t hide. And the philosophical understanding of the plot still puts my confident “approval” of this series.
.. . You look at all these characters and you realize how little soulfulness these people have and how much they lack it! They are constantly hiding from each other behind masks and screens, forced to lie and hypocrisy forever, hide and fear exposure. The main suffering of all these people is this fear and this lack of humanity. The world of consumption and debauchery spoiled them, they did not receive a full family education, and could not enjoy family happiness in childhood. These are unhappy people, and this series is about deeply unhappy people who somehow try to survive in the gloomy forest of their kind. It is very correct that with the full power of the scourge, a place is given here and a “carrot”, timely and strictly dosed, and only in worthy hands.
It seems that on season 5, when the period of continuous “delay” begins to shrink, notes of obsessive moralizing imperiously break into the sphere of meanings, and rigidly put into their rightful places what has been hanging around for many years without proper supervision. I believe that in this place for a near-sighted viewer, the series becomes boring – and it really is! – but at the same time it acquires genuine drama, and this clearly translates it into a well-thought-out and integral films that make you think about life and look at it from new angles.

The arc of the hero here, although present, but still it is caused not by inner doing, but exclusively by life circumstances. So the main character has nothing to praise.

The animation is far from ideal in comparison with different animated masterpieces, but it allowed to save for other issues of provision.
Conclusion. It’s hard to say if that’s a lot for a good show – 1 day 8 hours 5 minutes – but I think the time spent watching it is good for me. And although he did not teach me anything good or new, it was still pleasant to see the animated project with good humorous and philosophical potential.
If you don't, you can start.

“Children before”, and there is no sense, because it is really about adults and adults.

PS

I can say for sure that I was very lucky with BoJack Horseman because I found out about it and started watching it when it was finished and released.

“Bojack Horse” is a film about existential longing, about loneliness – yours and everyone around you, about the acute awareness of the viciousness of your nature, the ineradicability of your shortcomings and the inability to reconcile with yourself, about the futility of any activity, about the meaninglessness of the suffering you have experienced and the uselessness of life experience. And all this is seasoned at times with good and deep humor. One of my favorite moments in one of the first episodes is: He’s so stupid that he doesn’t even realize that everyone is laughing at him and not at his jokes, so he’s happy about it. I am so jealous of him.

But throughout the series, one thought never left me: why is the main character a man (horse) belonging to the upper middle class? Why are there people around him who (mostly) do not need anything and do not fight for their existence? Where are the proud fathers of families, hung with mortgages, screaming wives and children? Where is the office plankton, serving a sentence in the open space from 9 to 18 hours, exhausted by the constantly dissatisfied and screaming superiors, and every day as hard labor sneaking into a crowded public transport for a job hated by the whole heart? Where are single mothers with children in their arms, working 14 hours of cleaners and dishwashers and desperate to get alimony from their fathers?

According to Thomas Piketty’s “Capital in the Twenty-First Century,” 50% of the population in the United States and Europe owns 95 percent of all the capital and property in the country. The reverse of the horrific statistic is true – 50% of the population in the United States and Europe own only 5% of capital and property.
That is, almost every second American owns only household appliances, is forced to wander around rented apartments and use public transport.

Where did the authors of the series hide a good half of America? These people do not exist – a faceless gray mass that does not care about everyone. Losers, losers who are not worth mentioning. They were removed from view so as not to spoil the picture.

Again, according to Piketty, the middle class is not in a particularly advantageous position – the richest 10% in the US own 70% of all capital and property, and the next 40% (middle class) account for only 25% of wealth.
Bojek is clearly in the top 10%. He is far from being a typical American, the exception, not the rule. In his life, he does not risk anything, because he has a huge financial airbag, he works where he likes, but often gives himself idleness and lives on rent. He doesn't have a problem with women. He didn’t create a family, but only because he wanted to, not because he couldn’t afford it. All his mistakes and shortcomings do not matter much, because no matter how he screwed up, he always has the opportunity to change his place of residence, go to another country where no one knows him, and start a new life. And this is in contrast to most other Americans on payrolls and chained to their jobs, whose position, as Nassim Taleb noted in Risking Their Own Skin, resembles modern slavery.
People (horses) like Bogeck are much less likely to say goodbye to their status, because in addition to money, they also have social capital, which they have acquired by rotating in the circles of people with similar status. In the event of a collapse, friends and acquaintances will help find a job, tell you how much more profitable it is to invest to increase capital, lend a helping hand.
All of Bojak’s troubles can be easily flooded with money. Life is not only sugar for him, but also for millions of other Americans, but he does not have half the problems they face.
Therefore, it is difficult for the hero to empathize, it is difficult to associate with him, his grief cannot be tried on. It is difficult for me to justify the choice of the main character by the authors of the series. There are many examples of films where existential longing is revealed on the examples of simple hardworking people, and among them is “Fox Hunt” directed by Vadim Abdrashitov, scripted by Alexander Mindadze, a hard to watch but very good film. And in the books of Camus and Sartre, with whom the concept of existentialism is associated, ordinary people are described.
I am not ready to much "minus" this series, since it has many good moments, and in general it is interesting and looks in one breath, but the lack described here is very much a horn to my eyes, not to mention it.

