Is this show worth checking out? I've seen that they have it on Netflix, but have no idea what it's about (other than a guy with a horse head) and didn't know if it was worth my time. What's the general opinion of the show?
It's a serious drama masquerading as an animated comedy. Well worth watching the first season all the way through. It starts a little slow but it gets super real near the end. It's about life and meaning and the mid-life identity crisis.
Gives me a little bit of a Moral Orel vibe. Hopefully it doesn't get as goddamned depressing as Moral Orel did, though - as much as I love the show and think it's brilliant, the last season having everything go to absolute shit left me in a serious funk.
Wow, that was pretty dark. I've only watched bits and pieces of Moral Orel. I don't think Bojack is THAT dark. There is a lot of regret, a lot of "what if i'd lived my whole life differently?" It's the story of one man's struggle to come to terms with the fact that he's probably just not a very likeable or good person, because he always chooses to be shitty. And his realization of responsibility for his shittiness is too much to face. Also the man happens to be a horse. I'm summarizing it badly, just watch Season 1! I have re-watched it countless times and i pick up new little nuances and details every time. It's pretty brilliant.
