        more power to you if you like it, but I don’t like the way it romanticizes depression / people with depression. I get that that may have been the point (after S1, when they gave up on trying to make a comedy show), but I think that show set back my recovery from depression a lot.

        I feel like Bojack was an asshole but it was kind of perpetuated by the people around him, there were several times in the show where he really makes an honest attempt to turn things around and almost succeeds but always ends up getting shot down, sometimes by his past, sometimes by the influence of the other toxic stars around him and at the end of the show when he tries to make a public apology and then gets bait and switched by the media into burning his own name to the ground in the name of more views.

        he’s very much still not a good person but he’s also kind of representative of how event honest attempts at redemption can be used against you.

      Easily one of my favorite shows, but I still upvoted you. Rock your own opinion.

      I rewatch every time my depression flares up, and I’m even more depressed by the end. And I hate Bojack more each time instead of instinctively siding with him. But I come out the other side feeling a little lighter, almost like having a good cry from a sad movie.