You are not alone. Your father and I... At least you honestly confessed to your inner ugliness. You were born broken. It’s your birthright, and now you can fill your life with projects, books, movies, and girlfriends, but nothing will make you whole. You're BoJack's horse, there's no cure. '

When I watched the first season of the show in an evening that went smoothly into the night, I thought I would watch everything else just as quickly - and indeed, the second, third, fourth and fifth seasons, I clicked by day. Constantly reproached himself for this speed and still included the next series.
As a result, for the first time in my life it became so difficult that the last season I stretched for a month.
Genre

It's a perfect mix of drama/comedy. It is very difficult to compare the sensations of the cartoon, because I feel filled from all sides - strongly everything. I will say right away - the project is not a children's one, here you will encounter the topics of abortion, alcoholism, drug addiction, cancer, death and a bunch of different exciting things. At one point, you feel like you’ve been shot in the chest; at another, you take your breath away, as if from ice water; then you unwittingly swipe a tear from something real and warm; then you freeze in the middle of a deafening attack of laughter – it’s funny until you realize that the situation is mirrored, and it reflects you. By the way, the series ending on a positive note here is a significant minority. So, there will be a reason to include the next series and be prepared that your heart will be trampled deeper into the mud. Also be prepared that at first the series will seem not what it really is - give it at least 4 episodes, and then decide whether to continue.
'Chekhov rifle'

There are no superfluous elements here - if something happened, if a shadow of doubt about what is happening has settled in you - this is something that will turn out in the future. Humanization of animals plays not only an important role in revealing the characters themselves (for example, it is logical that the Labrador will be cute, frivolous and good-natured when communicating with other characters), but also a funny role in the insertions between the main scenes, in every possible way playing the life of the beast in the metropolis. If you pause the cartoon, you will be able to see thousands of different details, imperceptible during normal viewing, and it will immediately become clear that everything was done with great love for your child. Everything depicted over 6 seasons has weight and significance.
Characters

I'm not going to talk about the characters, just know that there's a lot of time for them to be revealed here, and empathy will still find its way and rip a piece away from you. Everyone has their own destiny, their own past, and their own method of dealing with their inner demons—and not always the best. The voice actors are amazing, watch and listen strictly in the original! Todd, voiced by Aaron Paul, turned out to be an incredibly soulful and funny guy, and the voice of Will Arnett as Bogek is ecstasy for the ears.

No limits

The series does not adhere to them - in the third season there is a series where almost the entire timekeeping is not spoken a word; in the fifth season there is a series consisting entirely of a monologue by Bodzhek - every time, including a new episode, you do not know what kind of candy is inside, and this has its own little celebration.
So what's the bottom line?

Touching, funny, nauseating and nasty at the same time - no one is perfect, and it was in this cartoon that I found peace. While watching, I felt relieved that my problems in my head were normal. It is normal to see life from this angle, for I did not seem alone with such questions to the universe and to myself. And looking at the characters who also do not know peace, but live and overcome troubles, mature morally and logically come to some conclusions from the existing situations - along with them I came to conclusions. I am glad that the people who worked on the animated series created a real treasure that shared with me the sorrows and many cockroaches in my head, gave support and made it clear that you should not hang your nose in any case. It is this aftertaste that leaves the series - you want to live, let the hole from the experience remain inside.

