It got super dark last season, I mean it was ok but it was like depressing and not as funny, and I watch because of the funny aspect

Is this only on Netflix?

Dark can be funny though. But i'm skeptical with this show.

It's one of their first if not their first Netflix original. I thought it was gonna be stupid as hell but fell in love with the show when I actually started watching it. Dark and sad but very funny

Based on some posts here and elsewhere, I've started to realize that this show walks a difficult line.

There's a certain crowd of "serious minded" people that aren't going to bother clicking on it when they are scrolling through their Netflix because they see it is an a cartoon about talking animals. There's a different crowd of people (probably they love Archer) who are going to be turned off by Bojack because it includes serious, non-comedy aspects.

Thus, the show ends up trying to appeal to a niche audience who happens to share the sense of humor (like the abortion song) AND be interested in the deep topics (like when Bojack spends a year fixing up his family's old camp). It's sort of like Game of Zones- you need to be well-versed in the NBA memes AND Game of Thrones in order to really appreciate the brilliance, but that is a very niche audience.

The viewing experience jerks you around from one great laugh to a thought-provoking dramatic twist. It doesn't let you comfortably settle into either frame of mind. But that's part of what makes it such great art. Like a scene in a horror movie where things feel peaceful one moment then the killer suddenly pops out. In Bojack, the twists are twistier because you are always getting lulled to sleep.

Finally got around to watching it.

It is a close 2nd to Rick and Morty. It definitely is a lot better than I thought it would be.

It's WAY better than Rick and Morty.

Fucking Morty

Being dark is literally what makes it good..... It's been dark as fuck since the start of the show, they've just been less subtle about it recently.



Not even close lol. We've been over this a million times and for whatever reason, you don't get R&M. That's fine and all, but there's no animated show that's close to it.

Archer, Adventure Bros, Southpark, and Bo Jack have all gone in and out of being amazing and having their top season be close, but R&M is on another fucking level and the show continues rise in popularity even after a stupidly insane over hype buildup on season 3 is a testament to that.
