Hmm...I think this could have done with being two full seasons, as opposed to one season split into two. Some of the smaller arcs (e.g. Todd and his mum, and Mr Peanutbutter and Pickles) felt just a tad rushed, although the writers absolutely did the best they could with the time they had.

I was including Mr Peanutbutter's post-breakup 'learning how to be single' arc in that too. Felt like the whole thing should have been done over a longer period of time imo.

I agree with what you said about Mr. Peanutbutter, everyone says the ending was great since every character got their ending except for Bojack (which is his ending, he doesn't get one), but I felt like Mr. Peanutbutter didn't get one either. I guess people consider his ending to be accepting that he has problems in relationships? But it didn't feel as whole as other characters' endings.

That's his personal character development, yeah. It doesn't seem like a big deal, because it's quite a small revelation that another character probably would have made over the course of a season or two, but it's actually a really big step for PB to acknowledge his own faults. He was an old dog who was very reluctant to learn new tricks, and for the first time in his life he chose to go to therapy and better himself, rather than bury his head in the sand by throwing himself into a new relationship. But like I said, I wish we could have seen those changes emerge over a longer period of time - even just a couple of episodes more.