Masterpiece, forced for the first time on the site to pick up a pen, gets its deserved
10 out of 10

'BoJack Horse' has such an impressive ending that I just don't have the words. This is the case when you realize that the series is over and you will miss these characters, with whom you have come a long way.
Take BoJack himself. To this sad, as well as daring and slightly unbalanced horse penetrated from the first series. Difficult childhood and the absence of any life reference points gradually kill him, forcing him to get mired in self-digging, and sometimes make rash decisions, the dubious results of which overtake him at the most inopportune moment.
BoJack is a fading television star who once starred in a popular sitcom. He seeks his place in life, not noticing how his actions bring people nothing but pain and bitter resentment. Unable to let go of the past, he drowns in alcohol and endless parties, wasting his life. By the beginning of the series we see him already potty alcoholic, fighting with depression.
BoJack is surrounded by his friends, with their own unique characters. Although the series has no problems with this, even minor characters appearing on several episodes can surprise. Plus, there are cameos from some stars from Andrew Garfield to Daniel Radcliffe. About the supporting actress Margot Martindale, I do not say anything, she has one of the best roles in principle. Some episodes with her participation are just a shock, in the best sense of the word.
' Horse BoJack' does not miss a chance to make fun of the actors, mocks Hollywood, laughs hard at various movie and sitcom clichés, and also gives actual satire on the world around us.
The way humor and drama are intertwined here, how well the characters are written, their experiences, personal dramas, the main plot - all this deserves applause. In addition, there are interesting directorial chips. Authors can simply single out a whole series for one single monologue, and can, on the contrary, make an episode in which almost no word is pronounced.
What distinguishes 'BoJack's Horse' from most adult animated series is a single finished plot in which the characters gradually change and mature. And their heartfelt dialogues may well replace a full-fledged session with a psychologist.
The plot develops gradually, gradually developing both the characters and the situations in which they fall. Sometimes some events pull others, and now, the finale of one season can play a role only after a few more seasons. So, the mistakes of the past time and time again overtake BoJack, reminding us that everything in this life has to pay.
About animation, I have almost nothing to say. Made quite simple, but at the same time stylish, and with taste. And the idea of anthropomorphic animals and people in one world also seems funny to me, and they also do not forget to play it often.
And in the series there is the best screensaver in the world, which you will never miss, and an incredibly sticky soundtrack. The song in the credits, by the way, is also great.

Thank you to the creators for this absolutely brilliant animated series.

Bojack is great at everything. A script honed to the smallest detail, characters revealed with jewelry precision, a virtuoso mix of genres. Humor, black, absurd and ordinary, surgically fit into the narrative. To keep my eyes on the truth. The usual truth of life. Sex, which is spoken without hypocrisy, but also without savoring. Animation, like without careful drawing, but subtly showing the feelings of the characters. Or aging. Will you tell a young horse by face? It's easy here. Over the course of 6 seasons, the characters grow, change, mature, but not immediately, through mistakes, past legacy, clash with their dark sides. And soon you don't give a shit about horses and cats and Hollywood actors and producers, you see yourself. One or all of them at once. You see our society - ours - is any, American, Russian, native village. As Todd put it in the last series: 'What does it matter what authors put into a work of art, the main thing is what people see in it' Bojack is an art of a new format, which without edification and dullness, without denying foundations and destroying morality shows us.
Thank you, Bojack, you turned my world around.

It is very difficult to explain to people what is so unique and, I am not afraid of the word, the genius of the series BoJack Horseman. All my friends and acquaintances who tried to watch this Netflix show left them right away. Yes, another ' adult cartoon' where animation is a premeditated convention, a tool to help talk about complex things. Yes, another storehouse of absurdist humor in an alternative reality – in this case in the world of anthropomorphs and people (about freaks and people, the West edition?). However, my nose did not let me down.

It was very cool with notes that consonant with my favorite Californication, and, of course, pleased with the topics that interest me vividly: Hollywood, cinema, filming, show business, production.
First, BoJack is a charming, intelligent, sarcastic, deeply traumatized, constantly in existential crisis sociopathic narcissist - absolutely my type. I mean, like a narrative hero (mostly). Also there are no less classy thoughtful and adult Daria Morgendorfer; charming careerist Princess Carolyn; direct downshifter Todd, voiced by Aaron Paul; independent indie director Kelsey Yannings; self-playing Margot Martindale; there's even Tarantino! By the way, you will be more interested if you know well Hollywood actors, directors and producers.
Second, I have not lived in art in such a deep, elaborate, realistic drama for a long time. It’s amazing how a movie can be so serious and dramatic. It's smart, fresh, modern. Bravo.

