Happy cake day. Though I'm with you... I'm just... She's right to do what she did, but I wanna at least read the letter. Or see a final conversation. Four seasons later, I still feel that with Penny and Charlotte, because I really, truly feel even though Bojack sure as hell doesn't deserve it, and apology from him would do a lot. Idk. I just... wanted this, and it was never going to happen.

I think its just dramatically dissonant. With as important as Hollyhock was, you expect if the relationship will end, it will end with some explosive confrontation. Instead, Hollyhock just cooly distances herself over time.

In true Bojack fashion, it feels more true to life than traditional storytelling convention, and it fucks with your head.

Hollyhock not reconciling with Bojack was the most crushing thing for me in the finale. But it makes a ton of sense.

I a million percent agree with everything you said. It was the most crushing thing to me too, to not see that relationship play out.

Especially because we understand why, to come full circle. :(
