BoJack, the failed legendary 90's sitcom star from the favorite family sitcom Horsin? Around, who has been trying to find his way through a muddle of self-loathing, whisky and failed relationships. Now, in the presence of his human sidekick Todd and his feline agent and ex-paramour Princess Carolyn, BoJack is primed for his comeback.
When you look for beauty in life, the most rewarding moments are the unexpected. And for the third season in a row, the Hollywood comedy BoJack Horseman has surprised us.
While comically skewering the excesses of the anti-hero genre, the show's melancholy emotional pull and layered moral landscape also offer a chance for this devalued TV trope to regain some of its power.
Bojack Horseman proves... that embracing the genre's lack of boundaries can actually help elevate a show well beyond what we typically think the genre dramatically capable of. That may be Bojack Horseman's single greatest accomplishment.
The fact that I think BoJack Horseman is one of modern TV's most masterful offerings would no doubt please the praise-hungry horse himself, who continues to be nothing if not desperate for other people's validation.
The plot has evolved into as dark a satire on celebrity as anything else on television, especially as it has sloughed off some of the reliance on slapstick that characterized its early episodes.