Third, the needles are realistic surrealism (I know, oxymoron) and crazy directing. Seriously, the people who direct and write the scripts, you have to see that. There are absolutely brilliant directorial techniques and ideas that amaze the imagination and generate creative ambition.

BoJack Horseman is an exhilarating postmodern mad, incredibly cool series about how we constantly fight our demons, how we reap the benefits of the sins and vices we sow, how we wound others and our future self, how we regret and again and again ask for a hundredth chance to start over. It's more than a series about how it's normal to be depressed, to fight adversity, to lose, to lose again. A moment of hope that you have found it, a new life, that you have managed to start over and become a different person (or not a person), to become a better person. And again...

And that's okay.

BoJack is my favorite animated series and I definitely advise you to get acquainted with it.
If at the beginning of the series is more like a sitcom, where the characters get into unusual alterations, then as you get closer to the finale, it becomes more serious.

Against the background of sometimes absurd adventures of the heroes, increasingly ambiguous and difficult topics are raised - the loss of loved ones, betrayal, abortion, depression, alcoholism.
After some episodes are over, you’ll probably be watching the running credits for another minute. Sobbing. This is normal and, judging by the numerous comments on the Internet, you are definitely not the only one. In BoJack’s world, characters are not divided into bad and good, so their experiences and problems resonate in the hearts of a huge number of real people.

But don’t think the show is meant to drive viewers into depression. Despite the dark moments, there is a lot of positivity in the series. Many characters find their love, work to their liking, learn to accept themselves, and this gives hope to a slightly depressed viewer.
For all the seriousness of the series is just a lot of jokes. If you have a good command of the language or can comfortably watch with subtitles - I advise you to watch in the original voiceover, because the number of puns and funny-sounding expressions is huge. There are also many funny references to pop culture.

The presentation is also very interesting: in addition to the usual episodes, you will see series-trips, series-flashbacks, even a series with almost no sound and a series-monologue.
For attention to the details of the creators I want to say a special thank you. Any word, deed and delusional idea can play through several episodes in the most unpredictable way.
I've seen BoJack 3 times and I suggest you watch it at least once.

The BoJack horse was a revelation to me. I’ve been advised for a long time, but for some reason I’ve avoided him for a long time. It's a shame.
The setting is quite unusual. The viewer plunges into the world of stars, in the famous 'Hollywoo', the inhabitants of which, quite unexpectedly, inside are just like us. Each hero has his own life path, which develops in this strange world, where anthropomorphic animals and people are on equal terms, and Tarantino, for example, is a spider.
The animated series is strikingly different from counterparts like 'Rick and Morty' because it is primarily a drama. The main characters do not show instant growth, but they are not spherical horses. They learn something, sometimes they try to change and/or understand themselves. It is curious that much emphasis is placed on the influence of the environment at a young age, subsequently, character is formed.
There is a lot of absurdity, a huge number of references to both the film industry and pop culture in general. Many things I did not understand, as ' not in the tank' but this did not prevent me from enjoying the picture.
Through all the narrative stretches a thin thread of despair of real life. On your head pours out of the shit of the present, but no one will chew and stick morals in your mouth, will not pat your head and will not say ' everything will be fine, sunshine' You're just left alone with all this. Take it for granted or rethink it. It depends on you.

Thanks for reading it.

An unexpected and extremely pleasant discovery of recent months is the animated series BoJack Horse. About such a vital, topical and melancholy work can not say a few lines. We are all BoJacks.

Of course, we do not shoot in Gollyva, we do not have yachts and villas in the property, but we have experienced experiences (if not all, then some) that tear apart the atntropomorphic horse one way or another.

Who among us hasn't lost loved ones? After all, everyone knows the bitterness of parting with friends, relatives, lovers. Who among us doesn’t feel like a complete idiot after doing something stupid? Oh, my God, my Twitter feed is full of epicfail stories. Who among us has not experienced a feeling of complete depression, bordering on depression, when you can not even get your ass off the couch? I know someone lives in this horror almost every day.
BoJack's horse isn't helping you with all this shit, he can't make his own out. The main merit of BoJack, and the rest, tragicomic, and charming characters of this animated show is a simple and obvious thing:
They're normal. Their problems, like ours, are normal. We'll make it. If not, what you can do is normal.

Bojack Horse is an animated series that was launched back in 2014. Then the audience met the first season with coolness, and critics completely blew it to dust. But the authors did not stop (which is commendable!), listening to the criticism and developing their own style, they released the second and third seasons. Then came a resounding success. Seasons received over 90 points on meta-criticism, which brought him closer to such animated hits as "The Simpsons" and "Futurama". Fortunately, after that, the authors of the series did not lower the bar and continued to give one season better than another. At the time of writing this review, “Bojak Horse” has 5 seasons and just great reviews from viewers and critics. What's so good about it?

To begin with, the animated series tells us about the adventures of one Hollywood star from the last century, who became popular thanks to a typical sitcom. The world in which the main actions take place is filled with people and anthropomorphic animals, which gives a certain amount of absurdity to everything that happens. Speaking of the series Bojack Horse, the word "absurd" can be used quite often - episodes and characters are so delusional and crazy sometimes that you can not even tell. But in this case, all this is an undoubted plus of the series. Where else will you see the wedding of a cat and a mouse with a human baby?
Also, the authors do not forget to dilute all this with humour and banter. I must say right away that it is specific here and not everyone will like it. And a lot of jokes and gags focused on different themes of pop culture, and even more on cinema. The series is about the adventures of the Hollywood star.

But probably the most important thing in the series, what distinguishes it from other animated shows, where a lot of jokes and monotonous banter is drama. Yes, you heard right, in the show “Bojek Horse” a lot of dramatic scenes and motifs. And it's all done so top-notch, you believe these heroes, you care about them. Due to the length of the series, the character arc works best here. The viewer, along with the main characters, goes through all the difficulties of life and develops with them. In each season, the authors present us with life situations and raise pressing questions, which makes the series even deeper and more realistic after some episodes, you want to curl up in a corner and repeatedly scroll through what you see in your head.
"Bojak's Horse" can hardly be called a positive, easy show for the evening. Either that or everyone will decide for themselves. As for me, among a huge series of the same type of humorous series, I want something lifelike, sincere, a series that can show what others are afraid of.

If I like something, I am always sure that everyone I talk to should like it. That's how I am. And even if I realize that this will never happen, I still can not accept it. There is a certain rating that has formed in my head, a list of things that I impose on everyone until I am directly informed that it is time to stop. And one of the elements of this list, for a very long time topping it is the series “BoJack Horse”.
Everyone needs attention from others. And if you don't admit it, you probably already have it. How many times have I heard the phrase that it is impossible to please everyone? Still, I’m pretty sure that’s what most people would like. Of course, it is important to realize the fact of this impossibility, to accept it as inevitable. But accepting the truth is not the same as accepting it. And no matter how often many people repeat the defiant: “I don’t care about the opinions of others”, in most cases this is a lie. And to me, it's obvious. Everyone wants to be a good person. Or rather, everyone at least wants others to see him as such. And in BoJack's hero, that desire is reduced to an almost absurd absolute. Repeatedly, he directly asks to be called good, because, despite his selfish and narcissistic nature, he is not bad at all, because even if he is a piece of shit, he knows about it for sure, which means he is at least better than those pieces of shit who do not know about it. Lermontov wrote of Pechorin that “this is a portrait composed of the vices of our entire generation, in their full development.” The same can be said about BoJack, only he serves as such for every person.
I recently watched a video claiming that BoJack helped him find himself. And I can hardly believe it. In any case, it is unlikely that he will ever affect me in this way. The series can hardly be called inspiring. Because even when BoJack has hope for something better, that he will change (usually at the end of the season), this feeling lasts only a few moments and is interrupted by a stark reminder of the harsh reality. But that’s what makes the show look like real life. There are times when an inspiring conversation with a confident person, a temporary change of scenery, just a well-spent evening in the company of close friends make you believe that getting better is so easy, that you have found the missing element that your whole life has not been enough to change. But time passes, and the enthusiasm you received then fades, courage disappears, and everything returns to normal. The seemingly infinite charge of energy did not knock you out of the potential pit, but only moved you far enough away from its deep bottom, creating a fleeting illusion of dynamism. And I love this show because it never tries to comfort the viewer that the moment you think, "Well, it's going to be okay now," it doesn't get good.

Many "BoJack" repels one of its forms: a comedy cartoon about talking anthropomorphic animals, in the first series pretending to be a scathing social satire, as if he can only gloat and laugh, leaving no room for other emotions. But, as with meeting a person, the deeper you learn the series, the more its facets open to you, the more you realize how much there is in it. And with each season, with each series, BoJack Horse acquires an increasingly thoughtful and lyrical rhythm, without losing its unique humorous component. I’ve talked about how important attention to detail is to me. I've watched the series three times, and some of the series even for the fourth, but when I watch it again, I always notice something new to laugh at. Such details are what, among other things, once again shows how much soul was invested in this project.
I have repeatedly used words like “everyone” or “everyone” above, in fact, however reluctant I may admit it, only about myself, because I cannot know exactly what is going on in the minds of others. But I'm pretty sure everyone else thinks the same way. Maybe without reason. Maybe because it justifies me. But I can't be the only one who looks like Bojack. Because otherwise, this series wouldn’t be so popular. Just as it's easy for me to say "everyone" instead of "I," it's easy for the viewer to associate himself with the protagonist, because it justifies his laziness and apathy. “If the hero of the series has problems similar to mine, then I am not the only one,” he said. - So that's okay. There is no need to deal with these problems.” So BoJack is not a tool to help you find yourself. Rather, it's a pillow you can sometimes cry in, a pill that will only temporarily remove symptoms. But is that clear? Perhaps, having dealt with the symptoms, this pill will give new strength in order to fight the disease. Strong and confident people do not need such a pill. So they reject the series from the first minute. Or maybe they're just afraid to admit that no matter how confident and socially active you are, there's a BoJack horse somewhere inside you, as well as inside everyone. Maybe I'm overthinking it, I don't know. But I know that being like BoJack is as normal as just being human. To reject it is as absurd as to reject your own being.

Why do adults watch cartoons? Let's have adult cartoons. Then the question can be posed on the other hand, why do cartoons for adults at all? Isn't it enough to have a film that is so developed and so bold in our time? The question does not want to be considered rhetorical, and the point is not at all in the possibilities of animation, which in private cases is much easier to implement than in the movies.
The cartoon is something that reminds us of childhood, of the time when everything was so primitive and everything aroused great interest in us. We were simpler, we were cleaner, so often the most ordinary cartoon caused a storm of emotions in us. We have forgotten how to cry, we have forgotten how to laugh. We do not want to laugh because we have forgotten what tears are. We do not want to make amends with laughter, since there are no such losses, we have become insensitive.

A cartoon is an artist’s fantasy, an image that was born entirely in someone’s head and was created thanks to someone’s hands. However, sometimes this image is more real than the image that great actors create. The actor, having played his role, becomes himself again, his image is at odds with reality, the animated character does not have such an opportunity, he forever remains within his image. In this respect, he is more real than a theater or film actor. The cartoon refers us to our very beginning and somehow acts on us subconsciously, making us feel a little stronger again.

Horse BoJack should be familiar to everyone. This is an anthropomorphic horse that lives in Hollywood, which is now inhabited in addition to humans by a variety of animals, feathered and insects. The plus of BoJack is that this is not a sitcom, the series contains an exact linear plot, it is interesting, we start to follow the story.

At first, the series may remind of “Pernicious California”, the very scene, the image of the character, even the style of narration and timing of the series – refers to the story of Henk Moody, but as you watch, the opinion changes, of course, BoJack is also tragicomedy, but with each series we are more and more in touch with the tragedy, and jokes and humor – only an excuse for comfortable viewing.
BoJack Horse is a series about the eternal depression that sooner or later begins to haunt each of us, regardless of our inner views, primary socialization and the comfort zone in which we are now. Emptiness is present in every thing that surrounds us and even the awareness of this does not make this emptiness smaller, since emptiness a priori has no size.
Along with snide jokes about modern show business and politics, through the lights of Hollywood and the ocean of California, the series intertwines the past and the present, and in some episodes the future. The latter is the frustration of the main characters that takes place in everyone’s life. “So what, it’s easier” – only says the heroine, answering the question, why she invents her future exactly the way it is never destined to happen.

The series covers a huge range of social issues. From global and political issues to issues discussed, such as gun possession, abortion, and drug possession, social issues shift to the individual, childhood, family relationships, and childhood dreams. Out of problems come mistakes that we are never meant to fix, that we will have to drag for the rest of our lives like a sack of thundering bones. Perhaps it is because of this bag that we feel this universal emptiness, but it is not in our power to throw it halfway, we do not have the gift of forgetting.

Netflix’s streaming service has long needed no introduction. Under his wing come hit after hit: "House of Cards", "Orange is the hit of the season", "Stranger Things" and a bunch of other things. They did not produce much animation products. The most famous, perhaps, animated series is an animated version of Hank Moody, created by Rafael Bob-Waxberg.
BoJack Horse is a faded sitcom star whose better days were 20 years ago. In order to return his name to mouth, BoJack undertakes to write memoirs, but all attempts are broken about the pathological laziness, depravity and childhood psychological injuries of the protagonist. To help him fulfill his obligations to the publisher is called smart and strong Diana, who all her life achieved everything herself, despite her origin. To help (interfere) BoJack will be his cohabitant Todd, an ex-girlfriend and, concurrently, an agent of Princess Carolyn and a half-boyfriend, but in fact a more successful rival – Mr. Podkhost.
The comparison with Hank Moody above is no coincidence. It's pretty much the same "Californication," just a side view. The same moral problems and illustration of the same vices. However, you can watch BoJack. At first it was difficult to get to know the characters, to get into their characters and relationships. Then the plot is more or less addictive and compassion begins. Some moments are shown very directly and frankly, which is called life. BoJack teaches you not to live.

Among the voice actors, such people as Aaron Paul, known to everyone for the main role in Breaking Bad, and the great and terrible J.K. Simmons, who received an Oscar last year for the role of Fletcher in Obsession. It's worth something.

You know, for a considerable experience in watching various TV shows, you involuntarily come to the conclusion that a particular project causes a variety of emotions. Something captures and, like a child, draws to the screen, like "Mysterious Events" or "Ash vs. Evil Dead." You have been watching something for a long time, perhaps even by inertia; you can include series of more than one generation, such as The Simpsons, Griffins or South Park. And to view anything, you are driven by either a wild hype or your friends; according to the classics of the genre, it will always be “Breaking Bad” and “Game of Thrones”. One way or another, absolutely any things in entertainment media affect us in different ways, but we always tend to notice the same advantages in this or that discussion of sabja: from large-scale plot moves to simple jokes. But what we are going to talk about today is an example of the most controversial, but also the most unusual TV show of recent times.
"BoJack Horse" tells the story of the anthropomorphic Horse - the former star of the popular in the 80s sitcom "Horsin Around". Despite the huge popular popularity of the series, time takes its toll, and no one remembers BoJack for 20 years outside the context of this series. He’s already in his 50s, and his main dream is to become famous again and talk about him again. It would seem that one of the most common stories about a former celebrity who wants to become great again, and everything will be fine and rosy. Nope. That won't happen. There are no happy endings or tragedies. The show does not fall from one extreme to another, which very often tears the pattern. The events here are in many ways tragic and sometimes bitter, but they are not shown with a pressurized sour mine; they are shown as they are, and magic is done here. Why?

Objectively, BoJack Horse is not strong in terms of visual or humor. Or rather, both are here, but very specific. In terms of the drawing, the environment of the characters is qualitatively worked out; the style is unusual, but pleasant; bright, but soft colors set the right relaxing degree, to become our hero, respectively, who has long been tired of everything, especially himself. The characters themselves look tolerable, but you will need to get used to them for a long time. Perhaps more than one series of eyes will cling to roughness, but over time you can get used to it. The humor in BoJack almost never comes to the fore; the main thing is to understand that the series itself never puts a lot of humor at the forefront. For example, during the first season, I was really torn by three jokes, the rest caused a smile. A lot of the point here is that the devil is often in the details, and a lot of humor lies in them, and in the setting, of course. Anthropomorphic animals of all colors and species get along with people more than cozy, and on this basis the series is simply full of very successful visual and dialogue humor.

But the salt of "BoJack" is in the dramatic component; or rather, in its presentation. No hard-nosed pathos or excessive tear presser. The situations and plots that are presented here can affect each of you in different ways; and not only the plots, but the characters themselves. The whole environment of our main character consists, probably, of the most realistic characters (in the framework of the cartoon about anthropomorphic animals, of course). The main characters here are more than fully revealed, which is surprising; the series largely focuses on them, not on jokes below the belt. Here and a simple guy - BoJack's lodger Todd, slightly stoned, but sensible; and careerist Princess Carol - BoJack's agent. Well, the most sincere character is Diana, a girl writer who is always as rational and restrained as possible. But the king of all action is, of course, our protagonist. A person is insanely complex; a person who suffers from loneliness and great hatred. Not to people, but primarily to yourself. The person for whom it is worth running and watching this show first.
But should everyone run and watch it? No, not everyone. If you want to watch a cartoon with a juicy picture and turn off your brains to the humor of 18+ – you “BoJack” will not come. Moreover, this project is so subjective and everyone can perceive it so differently that it is not the fact that it will come to lovers of dramatic works; it is very peculiar in this regard. Personally, after a few episodes I want to get away from everything and be alone with myself. And to me, that's exactly what the creators wanted, just because they talk about it openly in the show, and that kind of honesty doesn't break the first pattern. It's wonderful that the show is honest not only with its viewer, but with itself in the first place. With a tragicomedic orientation, it conveys to its viewer as simply as possible those things that he will necessarily understand; perhaps with time, but he will understand. Try it, guys. If it does, I'll be very happy for you. Soon evening will come; I will go to my balcony and wait for twilight. Thank you very much.

I've never seen such a lively and witty sitcom in a long time.

On the one hand, absolute nonsense, on the other hand, everything here is in its place.
In the first series, emphasis is placed on the humorous side and the unusualness of the picture. Animals, people, drugs. Everything is mixed up in one pile and you only look to see how far this madness can go. But the more we get acquainted with the characters and delve into the plot, the more we realize that this is not just a stupid funny cartoon, it is a deep serious picture that shows a difficult hopeless life.
We look at a horse or a cat and cannot help but see ourselves in them. If we omit the fact that part of the population here are animals-humans, and there is no logical explanation for this, then history is simple and has long been familiar to us all. The former star of the once-popular sitcom is living through a middle-aged crisis and mindlessly burning through her life. The last hope to find some moral satisfaction is a memoir book. Here the plot introduces us to the ambitious truth-loving and feminist writer Diana, her boyfriend - former rival of the main character Mr. Pickup, agent - former girlfriend of BoJack himself - Princess Carolyn, an unemployed friend of a slacker who has been sleeping on a friend's couch for 6 years, Todd and many charming and charismatic secondary characters. Each of them has its own oddities and vices, with which they live and fight.

Of course, BoJack himself stands out. Narratives tell us that he had better days and that much of his life didn’t go as he expected. It's largely his fault, too. He cannot step over and leave the past in the past, is afraid to make mistakes, is afraid to be unloved and much more. All the failures and experiences of the horse bring him closer to the viewer. It makes us root for him when he risks, cry with him, and smile when there is hope for a brighter future.

This show will not only entertain you with black humor and successful parodies of the world of Hollywood, but also make you think, look at things with a different look and perhaps change.

When you start watching this series, you probably won’t laugh from the very beginning. And it's not that bad, in my opinion, it's wonderful. I will try to explain why.

Sitcoms in our time comes out a huge number and with such speed that it is hardly possible to find something worthwhile, something new, in addition to the old proven by his own memory cartoons or TV series. BoJack is a new milestone that will be far from to the liking of anyone who prejudgments that there is no sense of humor. After overpowering several episodes, it immediately becomes clear that in front of you - something deep, strange, before this was not the case, what is the matter? It is said that comedy, but you do not notice the funny, everything is even depressing. And suddenly you notice the crisis of the protagonist, his problems and the problems of others, the subsequent string of acts of self-destruction and development of characters, so deep and important things are touched upon here. And then you can see the irony, sarcasm, cynicism, which was put in varying degrees in each, and how well they were selected images!
By its kind of activity, the main character is an actor, which gives the viewer his own eyes to see the entire background of the film industry. And it is shown as much as the sense of humor of the creators allowed, truthfully and sadly. But above all, BoJack is a drama, a tragedy, sometimes served in such hysteria that you want to laugh. Although the place for good jokes in the series is given not only when everything is bad - humor in the series is always and regardless of the situation, and it is not superficial, which is very pleasing.
I tried to explain exactly what this series touched me, to go into such details as the main characters, drawing and plot I would not like, so here is my concise opinion, why this series should find time to watch.
And my assessment is, of course.
